About Rachel
Rachel Sprunt is a BACP counsellor offering gentle online support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. She frames sessions around what each person needs and helps clients find their own answers at a steady pace. Rachel draws on a person-centred way of working, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead rather than directing the session.
People commonly bring stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression or difficult life changes to work through.
Background and approach
She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where small practical steps and honest conversation can make a difference. Her life experience has shaped how she counsels. She has lived through serious illness, divorce, motherhood and step‑parenting, and a period of career change.
Those experiences inform her empathy and help her stay present with difficult feelings without assuming she knows the answer. Before training as a counsellor she worked for over a decade in leadership and business. That background influences her style when clients want clarity, structure or help breaking big problems into manageable tasks.
Rachel balances warmth with gentle challenge when needed. Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Rachel works with people in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.
If someone is unsure about starting, she encourages a short initial step to see how the working relationship feels.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques explained plainly so people know what to expect. A person-centred approach focuses on staying alongside the client, listening closely and helping them access their own solutions; it suits people who need someone to reflect feelings and priorities back without direction. Trauma-informed and grief-aware ways of working help when strong emotions or loss are present by pacing the work, normalising reactions and using grounding steps to manage distress.Finding the right method is part of therapy. Rachel treats this as a collaborative process and will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read non-verbal cues and have a fuller conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter updates or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and health demands while still maintaining a steady therapeutic rhythm.
