About Russell
Counsellor (BACP), 12 years' experience. Russell Bresgall works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief and depression. He uses client-centred practice alongside other approaches to help people think through issues and make practical changes.
Russell describes the counselling relationship as central. He treats each person as the expert in their own life and offers help to reflect on feelings, past events and present choices. Sessions focus on listening, clarification and exploring what matters most to the client.
He draws on several methods to respond to different problems. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress. Mindfulness techniques are offered to support better day-to-day attention and calm. Psychodynamic and existential perspectives look at longer-term themes such as meaning, attachment and identity.
His caseload has included people dealing with addiction, ADHD, grief, relationship breakdown, career questions, anger and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also lists work with attachment difficulties, codependency, infidelity, and coping with serious illness among his focus areas.
Sessions are conducted in English and Russell accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to use the online matching questionnaire and book a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How Russell uses established approaches in online sessions
Russell commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness ideas. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the client's lead, listens closely and helps the person make sense of their experience. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and personal choices.CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing small changes. It is useful for concerns like anxiety, low mood or difficulties with sleep and concentration. Mindfulness offers simple practices to improve present-moment attention and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress and impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. Clients and counsellor decide collaboratively what to try and review how it is working.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer flexible scheduling to match everyday commitments.
