Kathleen Morgan, BACP

Kathleen Morgan is a qualified counsellor whose formal training as a therapist began in 2002 and continued over five years. She practices psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches, therapies that trace their origins to Sigmund Freud and other early psychoanalysts and that aim to explore the deeper patterns shaping a person’s thoughts, feelings, and relationships. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she works within a recognised professional code of ethics and professional standards.

Kathleen creates a respectful, empathic space in which listening and compassion are central. Sessions are scheduled on a regular basis and last 45 minutes, with the pace and structure tailored to each individual. In the therapeutic relationship she may reflect on what appears to be happening in the working alliance as a way of helping clients gain clearer insight into how they relate to themselves and to others.

Talking about difficult experiences can be challenging and sometimes painful, and Kathleen frames the work as a collaborative process that asks for commitment to stay with it. Her aim is to help clients reach deeper levels of self-understanding and to support changes that can continue to benefit them beyond the time spent in therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It helps identify needs that may feel unmet, supports work with abandonment and attachment issues, and can improve intimacy and communication in relationships.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores unconscious patterns, past experiences, and recurring themes that shape behaviour and feelings in the present. It is useful for people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, and other long-standing emotional challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and on reducing the ongoing impact of trauma-related symptoms such as flashbacks, dissociation, or heightened reactivity. It aims to help people process distressing experiences and build more adaptive coping responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Kathleen will help clients and therapists consider goals, preferences, and presenting concerns together to identify which methods are most likely to be helpful and to adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling clients to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility needs. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing therapists to tailor the format to each client’s needs.
