About Ross
Ross Wykes is an integrative counsellor who draws on his own recovery from depression and anxiety to guide others. He uses a practical, down-to-earth style and offers tools people can try between sessions. Ross focuses on helping clients build resilience and find clearer ways to move forward.
He pays attention to the whole picture. That means looking at work, diet, relationships and daily habits that affect mood. He also explores values and personal needs to shape a plan that fits each person.
How Ross works
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what works for the individual. Ross combines several approaches rather than using one fixed method. He adapts techniques to suit different problems, so therapy can feel flexible and relevant.
The aim is to create a personalised path rather than a one-size-fits-all programme. People often start by identifying a few practical goals. From there they try short exercises and small behaviour changes.
Ross tracks progress and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helping. This keeps the work practical and aimed at day-to-day life improvements. He has three years of counselling experience and holds an NCPS credential, which is used to show professional registration.
Ross practises from the United Kingdom and runs sessions online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. He conducts work in English and does not accept international clients.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflects back what matters most, helping people feel heard and clearer about their needs.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small changes to shift mood, anxiety and unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving tolerance of distress. It can help when anger, impulsive behaviour or overwhelming feelings get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ross will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose what fits their goals and preferences. Therapy can blend elements from different methods so the plan matches the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see visual cues and work more deeply in sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress or fitting therapy around a busy day. These formats help make regular contact easier and support steady progress.
