Rebecca Slaymaker, NCPS

Rebecca Slaymaker is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or grief. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation and relationship worries. Rebecca approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Her practice is flexible and personalised. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual. She draws on client-centred ideas to listen closely and make space for what clients bring. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes.

Rebecca also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage difficult feelings in the moment. When appropriate, she may incorporate elements of psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns that repeat over time. Hypnotherapy is another option she can offer as a way to access calm and focus during sessions.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, career stress, and coping with major life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, fertility and caregiver stress. Rebecca helps people talk through family problems, isolation, body image and control issues.

Her style aims to be practical and straightforward. People can expect a tailored plan, clear goals and a supportive space to work through problems. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. Online sessions using this approach let the counsellor respond to what matters most and build trust over time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions this can mean setting practical tasks between meetings and using simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice and sit with difficult feelings. Practising short exercises during or between sessions can help reduce reactivity and bring more calm into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins or a quieter environment on a day you need it most.
