About Rachel
Rachel Huyton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of full-time counselling experience and a background in mental health management, which gives her familiarity with a wide range of difficulties. Rachel aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
She tailors sessions to each person and works with them to agree a plan that meets their needs. Rachel helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression and low mood. Her practice includes attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and feelings of emptiness. Sessions are flexible and can draw on simple meditation and relaxation techniques when they fit the person's goals.
Rachel says she prioritises practical steps and a welcoming atmosphere in every meeting. She will collaborate with each person to set goals and check progress as therapy continues. Rachel offers work online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she also sees people face to face.
Her experience includes helping people affected by communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, addiction, dissociation and obsessive thoughts or compulsions. Her practical approach is aimed at making therapy feel manageable. People can expect clear discussion of what they want to focus on, gentle guidance through difficult feelings, and support in finding small steps forward.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions at times that suit both parties.

Approaches Rachel lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Existential Therapy invites discussion about meaning, choice and personal values. It can help when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure about life purpose and direction, and it encourages honest reflection rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt the way she works as therapy progresses, aiming for a collaborative arrangement that feels right.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls suit those who prefer not to use video, live chat allows a real-time typed conversation, and text messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and other commitments, and they offer flexible ways to keep continuity between meetings.
