Russell combines client-centred work with approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they suit a person’s needs. Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, try new ways of coping and build clearer goals. The emphasis is on practical change alongside exploring personal meaning.
People come to him for both short-term problem solving and longer-term exploration. He also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, codependency and impulsivity. His background includes supporting clients with ADHD, neurodiversity and recovery from substance use.

How his approaches translate to online work
Russell often uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in his practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so people can explore what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours, helping people identify unhelpful patterns and try practical coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Russell will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. He treats the choice as collaborative and reviews how approaches are working as therapy progresses.
