About Ross
Ross Wykes is an integrative counsellor who draws on his own experience of overcoming depression and anxiety to support people through difficult times. He uses a down-to-earth style and offers practical tools to help clients build resilience and clarity. Ross describes counselling as a collaborative process and encourages straightforward conversations about what matters to each person.
He focuses on mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, and helps people with relationship strain, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. He also works with anger, coping with life changes, and midlife concerns. Men's wellbeing is listed among his areas of interest.
Ross looks at the whole picture when he meets someone. He talks about how work, diet and relationships link to mood and behaviour, and explores personal values and needs. From there he helps the client shape a plan with simple steps to try between sessions.
His practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness Therapy to adapt to each person's style. He aims to keep sessions practical and focused rather than full of jargon.
With three years' experience and NCPS on his record, Ross offers approachable support for common and complex problems. He encourages people to start small, try a few sessions and notice whether things begin to shift. To begin, users follow the site process to make a match and arrange sessions.
Approaches you can try in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises an open, non-judgemental conversation and helps people explore what they value and need. It is useful when someone wants a safe space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people relate to others. It can be helpful for anger, relationship problems and situations where mood swings cause disruption.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ross will discuss different methods with the client and together decide what fits best based on goals, preferences and the issues at hand. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work between sessions while using the same therapeutic approaches they would in person.
