About Russell
Russell Bloom is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, depression and problems with addiction. He writes in a direct, respectful way and aims to make first steps feel less daunting.
Russell works from a place of sensitivity and compassion. He listens first, then agrees on a way forward with each person. Conversations and tasks are tailored to the issues you bring, rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
In sessions he combines practical work with discussion. That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, practising awareness and grounding, or looking at how early attachments shape present choices. The aim is to help people find clearer ways to cope day to day.
He has 17 years of experience in the field and holds BACP registration, which is noted as a professional affiliation. His background includes supporting people through trauma, bereavement, life changes and workplace strain. Russell offers a calm, straightforward approach suitable for those wanting a working plan and steady support.
He encourages honest, plain conversation so problems can be named and tackled. The focus is practical steps that can make life feel more manageable.
How Russell uses proven approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can be useful for people who notice recurring trust or closeness problems. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own priorities and pace, offering a respectful space to talk and make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small, practical changes to behaviour and thinking.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. Russell will talk through your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest ways forward. That decision is collaborative and can change as your needs shift over time.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people find practical ways to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family or health commitments.
