Russell Bresgall , BACP

Russell Bresgall is a psychotherapist and counsellor based in the United Kingdom who holds BACP membership and brings 12 years of experience to his practice. He works from a person-centred perspective, building trusting therapeutic relationships where clients are treated as the experts in their own lives and supported to reflect, heal, and make meaningful changes.

Russell is known for a compassionate, empathic style that aims to provide a calm space to explore emotional, physical, and relational challenges. He supports people facing a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, family problems, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. He also works with attention and concentration difficulties such as ADHD, struggles with life purpose and meaning, and problems with sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Alongside core specialties, Russell offers focused support for abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, substance misuse, impulses and impulsivity, infidelity and commitment concerns, isolation and loneliness, and career or coaching needs. He accepts clients in the UK and internationally and aims to empower individuals to find greater understanding, resilience, and direction in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Russell draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the relationship itself is central to change; this approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and find their own path through difficult situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping challenges. Mindfulness therapy supports the development of present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can aid sleep, stress, and concentration issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Russell works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods or combination of methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the approach as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy with Russell is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options allow clients to access consistent support from licensed professionals in a way that accommodates different schedules and communication styles, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
