About Morgan

Morgan Gairell is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. Morgan works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and issues commonly faced by young adults such as career strain, relationships and life changes. They also work with LGBT people and neurodivergent clients, and offer coaching-style support alongside counselling approaches.

Morgan trained in Person-Centred Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches, and commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. They aim to match method to the person, using practical strategies and reflective conversation. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises and straightforward tools for managing anxiety, mood and coping skills.

Work includes school therapy, bereavement counselling and private practice on the south coast of the UK. Morgan has facilitated mindfulness courses and supports people through bereavement, relationship difficulties, addiction and stressful life transitions. They have also received accreditation with Pink Therapy for work with LGBT clients.

In sessions Morgan talks through immediate problems and longer-term patterns. They balance active techniques with listening and space for people to make sense of their experiences. Practical tasks between sessions are offered when useful, such as behaviour experiments, short mindfulness practices or writing prompts.

People often come for help with feeling behind, starting a first job, moving away from home, or coping after university. Morgan encourages steady, manageable steps and clear strategies rather than grand plans. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Approaches you might use together online

Morgan commonly works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches alongside client-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and build steadier focus. It is often useful for stress, sleep problems and emotion regulation. Client-centred work focuses on listening and clarifying what matters to the person, creating space for them to make their own decisions.

Finding the right combination is part of the process. Morgan will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. They work collaboratively, reviewing what helps and adjusting the approach over time.

The practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into study or work schedules and reducing travel time. Different session styles suit different needs, for example shorter check-ins can be easier during a busy week and audio-only calls can use less bandwidth. Confirm the specific session formats on booking to make sure they fit daily life and routines.
