Russell Bresgall, BACP

Russell Bresgall is a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor from England with 12 years of professional experience. He works from a person-centered perspective, offering a warm, empathic presence and a nonjudgmental space where people can explore emotional, physical, and relational challenges. He emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change, listening carefully and supporting clients as they reflect, heal, and consider new ways of living.

Russell is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. His practice has supported people facing a wide range of difficulties, including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and loss, ADHD and neurodiversity concerns, and questions about life purpose and concentration.

He approaches each person as the expert on their own experience and collaborates with clients to build understanding and make positive changes. Seeking outside help can feel daunting, and Russell aims to offer steady support and practical guidance for those taking the first steps toward change and greater wellbeing. He looks forward to meeting prospective clients and exploring how therapy can help them move forward.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Russell commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and helping clients explore their feelings and values at their own pace; it is useful for emotional distress, relationship concerns, and finding clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Russell collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the way he works as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with Russell is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work and to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is difficult, while still engaging with a licensed professional and a consistent therapeutic relationship.
