Rachel Sprunt offers straightforward, online counselling for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not themselves. She provides a calm space to talk through anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and major life changes. Rachel writes plainly and meets people where they are, without judgement, so clients can move at a comfortable pace.

Her style comes from the person-centred tradition, which means she listens deeply and follows the client’s lead rather than giving directives.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to help people notice their own strengths, make clearer choices, and manage difficult emotions day to day. Conversations are practical and grounded in everyday life. Rachel draws on personal experience with cancer, divorce, motherhood and step-parenting.

She also spent more than a decade in leadership and business before training in counselling. That mix gives her a direct, compassionate way of working that balances warmth with focus. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional practice.

Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and conducted in English. Rachel supports people with a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas listed, including issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, aspects of sexuality like BDSM and kink, autistic spectrum matters, and relationship-related patterns like commitment or codependency.

The aim is to help each person find manageable steps they can take between sessions.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Rachel commonly works from person-centred principles, which means the counsellor listens closely and helps clients find their own answers. This approach suits people who need a steady, non-directive space to make sense of feelings like grief or low mood.

She also draws on evidence-based techniques aimed at building everyday coping skills and clearer thinking. These practical methods focus on small, achievable steps you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage stress more effectively.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Rachel will discuss different approaches with each person and adapt the plan based on goals, needs and preferences. The first sessions are used to assess what helps most and to set realistic targets together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial expression and tone, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins during busy days, and text messaging gives a written record of reflections and tasks. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and health demands, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
