About Ruth
Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for 40 years in the United Kingdom. She works with relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and a range of other life difficulties. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.
Ruth trained first as a social worker in the United States where she gained an MA, and later completed a PhD at the London School of Economics. Her PhD work became a book on the impact of hearing loss on family life, and she draws on that research in practice. She also holds a diploma in Family Therapy and for many years led a charity she founded for people with special needs and their families.
Her approach began with psychodynamic training and has broadened over time. She combines ideas from client-centred work, Jungian thinking, narrative techniques and systemic perspectives. In a session she helps people speak about patterns in relationships and the stories they tell about themselves.
Ruth has particular experience with intercultural couples and has carried out research and training on diversity for charities and agencies. She also offers support around attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and the impact of illness or disability on family life. She is an experienced lipreader and has used that skill in clinical and community settings.
In practice she aims to help people clarify what matters and to move forward into the next stage of life. Practical topics she addresses include communication problems, commitment issues, body image, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with change. Clients can expect a conversational, reflective style that links personal history with present concerns.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ruth draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current connections and feelings. This approach can help with relationship problems, attachment concerns and difficulties trusting others.She also uses client-centred methods which focus on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach is useful when people need space to talk through stress, anxiety or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses options with each person and agrees a way of working that suits their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or remove travel time. It also lets people take part from different locations, which can help when living abroad or juggling work and family commitments.
