About Rachel

Rachel Huyton is a counsellor based in the Midlands. She has three years of full-time counselling experience and a background in managing mental health services. She aims to make sessions calm and practical so people can focus on what matters to them.

Rachel helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or who are dealing with grief. She also offers support for relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a range of related concerns such as panic, obsessive thoughts, and problems with attachment.

Background and approach

Her approach is person-focused and flexible. She works with each person to agree a plan that fits their needs. Rachel uses simple practices such as meditation and relaxation alongside talking work to help reduce immediate distress and build longer term coping skills.

She brings practical experience from over ten years in mental health service management as well as three years providing counselling full time. That mix gives her a broad view of how different difficulties can affect everyday life and what practical steps can help. Sessions can be arranged online or by phone and are shaped to suit each person's schedule.

Rachel aims for a warm, respectful space where someone can talk through concerns and try out different ways to feel steadier day to day.

How Rachel’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps you clarify what you want from therapy. This approach is useful for stress, relationship worries and low mood because it centres your priorities and choices.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, responsibility and life direction. It helps when people feel stuck, empty or unsure of purpose by opening up new ways to make sense of difficult experiences.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with you to decide which ideas and exercises suit your needs and goals. She adapts plans based on progress and what feels helpful to you.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when you need less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, staying in touch between sessions, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
