Russell Bloom

Russell Bloom offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss. He also helps people managing depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem and career pressures. He works with those facing bipolar challenges, major life changes and compassion fatigue. Russell practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Russell aims for a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. He listens first and adapts what happens next to each person's needs. Conversations focus on what is most pressing and practical steps that feel doable. He keeps language plain and avoids jargon so people can use what they learn in everyday life.

His background spans 17 years of professional practice and he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience informs how he handles complex issues like grief, family conflict and addiction. He combines long-term listening with tools to manage symptoms when needed.

Russell draws on several therapeutic approaches depending on the situation. He uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns, client-centred work to keep sessions person-led, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and existential thinking also appear when they suit a client's goals.

Sessions are built around your priorities. Early meetings focus on what matters to you now and on small, achievable changes. Russell encourages open conversation about goals, and he adjusts pace and focus as progress is made. If you want practical help and calm, clear guidance, he aims to provide both.
