Ross Herron, BACP

Ross Herron has practised as a counsellor in the United Kingdom for 13 years and holds BACP accreditation. He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss. Ross aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can begin to make sense of what is worrying them.

Ross believes each person knows their life best and brings strengths to the work. He uses that knowledge to support change rather than imposing solutions. He encourages small steps that feel manageable and builds on what is already working for the client.

In sessions he pays attention to patterns in how people connect with others and with themselves. He draws on approaches that help identify emotions, repair attachment strains and set realistic goals. This can help with problems such as intimacy difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and struggles with purpose at work.

Ross also offers support for those dealing with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and major life transitions. He blends emotion-focused conversations with solution-oriented planning so people leave with clearer next steps. The practical aim is to reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of agency.

Taking that first step can feel hard, and Ross treats that decision as an important part of the work. He invites people to start with what they can manage and to shape therapy around their priorities.

How selected approaches work in online therapy

Ross uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how people connect with others and how those patterns affect feelings and relationships. Attachment work focuses on repeating patterns in relationships and helps people understand and change those patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with emotions so they can be expressed more constructively and used to guide decisions.

He also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person's experience at the centre of each session. That approach prioritises listening, respect and working at the client's pace so goals emerge from what matters most to them. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process where the therapist and client check what is helping and adapt as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will discuss how to shape sessions to match your goals, availability and practical needs so the work fits around everyday commitments.
