About Russell
Russell Bloom is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 17 years of professional experience. He supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief, and a range of mood and behavioural concerns. Russell uses straightforward, goal-focused work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives.
He keeps sessions direct and conversational. He helps people map patterns in thinking and behaviour and then tests small changes. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centred methods to ground conversations in what is happening day to day.
Russell offers help for anxiety, depression, addictions, anger and intimacy-related issues, plus life transitions and career concerns. He also works with more specific issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency and family of origin problems. People often come to him when they want concrete steps for coping and clearer ways of relating to others.
In practice he listens for recurring thoughts and then outlines simple experiments to try between sessions. He uses mindfulness techniques to build awareness and attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the person’s needs.
Russell works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Sessions are conducted in English. His approach suits people who want structured, sensible work on thinking, behaviour and relationships.
How his approaches translate to online work
Russell draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot recurring thoughts and try small behavioural experiments. CBT sessions focus on practical steps, such as testing assumptions and building routines, which suit a structured online format.He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how they affect current reactions. That work helps when addressing intimacy-related issues, family patterns and how people cope with grief. Client-centred practices keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the person in front of him and support clearer goal-setting.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to agree what to try first and review progress together. This means the method can shift if one approach is not helping as expected.
The biography does not list which online session types are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit appointments into workdays, avoid travel time, or make shorter check-ins simpler. Discussing practical arrangements at the first meeting ensures sessions fit day-to-day life and goals.
