About Rachel
Rachel Huyton welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, panic or stress and want a steady, practical way forward. She makes time to listen and to agree a plan that feels manageable. Rachel aims to create a calm, respectful space where worries are taken seriously and small steps are celebrated.
Rachel has three years of work as a full-time counsellor and more than ten years of management experience in a mental health service. That background means she has seen many different kinds of mental health struggles, including anxiety, panic disorder and panic attacks, depression, trauma and grief. She draws on this experience when she plans sessions with people.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Rachel uses client-centred work to focus on what matters to the individual. She also uses existential ideas to help people think about meaning, values and difficult life choices. She often brings simple relaxation and meditation exercises into sessions to help with overwhelming physical symptoms.
Rachel offers both online and face-to-face appointments. She can work with individuals and with couples, and she asks people to suggest days and times that suit them when they first get in touch. She aims for a flexible approach so therapy can fit around everyday life.
Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rachel works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a session time.
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and tailoring sessions around their needs. This approach helps when someone wants practical support for anxiety, panic or relationship worries by keeping the conversation focused on what matters most to them.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and personal values. It can help people facing life changes, grief or feelings of emptiness to clarify what matters and make deliberate decisions about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work with the client to agree which ideas and exercises suit their situation. That collaboration means sessions can change over time as goals shift or as practical concerns arise.
Rachel offers online work but the biography does not list every session format in detail, so it is sensible to confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow the use of short check-ins or longer therapy slots depending on what is needed. She also uses relaxation and mindfulness exercises that adapt well to a remote setting.
