Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones is an experienced counsellor with four decades of practice. She brings a long career in relationship and family work to each session.

She is a BACP member and draws on varied approaches to help people move forward. Ruth began her professional life as a social worker and later completed postgraduate study that led to a PhD on hearing loss and family life. She founded a charity offering services to people with special needs and ran it as principal clinician for 12 years.

Background and approach

She also holds a diploma in Family Therapy and has spent many years working with relationship difficulties. Her background includes psychotherapy, research and training. She has worked with people facing grief, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, and stress related to caregiving and illness.

She also supports those dealing with parenting, intimacy, communication issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and identity and self-esteem concerns. Ruth uses an eclectic practice that draws on Attachment-Based ideas, client-centred principles, Jungian thought, narrative and psychodynamic perspectives. In sessions she aims to help people understand patterns, find new meanings and take practical steps toward change.

She places attention on empowerment and practical next steps when working with individuals. She has a long-standing interest in intercultural relationships and has researched and taught on diversity for charities and agencies. Ruth works in English and accepts international clients, offering a blend of experience, research background and compassion.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape later relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and try new ways of connecting with others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and gives space for them to lead the conversation, which can be especially helpful for building trust and self-understanding over video or phone.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as trust grows. This shared decision-making helps tailor the work to the person rather than applying a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow visual cues and fuller interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still engaging with psychodynamic, attachment or client-centred work.
