About Rebecca

Rebecca Slaymaker is an NCPS counsellor practicing in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation. Sessions draw on a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques to help people manage everyday problems.

Rebecca uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person sitting across from her. That means she encourages people to lead the conversation while offering reflective listening and support. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour into small steps that can be changed over time.

Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness Therapy appear in her toolkit as ways to build concentration and develop calmer responses to stress. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at recurring patterns that affect mood and relationships. In sessions she combines these approaches to match the immediate concern and longer term goals.

People come to Rebecca for a wide range of issues beyond anxiety and depression. She works with relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, career stresses, family problems, attachment issues, body image and identity questions, and life changes such as fertility or blending households. She also supports those dealing with dissociation, emptiness or hoarding behaviours.

Her practice aims to be straightforward and practical. New clients are invited to describe their situation and set short-term goals. Rebecca helps people try clearer ways of thinking, small behaviour changes, and focused exercises between sessions to track progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client guides the topics each session. Online this typically means spent time checking what matters now and following the client's lead to build helpful responses. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions; online sessions use structured discussion and practical homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Hypnotherapy draws on focused relaxation and suggestion to change how people respond to stress and habit patterns, and can be adapted to guided exercises during a remote session.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with the client to identify current needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to start with. They can review what is working and adjust the approach over time so the work stays relevant to the person's life.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practical exercises and homework to be discussed straightaway so people can test changes between appointments.
