About Ross

Ross Wykes is an integrative counsellor who draws on his own experience of overcoming depression and anxiety. He offers practical guidance and tools to help people build resilience and handle everyday struggles. Ross presents himself in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps easier for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

He focuses on mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and low self-esteem. He also helps people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, coping with life changes and family concerns. His work pays attention to factors like work, diet and personal values that shape how someone feels.

Sessions use a personalised plan that fits each person’s needs and personality. Ross blends different approaches rather than relying on one method, so sessions are shaped around what helps in practice. He believes most people notice meaningful change after a few sessions, though each journey is different.

Ross lists Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness Therapy among the approaches he uses. He helps clients apply simple techniques and reflections between sessions to support steady progress.

Ross has three years of counselling experience and holds NCPS as his credential. He works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Ross adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. It focuses on listening, empathy and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problem habits. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through techniques like emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ross will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made. That collaborative planning is a core part of his way of working.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as taking a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. They also let people use sessions from wherever they are comfortable and can suit those who prefer talking rather than in-person meetings.
