About Russell
Russell Bresgall is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. He listens without judgement and focuses on what matters most to each person. Conversations are paced to the client, with time to reflect and consider next steps.
He has 12 years of experience and holds BACP, which is shown as his professional registration. He has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He also supports those dealing with grief, relationship strain and questions about life purpose.
Russell uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the therapeutic relationship and the client’s own goals. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thinking and practical coping skills.
Sessions are conversational and focused on the client’s priorities. He aims to help people gain clearer understanding, reduce overwhelm and make manageable changes. Practical strategies and reflection are balanced in the work.
People come with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD-related struggles, sleep or eating issues, compassion fatigue and challenges around intimacy or trust. Russell offers calm, steady support so people can explore what matters and move forward at a workable pace.
How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Russell combines Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive behavioural ideas in a way that fits online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead, which helps people feel heard and understood even when meeting remotely. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills that can be practised between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative conversation and can shift as needs change.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like worksheets, homework and mindfulness practices between sessions to support change.
