Russell Bloom

Russell Bloom is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship tension, grief and end-of-life concerns. He also supports people dealing with depression, addiction, trauma and family problems. Russell aims to offer a calm, respectful space where someone can speak honestly and be heard.

He works in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs most, and he adjusts pace and focus as things change. Russell uses practical techniques alongside talking therapy to help people manage difficult feelings and make clearer decisions.

Russell draws on approaches such as attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. He also uses client-centred methods to keep the person's goals central, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are woven in when they suit the person’s concerns.

Across 17 years of practice he has supported people through grief, compassion fatigue and the stresses that come with major life changes. He describes his style as sensitive and compassionate, and aims to tailor each plan to the individual.

Russell holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works in English and does not take international clients at this time.

How his approaches shape online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating. It can help people understand why they feel anxious in close relationships and learn new patterns of connection. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s pace, which can be useful when someone wants space to process grief or make sense of life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Russell will discuss different options and help decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made. For practical arrangements, please confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also helps people keep therapy going during stressful periods or when coping with symptoms that make leaving home difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these methods to support clients at a distance, and the choice of approach and schedule will be agreed together at the start of therapy.
