Rachel Sprunt, BACP

Rachel’s work is grounded in person-centred practice, which focuses on attentive listening and supporting people to find their own solutions. In sessions she offers a steady, empathetic presence that helps people name feelings and decide on practical next steps. This approach suits issues like depression, grief, and low self‑esteem where understanding and self‑acceptance are important.

She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce unhelpful patterns and increase coping skills. These techniques help people manage anxiety and stress by breaking problems into smaller, manageable tasks and practising new ways of responding. They are useful when someone wants concrete tools alongside reflective conversation.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues, adapting the plan if needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to in-person work and allow for a fuller conversational experience. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messages suit shorter reflections, quick check-ins, or people who prefer written conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, and other commitments.
