About Russell
Russell Bloom helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. He also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and career pressures. Russell names compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns and bipolar disorder among his areas of work.
He works in English and practises across several therapy styles to suit different needs. Russell keeps conversations straightforward and kind. He tailors sessions to the person in front of him rather than applying one fixed method.
Background and approach
He aims to make the first steps less daunting and to build practical ways to cope with day-to-day problems. Across his 17 years of experience, Russell has helped people navigate family problems, separation and bereavement. He also offers support around addiction, hoarding and end-of-life matters.
He pays attention to how early attachments and life stories shape current difficulties. Russell draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. He uses these approaches to help people notice patterns, try different responses and reduce distress.
He also integrates existential and narrative perspectives when people want to explore meaning and identity. Sessions are adapted to each person’s goals and pace. Conversations may focus on practical tools, exploring past influences or working with thoughts and behaviours.
Russell aims to offer a respectful, steady space where people can name problems and test new ways of coping.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement, helping the client to find their own solutions and gain clarity about what matters. This approach is useful for people seeking acceptance and a steady, respectful space to talk.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In online sessions this often means setting practical tasks, trying different behaviours between meetings and learning skills to reduce anxiety or manage mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single model. Together they will review what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit those with lower bandwidth, and text-based messaging or live chat provide shorter check-ins or a written way to reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still accessing registered or accredited professionals and their support.
