About Ross
Ross Wykes is an integrative counsellor who draws on his own experience of living with anxiety and depression to guide people towards steadier days. He uses practical tools and straightforward conversations to help clients make small, useful changes. Ross presents himself in a calm, direct way that aims to reduce worry and make sessions feel manageable.
He focuses on common struggles such as stress, low mood and addictions, and also works on relationship and intimacy-related worries.
Background and approach
Sessions look at everyday factors like work, sleep and eating, alongside feelings, values and what matters most to each person. This helps build a plan that fits real life rather than an abstract ideal. Ross mixes approaches to suit the person in front of him.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred listening and cognitive work to help people understand and shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are used when helpful to manage strong emotions and build steadier routines. People meet Ross on video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, depending on what they prefer.
He works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. His listed credential is NCPS and he has three years of experience. Initial steps are simple: follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book a time that suits.
Sessions come via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

Online support
How approaches like EFT and CBT work online
Ross offers Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps people notice and voice the feelings that lie beneath relationship and intimacy concerns. EFT aims to shift how emotions are understood so patterns feel clearer and easier to change. Client-Centred Therapy is also central to his work and focuses on listening without judgement and following each person’s pace to build trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going and to practise different responses in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Ross will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is good when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions can fit a short break or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
