About Rachel
Rachel Huyton is a BACP counsellor based in the Midlands with three years of full-time counselling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Rachel also notes additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, addiction, and questions around life purpose.
She uses a practical, person-focused way of working. Sessions begin by agreeing what the client wants to address and setting short-term goals. Rachel describes using relaxation and meditation techniques alongside conversational work to manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Her background includes more than ten years of management experience in a mental health service, which she says has given her a broad view of how mental health difficulties affect daily life. That experience informs how she plans sessions and liaises around needs and practical arrangements.
Rachel offers both face-to-face and online appointments and is prepared to work with individuals and couples. She asks prospective clients to suggest possible days and times so she can respond with suitable options.
Sessions are arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are invited to use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. Rachel conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy asks the therapist to follow the client's lead and focus on what matters most to them. In practice this means sessions concentrate on the person's immediate concerns, feelings and goals, with the counsellor reflecting back what is said and helping to clarify priorities.Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It is often used when people feel directionless after a life change, when dealing with grief, or when thinking about purpose. The approach encourages honest reflection and practical choices rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and Rachel treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss options during the first sessions and adjust the way she works to fit the client's needs and preferences. That discussion includes deciding how much time is spent on practical coping skills such as relaxation, and how much is given to exploring values and life direction.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as the biography notes she offers online appointments but does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simple to continue regular work or appointments without changing their daily routine.
