I work with children and adults! When working with children, I like to involve the parents where possible. When working with adults, motivation is always effective in making change. I enjoy thinking with clients about realistic and long lasting goals, and I spend time working on a formulation to understand which patterns may be helping or hindering those I support.

Life can feel very heavy after a loss, a trauma, a relationship breakdown or a big change you didn’t choose. You might feel anxious, low, overwhelmed or simply not like yourself. If this is where you find yourself, you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m Martin Ross, a person‑centred counsellor in Northwich. I work with adults, children and teens around grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and major life changes. My style is warm, steady and down to earth. I offer a calm, non‑judgemental space where you can talk openly, at your own pace, and we can gently make sense of what’s been happening for you.

I work with people from all walks of life. Anyone who has spent time feeling unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed— anxiety or low mood, navigating family tensions, work pressures, or wondering if a late ADHD diagnosis might finally make sense of years of masking and exhaustion. If you want to feel understood, calmer, & more connected to who you really are beneath the coping and holding‑it‑all‑together. You’re longing for a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend, where your feelings are taken seriously, and where you can talk freely without judgement. Your goal isn’t perfection—it’s relief, clarity, and the chance to feel heard

Hello lovely person on the search. It can be a daunting step, asking for help, finding a person you feel you can trust... whether this is your first brush with therapy or you have had therapy before and are now looking for a different approach or simply the next step... I welcome you both. You might be wondering why, oh why, things don't change despite your best intentions, why you still feel misunderstood. Maybe there is grief lingering, depression holding you back, relationships just not working out. Developmental trauma and Complex CPTD may be running the show for you... and that's tricky.

Do you want to understand why you are the way you are — and why you feel the ways you do? Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling like they were doing life slightly wrong. Most are neurodivergent adults exhausted by having to explain themselves. Some are families trying to navigate systems that don't listen. Some just know that something hasn't fitted — without yet having a name for it. What they share is a mind that works differently, and a need for someone who starts from curiosity rather than correction.

Do you find yourself constantly putting everyone else first, and resenting it inside? Struggling with a phobia that's taking over your life? Exhausted by complicated family dynamics, or confidence that keeps letting you down? I work with people who feel like that. I help them to figure out what's going on for them, to feel more grounded, less stuck, and to feel more like themselves again (after we've figured out who that is, sometimes!) I aim to be warm as well as direct. I won't just let you talk endlessly - I'll challenge you. In turn, you can say whatever you need to, however you need to. I'm here for it.

I help people to overcome their past, so that they can embrace their future. So often, the things we are struggling with in life, can be linked back to our early life experiences or difficult life events, which can have a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves, our relationships with others and our overall well being. My goal is to help my clients understand and make sense of their past experiences and explore how their current difficulties may fit into this. I help them to learn new skills and break old patterns so that they can reclaim the life that they want.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
