About Rachel
Rachel Huyton is a BACP counsellor based in the Midlands with three years of professional counselling experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Rachel also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, and guilt and shame.
She draws on a client-centred approach, focusing on what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions are arranged around the individual and a plan is agreed together. Rachel uses elements of existential work to help people consider meaning, choice, and how they want to move forward.
Before training as a counsellor she spent over ten years in management within a mental health service. That background shaped her understanding of how mental health problems affect everyday life and relationships. She says this experience helps her recognise practical pressures alongside emotional ones.
Rachel offers online sessions and face-to-face appointments. She has worked with single clients and with couples. She also brings practices such as meditation and relaxation into sessions when these fit the person's goals.
When someone starts with her they complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Rachel asks people to suggest days and times that suit them so she can respond and set up an appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's priorities first. Online sessions using this approach start with what feels most pressing and follow the pace the person sets. It suits issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and feelings like guilt or shame.Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and personal values. In an online conversation this can mean looking at what matters now, how past choices affect the present, and what new choices might look like. This approach is often used for issues around life purpose, grief, and deep questions of identity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will help the client decide which methods feel helpful and will adjust plans based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative rather than fixed at the first meeting.
The biography indicates she offers online sessions; please confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can fit around other commitments. It also makes it possible to continue work when attending in person would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as relaxation and meditation to suit an online setting.
