About Rachel

Rachel Sprunt is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, directionless, or overwhelmed after changes in work, relationships, or health. Her main concerns include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.

Rachel uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and helping people find what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client. She aims to reflect what clients say and help them notice options rather than prescribe steps.

Her own life experience informs how she works. She has navigated cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting and previously worked over a decade in leadership and business. That background shapes a practical, grounded style that balances gentle challenge with straightforward conversation.

Rachel also pays attention to specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and areas like BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture. She talks through day-to-day coping and longer term questions about purpose and direction.

Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the online booking route.

Approaches for direction and life changes online

Rachel works from a person-centred approach which means sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people notice their own choices. This approach suits people who need space to talk through what matters without being told what to do.

She also draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help with stress and anxiety. These techniques can include simple grounding and breathing strategies and structured ways to break problems into manageable steps. They are useful for day-to-day coping and when anxiety or low mood make decision-making harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods feel most helpful, adjusting over time to match goals and preferences. This is a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or schedule sessions around work and caregiving commitments.
