Rebecca Slaymaker, NCPS

Rebecca Slaymaker is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works respectfully and compassionately with people who are finding life difficult. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk things through and start to find clearer ways forward.

She focuses on stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship strain, grief and loss, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Addictions, coping with life changes and career worries are also areas she commonly addresses. Rebecca tailors sessions to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her work draws on several approaches, including client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness, with additional tools such as hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas when appropriate. In practice this means listening closely, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying practical ways to change what isn’t working.

Rebecca also pays attention to longer-standing themes such as attachment issues, dissociation, feelings of emptiness and family problems. She supports people worried about body image, caregiver stress, infertility concerns, blended family dynamics and similar life stresses. Conversations aim to be down-to-earth and focused on what will help day to day.

She is registered with NCPS, which is shown as her professional credential. Sessions are carried out in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to her and scheduling follows from that initial match.

How Rebecca’s Approaches Translate Online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. It starts by listening without judgement and follows the pace the client sets. This approach helps people feel heard and supports work on issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and grief.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses straightforward tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.

Mindfulness therapy encourages paying attention to the present moment and learning gentle ways to respond to strong feelings. It can reduce reactivity and improve coping with everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options together and adapt methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.
