Ross Wykes
Understanding, practical support for life's challenges
About Ross
Ross Wykes is a counsellor who draws on personal experience of recovering from depression and anxiety to guide people through difficult times. He holds NCPS and has three years of practice. Ross aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to help people build practical skills for day-to-day life.
He focuses on mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression. Ross also helps people work through relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
He pays attention to factors outside therapy too, like work, diet and personal values. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Ross listens first, then helps clients identify patterns and small steps they can try between meetings.
He uses a mix of approaches to suit each person rather than a single fixed method. Typical conversations include exploring attachment and commitment worries, communication problems, control issues and feelings of emptiness or shame. He also supports people tackling drug and alcohol concerns and eating or food-related problems.
His work can cover jealousy, forgiveness, purpose and midlife transitions. Ross aims to create a clear, personalised plan with measurable goals. Some clients notice change after a few sessions, while others need longer-term work.
The emphasis is on practical coping strategies and gradual progress that fits everyday life.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens openly and helps clients find their own way forward, which suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and life purpose.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It is useful for anger, impulse control and coping with intense feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try approaches and adjust plans as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life and to keep momentum between meetings.
