About Ruth
Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones brings four decades of experience to her therapeutic work. She trained first as a social worker in the United States and later completed a PhD at the London School of Economics.
She is a senior accredited member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and runs a independent practice in the United Kingdom. Her background includes founding a charity that supported people with special needs and leading it as principal clinician for 12 years.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several traditions. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred ideas alongside Jungian and narrative perspectives where helpful. She aims to empower people so they can take the next step in their lives.
Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and on practical ways to change them. Ruth has a long history of work with relationship difficulties and related concerns. She helps people with grief, parenting, anger, stress, anxiety, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, career questions, depression and bipolar mood concerns.
She also supports people facing trauma and abuse and those navigating adoption, abandonment or blended family challenges. Her practice also addresses neurodiversity, caregiving strain, chronic illness and body image issues. She has a special interest in intercultural relationships and has researched and written on that topic.
Ruth also provides training on diversity for charities and agencies. Sessions are offered in English and she sees international clients. She works with individuals, couples and people concerned about family relationships, tailoring approaches to each person's needs.

Approaches for online healing and relationship work
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process difficult past events and reduce their ongoing impact. It can help when memories, flashbacks or emotional reactions make daily life or relationships hard to manage.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people recognise repeating patterns and build more supported ways of relating to partners, children and others.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own experience and pace. The therapist offers empathy and understanding while people find their own solutions and strengthen self-direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ruth collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the focus as needs change, keeping the client involved in those decisions.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write through issues or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
