About Rachel
Rachel Huyton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of full-time practice. She focuses on anxiety and stress as well as relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and low mood. Rachel works to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most to them.
She draws on a client-centred way of working so the person sets the pace and direction. That means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals.
Background and approach
Rachel also brings elements of existential therapy, helping people make sense of difficult life questions and find meaning when things feel confusing. Her background includes management experience within a mental health service, which gave her wide exposure to different mental health issues and the pressures they create. Rachel uses that practical knowledge to keep sessions grounded and realistic.
She often incorporates simple meditation and relaxation techniques to help with immediate stress and panic symptoms. Rachel aims to agree a plan with each person so sessions feel purposeful. She offers online and face-to-face work and can adjust formats to suit different schedules.
People are encouraged to suggest days and times, and she will respond to arrange appointments. The approach is respectful and warm, with an emphasis on flexibility. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change, and on small, manageable steps toward feeling steadier and more in control.
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what is said, asks about priorities, and helps the person decide what to work on. It suits people who want a supportive space to be heard and to find their own answers.Existential Therapy looks at bigger life questions such as meaning, choice, and purpose. Sessions can help when someone feels stuck, lost, or overwhelmed by life changes. The approach encourages honest conversation about values and how to live more in line with them.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel right. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments, or other responsibilities while keeping a consistent schedule.
