About Rebecca
Rebecca Slaymaker is a counsellor and a member of the NCPS with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Sessions are offered in English and aimed at adults seeking practical help with these concerns.
Rebecca uses an approachable, person-focused style. She listens first and helps people set clear goals for therapy. Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with additional tools from mindfulness and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
In practical terms she helps people spot unhelpful patterns and test small changes. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, trying short mindfulness exercises, or using guided relaxation to reduce physical tension. Conversations also look at relationships and how past experiences affect current struggles.
Rebecca has treated a broad range of issues linked to life changes and family pressures. Her additional interests include attachment matters, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, dissociation and fertility concerns. She also works with problems such as hoarding, infidelity and isolation.
Her sessions aim to be calm and focused. Rebecca and the person she is working with agree clear next steps and review progress. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session through the online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Rebecca often combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred work focuses on listening, reflecting what someone says and helping them clarify their goals. It suits people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options and agree with the person which methods to try. That decision is made together, taking into account the concerns, what feels comfortable and what the person wants to achieve.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, because 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 can also let someone choose sessions that suit their energy levels, for example a quieter audio call or a video meeting when a longer conversation is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals typically offer this flexibility, and Rebecca will explain practical arrangements once you begin the process.
