About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not like themselves. She introduces herself simply and kindly, offering a calm, down-to-earth place to talk. Rachel presents as a relatable counsellor who aims to help people find clarity at their own pace.
She uses a person-centred approach, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead rather than giving instructions. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual, so sessions move at whatever speed feels right.
Background and approach
Rachel aims to help clients notice their own answers and make sense of difficult feelings. Rachel trained and works as a counsellor and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Before moving into counselling she spent over a decade in leadership and business, and she draws on that experience to bring clear thinking to sessions.
Her life experience includes navigating cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting, which she says informs her empathy and honesty. Clients often come to her for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also has additional focus areas that include abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness and disability, body image, caregiving stress, and some personality and relationship concerns.
Sessions are framed as a collaborative effort. Rachel aims to hold space that is both compassionate and gently challenging when needed, helping people take practical next steps and notice small changes over time.

How Rachel works online
She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support practical change. These techniques aim to help people manage anxiety and low mood by introducing small, achievable steps and by exploring patterns that keep problems active. The emphasis is on useful, clear actions rather than complex theory.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss different ways of working with each person and agree together what feels most helpful. Decisions are based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences, so the plan can change as progress is made.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm which options are available before booking.
