About Russell
Russell Bloom is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or family difficulties. He supports those dealing with grief, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also assists with career concerns, self-esteem and coping with big life changes.
He takes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. Conversations are shaped by what matters most to the client. He adapts pace and focus to suit each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Russell draws on Existential therapy to help people examine meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. He uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. He also works with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural tools for practical problem solving.
Across his 17 years of practice he has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including anger, addictions, bipolar disorder, bereavement and family of origin problems. He pays attention to issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency and end-of-life care when these come up in sessions. Sessions can be arranged by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Russell is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works in English and does not take international clients.

Online support
How his approaches work online
Russell commonly uses Existential therapy to help people examine questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. This approach can be useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about life direction. Attachment-Based therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy, and it can help people change unhelpful interaction habits. Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different ways of working and together agree which methods suit your goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change as needs evolve. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflections or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping a consistent therapeutic process.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
