About Russell

Russell Bloom helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. He supports those facing relationship strain, grief and life changes. He also works with concerns such as anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues and career questions.

He uses a straightforward, respectful approach. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs that week. Conversations aim to be practical and honest, with time to reflect and to try new ways of coping.

Russell draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.

Background and approach

He uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s own goals at the heart of the work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. Over 17 years he has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, family difficulties and addiction.

He tailors the pace of therapy to each person, combining short-term coping skills with longer-term reflection when helpful. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely in line with the practitioner’s location in the United Kingdom.

If someone prefers a simple, conversational style with practical tools, he may be a good match.

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.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how people relate now and to try new ways of connecting in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and rhythm, giving space for the client to guide what they want to work on and at what pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be chosen when a call needs less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, writing-out feelings, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to work around schedules and to keep therapy consistent when life is busy.
