About Rachel

Rachel Huyton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of full-time clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and low mood. Rachel aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful so people can start talking about what matters to them right away.

She tailors each session to the person in front of her, agreeing a plan together rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Background and approach

Rachel draws on meditation and relaxation techniques to help people manage symptoms between meetings. Her approach is calm and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on practical steps that can be used day to day.

Rachel also brings over ten years of management experience in a mental health service, which gives her a broad perspective on how different problems can affect life, work and relationships. That background informs how she plans care and coordinates with other supports when needed. Clients can choose online formats such as video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Rachel works collaboratively to set times that fit each person’s schedule. Her stated professional credential is BACP, which is recorded as provided.

Rachel’s style is steady and attentive, aiming to create a space where people can explore what’s causing distress and try small, practical changes over time.

Online approaches that focus on you and your choices

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to help them understand feelings and make choices that feel right. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship stresses, grief and matters where feeling heard matters most.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and personal responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, empty or unsure about life purpose to examine what matters and to make decisions that align with their own values. This can help with issues like isolation, guilt and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through different ways of working and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process lets sessions change if something isn’t helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, while phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and more flexible timing across the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel commitments.
