About Ruth
Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones is a BACP registered counsellor with around 40 years' experience. She trained first as a social worker in the United States and later completed a PhD in the United Kingdom. Her work covers relationship and family concerns alongside grief, parenting, anger, stress and anxiety.
She began her career in social work and later trained with Relate in the UK. She also holds a diploma in Family Therapy and spent many years leading a charity she founded that supported people with special needs and their families.
Her early training was psychodynamic and she now draws on several approaches. She combines ideas from Carl Rogers, Jungian thinking, narrative ideas and cognitive ways of working, and she also uses systemic perspectives with couples and families.
In practice she focuses on helping individuals and couples deal with relationship difficulties and tricky transitions. She has particular experience with intercultural relationships and has carried out research and writing in that area. She also runs diversity training for charities and agencies.
She has personal experience of hearing loss and is an excellent lipreader, which can shape how she manages sessions. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted but confirm current session options before booking.
Her private practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy problems, eating and sleeping issues, self esteem, career matters, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and various attachment and care-related difficulties.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds affect trust and reactions in adult relationships and can help with anger that comes from feeling misunderstood or insecure. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client's perspective and priorities. It uses listening and reflection so people can speak through their concerns and decide what changes to try.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which ideas and methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues become clearer and priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break or sessions that avoid travel time. Some formats need less bandwidth or let a person keep their camera off, which can make conversations easier on certain days. Ask about the available formats and what will work best for your routine and needs.
