Rebecca Slaymaker, NCPS

Rebecca Slaymaker is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Rebecca aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion while tailoring sessions to each person's needs.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are shaped around what a client wants to change and how they notice thoughts and everyday habits affecting their life. She uses a mix of conversational, reflective and goal-oriented techniques to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.

Rebecca draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a warm, non-judgemental space. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and shift thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas appear in her work when exploring attention, emotion and personal history.

She has helped people facing a wide range of concerns, including addictions, trauma and abuse, family problems, and life transitions such as career change or fertility struggles. Rebecca also supports those managing attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are tailored to the individual and the plan evolves over time. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she focuses on clear, manageable steps so people can build confidence and make steady progress.

Combining practical approaches for online support

The practice commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and topics of the work. It helps when someone needs acceptance and time to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behaviour, and uses manageable exercises to test and change those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what feels most useful for the person's goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps, so the first weeks are often about trying different techniques and keeping what works.

Confirm session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try approaches such as CBT homework or mindfulness practices between meetings, helping skills become part of everyday life.
