Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones
Experienced counsellor for relationship and life changes
About Ruth
Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones brings four decades of professional experience to her counselling work. She trained originally as a social worker in the United States and later completed a doctorate at the London School of Economics.
Ruth holds a BACP accreditation, a diploma in Family Therapy, and has run a charity supporting people with special needs and their relatives. Her background includes research and writing on how hearing loss affects family life, and she is an excellent lipreader.
Background and approach
Ruth has also delivered diversity training for charities and agencies for the past ten years. She is currently preparing a book on intercultural relationships. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches drawn from attachment theory, client-centred practice, Jungian ideas, narrative work, and psychodynamic thinking.
Conversations are aimed at helping people notice patterns, name difficulties, and find practical ways to move forward. She focuses on empowering individuals to take the next step in their lives. Ruth pays attention to culture, identity, and the impact of life changes such as grief, caregiving pressures, illness, or career shifts.
She also supports people dealing with relationship strains, parenting concerns, anxiety, depression, bipolar issues, and trauma and abuse. Her additional interests include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and the challenges of ageing. She works with people who want thoughtful, experienced guidance and a therapist who listens closely.
Sessions aim to be plainspoken and steady, with an emphasis on practical progress and clearer choices.

How Ruth’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment‑based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current worries. It can help with relationship strain, attachment issues, grief, and parenting concerns.Client‑centred practice focuses on empathic listening and the client’s own goals. The therapist offers a calm, non‑judgemental space to talk things through and to build confidence in decision making.
Psychodynamic work explores recurring patterns and unconscious influences that shape feelings and behaviour. This approach can be useful for people dealing with longstanding mood difficulties, identity questions, or repeated relationship problems.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your priorities, try different ways of working, and decide together what helps most for your goals and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check‑ins or when you want to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family, or caring responsibilities.
