About Ross
Ross Wykes is an integrative counsellor who draws on his own experience of overcoming depression and anxiety to support people taking steps towards change. He offers straightforward, compassionate help and practical tools for everyday struggles. Ross aims to make the first step feel manageable and clear for those feeling overwhelmed.
He focuses on the whole picture, looking at work, diet, relationships and personal values to understand what keeps problems going. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with plans that try to fit into real life. Ross uses a mix of talking and practical techniques rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
People come to him for issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression. He also addresses relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, anger, coping with life changes and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Ross works with concerns linked to attachment, commitment, communication and control.
His practice includes approaches like client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness. These are combined to match the person in front of him rather than applied rigidly.
With three years of experience and NCPS listed as a credential, Ross aims for short-term practical gains alongside longer-term growth. He encourages people to focus on small shifts that make daily life easier and more meaningful.
How certain approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy is built around the person's experience and focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach allow time to reflect and build trust through regular conversations.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT can include homework tasks and short check-ins to practise new skills between meetings.
Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In an online context this often means learning grounding, distress-tolerance and communication tools that can be used in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ross will discuss different methods with each person and agree a plan together based on needs, goals and personal preferences. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most useful and realistic.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, offer shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time, helping people maintain steady progress alongside work and family commitments.
