Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy works
Russell commonly uses client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based techniques in his practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic relationship that helps clients explore their experiences and find their own solutions - it is well suited to people seeking support with personal growth, relationship challenges, or emotional processing. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and support practical coping strategies. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and difficulties with concentration.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Russell works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the work as progress unfolds so that therapy remains relevant and supportive.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access registered professionals from different locations and to continue therapy when life, work or travel might otherwise make in-person sessions difficult.
