About Ruth
Counsellor and BACP member Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones has worked in counselling for 40 years. She practices in the United Kingdom and focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, stress and related issues. She also lists work with trauma, LGBT concerns, eating and sleeping problems, depression, bipolar and ADHD among her areas of interest.
Ruth trained first as a social worker in the United States, gaining a Master of Arts, and later completed a PhD at the London School of Economics. The PhD became a book on the impact of hearing loss on family life. She also holds a diploma in Family Therapy and has run a charity supporting people with special needs and their families.
Her practice draws on several approaches. Early psychodynamic training sits alongside client-centred ideas from Carl Rogers, narrative and Jungian elements, and some cognitive and systemic work. She describes this as an eclectic method that adapts to the issues people bring to sessions.
Ruth has particular experience with intercultural relationships and has undertaken research and writing on that topic. She has provided diversity training to charities and agencies for the last decade. Her clinical background includes many years working with relationship difficulties in individual and couple work.
She is an experienced lipreader and has researched hearing loss and its effects on family life. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape emotional responses and close relationships. It can help with difficulties in trust, communication and intimacy by looking at patterns of relating and what feels safe in relationships.Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the work and emphasises listening and understanding without direction. It helps people who need space to reflect on feelings and make their own decisions about change.
Jungian Therapy explores personal meaning, symbols and life themes to deepen self-understanding. It can be useful for people who want to look at recurring patterns, identity questions or mid-life change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the different methods and agree a way forward with the client based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and can reduce commute time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and options for not using video if that better suits someone’s circumstances.
