About Rachel
Rachel Huyton is a BACP counsellor with three years of full-time counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and those coping with relationship problems, trauma, abuse, grief and loss.
Rachel practised in a mental health service setting before working privately, and she has over ten years of management experience in mental health. That background means she is used to seeing a wide range of problems and the strain they cause in day-to-day life.
In sessions she works with people to agree a plan that fits their situation. She uses client-centred ways of working that focus on the person’s own views and choices. She also draws on existential ideas that look at meaning, values and how people navigate big life questions.
Rachel includes relaxation and basic meditation techniques in talking sessions when these suit the person’s needs. She offers both one-to-one and couple appointments according to the original biography, and she is available for in-person work in the Midlands as well as online.
Practical arrangements are discussed directly with clients. The sign-up process uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies by location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor offers understanding and reflects what the person says so they can clarify their own thoughts and feelings. This approach suits people who want a non-directive space to think through anxiety, relationships or low mood.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and choice. It helps people facing life changes, questions about purpose, or feelings of emptiness and isolation by discussing what matters to them and the options they see ahead.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt the way she works to fit those factors. That means the plan can change as the sessions progress and new priorities emerge.
The biography notes that Rachel works online as well as face to face. If you want online sessions, confirm the available session formats when you book so you know which options are offered at that time. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping the focus on the issues you want to talk about.
