About Rachel
Rachel Huyton welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or low mood. She is a counsellor who aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. Rachel uses a calm, respectful style and adapts sessions to individual needs.
She has three years of full-time counselling experience and additional management experience in a mental health service spanning over ten years. That background means she is familiar with a wide range of mental health concerns and the pressure they place on everyday life.
Background and approach
Rachel helps people work through relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and the practical fallout of separation or divorce. She also supports people struggling with panic, obsessive thoughts, body image concerns, addiction, and the isolation that can follow difficult life changes. Her approach is person-centred, so conversations revolve around the client’s priorities and pace.
Rachel also draws on existential thinking to help people consider meaning, choice and values when life feels stuck. Sessions can include simple relaxation and meditation techniques to manage overwhelming feelings between meetings. She offers flexible arrangements so practicalities like timing and format can fit around each person’s life.
Based in the United Kingdom, Rachel works online and offers a style that aims to be warm, direct and practical. She is registered with the BACP and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
Existential Therapy looks at life choices, values and meaning. It helps when people feel stuck, unsure about purpose, or weighed down by big questions after loss or major change. Sessions encourage honest reflection and practical steps towards clearer priorities.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to figure out which style fits their needs, goals and preferences and adapt the work as progress is made. The plan is reviewed as therapy continues so methods can change if something different would suit better.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever someone is, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around busy schedules. These options make it easier to book appointments around work, health or family commitments and provide flexibility in how people want to take part.
