About Rebecca

Rebecca Slaymaker is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation and relationship concerns. Rebecca uses direct, practical methods to help people make changes that matter in everyday life.

Her approach draws on several therapeutic styles. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters to each person and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness exercises and brief hypnotherapy may be used to support calm and focus when appropriate.

Rebecca also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. She helps people talk through family problems, attachment struggles and the fallout of past trauma. Practical steps and emotional reflection are balanced in sessions so there is both action and understanding.

She offers sessions in English from the UK and is not currently taking international clients. Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the see online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.

Sessions are aimed at adults seeking help with everyday pressures, life transitions and relationship strain. Rebecca keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the outcomes the person wants to achieve.

How sessions work

How Rebecca uses therapy approaches online

Rebecca often combines client‑centred and cognitive behavioural work when meeting people online. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify what matters to them; it helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship strain or family worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical tools to shift anxious or unhelpful patterns.

She may also use mindfulness exercises to build calm and present-moment focus. These are short practices that help with stress, low mood and rumination. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options with the individual and agree which methods suit their goals, pace and preferences so the plan feels collaborative.

The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into everyday life. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, fit appointments around work or childcare, or avoid travelling. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to support steady progress without asking someone to change their routine significantly.
