Russell Bloom , BACP

Russell Bloom is a United Kingdom based therapist with 17 years of professional experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, trauma, and grief. He holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and applies a compassionate, sensitive approach to each person he meets. Russell emphasizes respect and tailors conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s individual needs and circumstances.

He combines practical strategies with an understanding of attachment and personal history to support change and coping. Whether someone is managing loss, navigating family dynamics, or addressing longer-term patterns like addiction or low self-esteem, Russell adapts his work to the situation at hand. He recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and affirms the significance of taking that first step, offering steady, client-focused support throughout the therapeutic process.

Approaches that guide online therapy and remote support

Russell commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape present patterns, helping with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while they clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Russell works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit busy lives and differing comfort levels. These formats make it easier to connect from home or work and allow therapists and licensed professionals to provide consistent support across appointments, while tailoring the pace and style of contact to each client’s circumstances.
