About Ruth
Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones is a counsellor with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and has worked in therapeutic roles for 40 years. She draws on a long career that began in social work and spans clinical practice, charity leadership and research. Her listed concerns include relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, stress, anxiety, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar and depression, ADHD and coping with life changes.
She trained originally in social work and later completed a PhD at the London School of Economics. That research led to a book on the impact of hearing loss on family life and supports her particular knowledge about communication and hearing-related challenges. She founded and ran a charity for people with special needs and their families, and led it as principal clinician for 12 years.
Her working style blends several approaches. She cites attachment-based thinking, client-centred ideas from Carl Rogers, Jungian perspectives and psychodynamic understanding, together with narrative and trauma-focused elements. In practice she combines these to address relationship patterns, attachment problems and the stories people tell about themselves.
Dr Morgan-Jones says she focuses on helping people move to the next stage of their lives. She has experience with intercultural relationships and has carried out research in that area. For the last decade she has delivered training in diversity to charities and agencies across the UK.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English. She is a registered senior accredited member of the BACP and continues to see adults for individual and relationship difficulties.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people change repeated ways of relating that cause strain. Client-centred work draws on Carl Rogers' ideas and offers a listening, non-directive stance that supports people to find their own solutions and clarity.These approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, life circumstances and preferences, and together they will decide which ideas and methods to focus on. Finding the best fit is part of the early sessions rather than something decided in advance.
Confirm the specific formats available before booking, since the biography does not list session types. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options for people who cannot travel easily. It also makes it easier to work with people living in other countries. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt attachment and client-centred methods to the online setting so the practical work of exploring relationship patterns and personal stories can continue across distance.
