Morgan Gairell
Person-centred counsellor using mindfulness and ACT
About Morgan
Morgan Gairell is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience. They bring a calm, non-judgemental manner and aim to help people find clearer ways forward when life feels difficult. Morgan works in a person-centred way and draws on mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, and cognitive tools to suit each person.
Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and practical steps they can try between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday language.
Background and approach
Over the past decade Morgan has worked across school settings, bereavement support and independent practice on the south coast of the United Kingdom. This mix of roles means they are used to short-term and longer-term work, and to supporting people at different stages of change. Common themes Morgan helps people with include stress, anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and relationship concerns.
They also offer support around neurodiversity, LGBT issues, parenting strain, body image, trauma and work-related compassion fatigue. Practical coping strategies and pacing are often part of the plan. Morgan takes an individual approach rather than applying one fixed method.
Together with each person they look at goals and preferences, then shape sessions around those aims. The tone is warm, respectful and focused on helping people make workable, real-life changes.

How ACT, mindfulness and CBT work online
Morgan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred approaches alongside cognitive tools to help people notice what matters to them and take small, practical steps. ACT helps people clarify values and practise actions that fit those values even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship so people can talk things through and feel heard.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers straightforward techniques for spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours. Used online, these techniques are adapted into short exercises, worksheets and in-session practice that people can try between meetings. The therapist will discuss which approaches suit a person's needs and goals, and they adjust the mix as the work develops in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and seeing non-verbal cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat allows short check-ins and messaging supports flexible, ongoing contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the work focused and practical.
