About Russell
Russell Bresgall is a psychotherapist and counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people work through difficult emotions and life challenges. He holds BACP registration and brings 12 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. Russell aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and understood.
He draws on several ways of working to suit each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and actions.
Background and approach
Mindfulness exercises help with tension, sleep and managing strong emotions. Psychodynamic ideas can uncover long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. Russell has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and low self-esteem.
He also supports people dealing with career uncertainty, life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and dealing with infidelity. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Russell aims to help people recognise patterns, try small changes and build coping strategies that feel manageable. He pays attention to what matters most to each person and adapts his approach as things progress. Russell offers appointments from the United Kingdom and works with people in English.
He accepts international clients and uses formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support
He also uses mindfulness strategies to help manage stress, improve sleep and reduce reactivity by practising simple attention exercises during sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods as progress is made so the approach fits the person and their situation.
Online therapy with Russell is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people mirror face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be useful for brief check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care.
