About Russell
Russell Bloom is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 17 years of experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, trauma, depression, addictions and issues around intimacy and anger. He also supports concerns linked to self-esteem, career change, bipolar disorder and coping with life changes.
Russell uses a mix of practical talking methods and reflective work. Sessions focus on clear, everyday language and on helping people spot patterns that keep them stuck. He draws on client-centred listening to explore what matters to the person, and on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety or low mood.
He also uses attachment-based ideas to examine how early relationships affect current closeness and trust. Existential perspectives are brought in when people want to look at meaning, choice or life direction. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with emotional regulation and grounding during stressful moments.
In sessions the therapist balances short-term coping strategies with space to understand longer-term patterns. People can expect focused conversation, practical steps to try between sessions, and review of what is or is not helping. Costs vary by location and services use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect present-day closeness and trust. Online sessions can use this approach to notice how people seek connection, cope with conflict and respond to rejection, and then practise different ways of relating.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgement. In remote sessions this means the counsellor reflects what is said, helps people name their priorities and builds sessions around the issues they bring.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety and low mood. Practically, this involves setting small experiments to try between sessions and reviewing the results together during video or phone meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a mix of methods to try. That collaborative decision is reviewed as things change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises for the screen and suggest practical home activities to continue progress between meetings.
