Rachel Sprunt, BACP

Rachel Sprunt is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unlike themselves. She meets people where they are and provides a gentle, non-judgemental space to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

Her style is rooted in person-centred work, which means she listens closely and helps people find their own solutions rather than prescribing answers. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person's needs, with an emphasis on practical steps and clearer thinking when that is helpful.

Rachel draws on lived experience alongside professional practice. Personal challenges such as cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting inform how she connects and holds difficult conversations. Her previous decade in leadership and business also contributes to a focused and organised approach to therapy.

Over three years of counselling practice have shaped her way of working into something warm and direct. She aims to combine compassion with gentle challenge when a nudge may help someone try a new way of coping.

People choosing to work with Rachel can expect straightforward conversations about goals, progress and next steps. She encourages small, achievable changes and helps people notice what is already working in their lives.

How Rachel uses evidence-based approaches online

Rachel practices with an emphasis on person-centred principles and evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage current difficulties. Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and gently guiding people to notice their own resources and choices; it is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

She draws on evidence-based techniques that support behavioural changes and clearer thinking in everyday life. These approaches encourage small, practical steps such as breaking challenges into manageable tasks, trying different coping strategies, and reflecting on what works. They are useful for stress, depression, chronic health adjustments and rebuilding confidence after loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to identify methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress and needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family life, shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and avoiding travel time.
