Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones , BACP

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones brings four decades of experience to her counselling practice. She trained first as a social worker with a Master of Arts from the University of Chicago 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 practice focuses on relationship concerns. She helps people with grief, parenting stress, anger, anxiety and depression. She also supports people facing issues with intimacy, body image, eating and sleeping, and career changes. Women’s issues are among the areas she lists as a focus.

Ruth draws on several approaches to therapy. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at early patterns that affect current relationships. She works in a client-centred way that prioritises the person's experience and pace. She also brings psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives and uses narrative methods when helpful.

Practical problems such as chronic illness, caregiver strain, adoption and foster-care matters, and the effects of ageing are also part of her work. She has a long record of training in diversity and has researched intercultural relationships. For many clients she aims to strengthen coping skills and support the next life step.

Sessions may include discussion of past experiences, practical coping strategies, and exploring recurring patterns. Her experience includes leadership roles in charities and clinical work that centred on families and people with hearing loss. She also offers online and remote session formats in English for national and international clients.

Approach and online options for relationship and life work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape present relationships and emotional responses. It can help when trust, closeness or recurring hurt keep getting in the way of connection. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and pace, offering empathic listening and support so people can find their own solutions and next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss aims, try different ways of working, and agree a plan that fits each person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as understanding grows.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible, brief exchanges. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and travel while keeping therapy consistent.
