About Ross
Ross Wykes is a counsellor and a member of the NCPS with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He offers help for stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, self-esteem problems, depression, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
He draws on several approaches to make sessions practical and straightforward. Ross uses client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters to the person in front of him. He also employs cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try out small changes in behaviour. Dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness tools are used for managing strong emotions and building everyday coping skills.
Ross tends to look at the full picture. That includes work, diet, relationships and personal values. He discusses factors that feed a problem and helps people try out clearer ways of relating, communicating and regulating moods. He also supports people dealing with addiction, compulsive behaviours and eating-related difficulties.
Many clients want concrete steps rather than only talking. Sessions often include practical strategies, short exercises to use between meetings, and focus on what can be changed now. Ross aims to help people reduce distress, improve communication and regain some day-to-day control.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session through the platform. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Ross uses approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their own thoughts and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to try different responses to problems. That approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and repetitive thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ross will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their needs and goals. That means picking techniques that fit the situation and testing them in everyday life rather than committing to a single model from the start.
If you plan to use online counselling, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The platform asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then to schedule a first session. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use the time for other commitments.
