About Russell

Russell Morrow is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family strains, depression and life transitions. He works from a respectful, person-centred stance and encourages people to use their own strengths to move forward. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Russell believes the person in the room knows their story best. Sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what matters and helping people make sense of difficult feelings. He aims to create a steady space where concerns can be spoken about without judgement.

His approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That means attention to emotions in relationships and careful, empathic listening in each session. Practical steps may emerge from conversations, but the pace is set by the person seeking help.

Russell has three years of practice experience working with a range of challenges. He has supported people with attachment concerns, blended family issues, bereavement linked to illness, chronic health problems, substance difficulties and separation or divorce.

If someone is unsure how therapy might help, he suggests starting with a short matching questionnaire and an initial booking. From there, timing and goals can be discussed together.

How Client-Centred and Emotion-Focused Work Translate Online

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and understanding. It prioritises the person’s perspective and supports people to make sense of their feelings at their own pace. This approach can help when someone feels stuck or unsure how to move forward.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions in relationships and on how attachment patterns shape interactions. It can help people who are struggling with connection, trust or recurring relationship patterns by exploring feelings and moments that matter.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Conversations about goals, pace and what feels helpful happen together rather than being imposed.

If you are thinking about online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into busy schedules, eliminate travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it easier to keep continuity of care across locations. The practical aim is to make therapy manageable alongside everyday life, with choices about timing and session length agreed at the start.
