About Ross
Ross Wykes is an Integrative Counsellor with three years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. Ross also addresses family and intimacy-related issues, anger and coping with life changes.
Ross draws on several practical methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. He uses straightforward tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then tries new ways of responding. Sessions focus on simple steps a person can practise between meetings.
He pays attention to everyday factors that feed distress, such as work, diet and close relationships. Conversations also look at values, needs and patterns that keep problems cycling. This gives concrete aims to work towards rather than vague goals.
Ross favours a collaborative way of working. He listens to what people want to change and then builds a practical plan with them. Plans are reviewed as progress is made so the work stays focused and useful.
People can expect clear, task-focused sessions that aim to reduce distress and build coping skills. Ross explains methods in plain language and suggests small experiments to try between sessions. To start, readers should check the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire.
How Ross uses practical therapies online
CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It breaks problems into concrete parts and uses short tasks to test different responses, which can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep repeating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s perspective and priorities. Sessions give space to talk through what matters most and for the counsellor to reflect what they hear. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful with anger, relationship strain and addiction-related patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ross treats this as a shared process - he will talk about what you want to achieve and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted if something isn’t working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They can also suit quieter conversations when you do not need to be on camera for the whole meeting. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, often find online work lets people apply new skills between sessions in real life situations.
