About Russell
Russell Bresgall is a BACP psychotherapist and counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and depression, and also supports those dealing with anger, relationship strain and concentration difficulties. Sessions are delivered in English and Russell accepts international clients.
Russell uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the centre of therapy. He aims to build a trusting working relationship and listens for what matters to each person. That approach is intended to help people reflect, understand their patterns, and consider practical steps forward.
He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with thinking patterns that feed anxiety, low mood and anger. Mindfulness ideas are used to help with present-moment awareness and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming. Psychodynamic and existential thinking are available too, for people who want to look at deeper life questions and patterns that repeat over time.
Russell has supported people with addiction, ADHD, bereavement and relationship difficulties, as well as issues around self-esteem, intimacy and career decisions. He describes practical work that looks at both immediate coping and longer-term insight, depending on what the client needs.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Russell blends approaches for online work
Russell commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a steady, respectful relationship where the client’s experience guides the work; it helps when someone needs space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking patterns and practical steps - it is helpful for anxiety, anger and mood problems that respond to skill-building and new habits.He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and grounding exercises. Mindfulness helps when emotions feel intense or when sleep and concentration are affected. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process, and he works with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That is a collaborative decision, reviewed as therapy progresses.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or longer check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work while travelling or living outside the therapist’s immediate area. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods used in person to remote sessions to focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
