About Rebecca

Rebecca Slaymaker is an NCPS credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns and life changes. Her practice also covers self-esteem, motivation and addiction-related worries.

Rebecca uses straightforward, person-focused sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Conversations aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try practical steps that can change day-to-day life.

Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy shapes sessions around the client's priorities and pace. She also uses mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy where these fit a person's needs.

Rebecca has worked with people facing attachment issues, blended family issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and caregiving stress. She also supports those coping with infertility, bereavement, and losses to routine or purpose. The emphasis is on manageable steps rather than lengthy theory.

Sessions cover practical topics such as managing anxiety day-to-day, setting boundaries, improving concentration at work, and dealing with loneliness. Rebecca encourages small experiments between meetings and reviews what helps and what does not. This keeps the work grounded and realistic.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Rebecca commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy during work with clients. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace, letting them lead the topics while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you learn what helps.

Check which session formats are currently available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or caring commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the counsellor about the practical arrangements that suit your routine and technology so sessions can fit into everyday life.
