Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones, BACP

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones brings 40 years of clinical experience to her private practice in the United Kingdom, working with individuals, couples, and families facing relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, anxiety, trauma, and a broad range of emotional and life changes. Her background combines academic training and frontline practice - she trained as a social worker at the University of Chicago, earning an MA, later completing a PhD at the London School of Economics that formed the basis of a book on the impact of hearing loss on family life. She is an excellent lipreader and has long worked with people with special needs and their families, including founding and serving for 12 years as principal clinician of the charity HearSay.

Ruth also holds a diploma in Family Therapy and is a registered senior accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), the professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. Her early training was psychodynamic, and over the years she has developed an eclectic approach drawing on client-centered ideas from Carl Rogers, Jungian perspectives, cognitive insights, and systemic thinking. She has a particular interest in intercultural couples, has researched that area, and is currently writing a book on the subject. For the past decade she has provided diversity training for charities and agencies, and in therapy she focuses on empowering clients to move forward to the next stage in their lives.

Adapting Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s concerns and priorities - an approach that helps with self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions. She also uses psychodynamic therapy to explore how past experiences and relational patterns influence present difficulties, which can be useful for deeper emotional work and understanding recurring problems. In addition, Jungian therapy informs work with meaning, symbols, and personal growth, offering tools for clients seeking insight into identity and life purpose.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Morgan-Jones works with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and the methods that feel most helpful, adjusting the therapeutic style as the work evolves to fit the client’s needs.

Online therapy with Dr. Morgan-Jones is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for clients who live at a distance. These options make regular sessions more accessible and allow clients to engage in the ways that feel most comfortable while still receiving focused, professional therapeutic support.
