Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones, BACP

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones brings four decades of practice to her counselling work. She trained first as a social worker in the United States and later completed a PhD at the London School of Economics. She is a BACP member and has run a charity supporting people with special needs and their families. Her background includes family therapy study and long experience with relationship issues. She has worked with individuals, couples, and families who are facing communication breakdowns, grief, parenting strain, or major life changes. She also has a particular interest in intercultural relationships and has researched that area. Ruth’s style draws on several counselling traditions. She began with psychodynamic training and now uses an eclectic mix influenced by Carl Rogers, C G Jung, narrative ways of working, and systemic thinking. In practice she aims to help people understand patterns, tell their stories differently, and find practical next steps. She has also focused on hearing loss and family life in her research and writing, and is an experienced lipreader. For many years she led a charity that provided direct clinical work and support services, and she still teaches on diversity topics to charities and agencies. Ruth works to empower people so they can move into a new phase of life. That can mean clarifying values, repairing communication, or managing anxiety and stress. Her long experience means she can offer steady support through complex relationship and personal issues.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who struggle with closeness, trust, or recurrent relationship conflicts by looking at connection styles and repair. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own experience and choices, offering a respectful space to talk things through and build confidence. Jungian or psychodynamic ideas help uncover recurring themes and unconscious patterns that influence feelings and behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, adapting the approach as goals and circumstances develop. This is a shared process where your needs and preferences guide the direction of therapy.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support regular continuity of care when day-to-day life or location makes in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical options and match session rhythm to what will help you progress.
