About Ross
Ross Wykes is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. He focuses on helping adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strains and questions about life purpose. He also works with people facing anger, low self-esteem and major life changes.
Ross draws on his own experience of depression and anxiety to relate to practical struggles. He looks at concrete contributors such as work, diet and relationships, and how they affect daily living. Sessions aim to identify what matters to the client and to build simple strategies for managing symptoms and making steady change.
He uses a mix of counselling approaches rather than one fixed method. That means sessions can include skills work, reflective conversation and short-term problem solving. The emphasis is on what helps the person now, with options to try different ways of working if something does not fit.
Clients commonly bring concerns about commitment, attachment, communication and intimacy. Ross also works with issues linked to substance use, eating and feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame. He offers straightforward discussions about these topics and practical tools to address them.
Sessions tend to be direct and focused. Ross helps people set small goals and checks progress over time. He asks about expectations and adapts pacing so clients feel the work is manageable. To begin, he asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It supports people who need a clearer sense of their values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or low mood.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. DBT techniques can be useful for anger, mood swings and problems with self-control. These approaches are used in simple, step-by-step ways so clients can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan together. That means clients play an active role in choosing what fits their needs and preferences.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often use a mix of conversation, skills practice and brief exercises that transfer to everyday life.
