Hi there. I'm Mike Ross, a humanistic, trauma informed, therapeutic counsellor.  

I use empathic, reflective practices to help my clients understand their experience of trauma and develop lasting resilience.

If you're looking for support with your mental health and personal development then maybe I can help.  

I've been a qualified therapeutic counsellor and member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) for 6 years.  In that time I've supported many clients, most of whom were either creative industries professionals or students in higher education studying to earn BA or MA qualifications in creative fields of study.

I have particular experience in supporting those who suffer with -

• Substance dependence (such as alcohol, cocaine, prescription medication)

• Struggles with neurodivergence (ie. ADHD, Autism, AuDHD)

• Creative struggles (writers block, imposter syndrome, option paralysis, task initiation etc.)

• Anxiety & depression

• Trauma, attachment & grief

• intrusive or suicidal thoughts & suicidal ideation

• compulsive behaviours such as gambling, sex & shopping

I'm also a trained and experienced Specialist Mentor (SM-MH/ASC) with experience supporting higher education learners in receipt of Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) who are neurodiverse and/or suffer from mental health conditions such as generalised or acute anxiety disorder etc.  I can provide DSA application assistance and work as a private mentor for those who aren't eligible for DSA support or who are waiting for assessments.

My in-person practice is based in Brighton, U.K and I also offer online sessions.
