Rachel Sprunt , BACP

Rachel Sprunt is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or out of step with themselves. She brings 3 years of clinical experience to her online practice and combines a practical background of more than a decade in leadership and business with an empathetic, person-centred way of working. Rachel focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and she also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and relationship challenges.

Her practice is grounded in the person-centred tradition, so she accompanies people rather than directing them, helping them discover their own answers at a comfortable pace. She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to introduce practical coping strategies when appropriate. Rachel holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects professional standards in the UK.

Counselling is personal to her; lived experience including cancer, divorce, motherhood, step-parenting, and career reinvention has shaped her empathy and honesty. She aims to provide a calm, non-judgmental space where exploration can unfold, offering a balance of compassionate listening and gentle challenge to help people make sense of who they are and move toward meaningful change.

Person-centred care and evidence-based tools online

Rachel works from a person-centred foundation, which means she prioritises listening, empathy, and your own pace of progress. This approach helps people explore their feelings and values without pressure, and is useful for issues like identity, relationship concerns, and making life changes.

Alongside person-centred work she incorporates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical skills for managing symptoms and day-to-day challenges. These techniques focus on building coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and developing clearer ways to respond to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Rachel partners with clients to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences become clearer, so therapy feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or health demands. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life, maintain continuity of care, and access a licensed professional from a familiar setting.
