About Russell

Russell Bloom is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties. He also supports people facing grief, depression, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He speaks English and brings 17 years of professional experience to his practice.

Russell aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. He focuses on tailoring conversations and a plan to each person's needs. Sessions are practical and centred on what the client wants to address now.

Background and approach

His approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. He uses client-centred methods to keep the client's priorities at the heart of the work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, existential thinking and mindfulness tools are also available when they fit the goal.

In sessions Russell helps people name patterns, try small changes and build new ways of coping. He offers coaching-style support when clients want practical steps alongside emotional processing. Work can include managing anger, improving self-esteem or coping with major life changes.

Russell is registered with the BACP, which is recorded as part of his professional details. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them best.

Ways of working Russell names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence present feelings and reactions. Online work can help people notice patterns in relationships and try different ways of responding in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the client's lead, offering a non-judgemental space to talk and to decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and test small behavioural changes to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a way forward together. That collaborative process may combine elements from different methods to match what each person needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are close to an in-person meeting and work well for more detailed conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, short coaching-style support or regular prompts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
