Experienced counsellor focused on relationships and life changes
Book with RuthAbout Ruth
Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones brings four decades of clinical experience to her practice. She trained as a social worker in the United States and later completed a PhD at the London School of Economics, and she is a BACP member.
She works with people who are facing relationship strains, grief, stress, and a wide range of life challenges including issues related to LGBT identity and trauma. Ruth began her career in social work and later trained with Relate in the UK.
Background and approach
She also holds a diploma in Family Therapy and ran a charity she founded that supported people with special needs and their families. That work informs how she responds to complex family situations today. Her early training was psychodynamic, and she now draws on several approaches.
She uses client-centred ideas from Carl Rogers to keep sessions centred on the person's experience. Jungian and narrative ideas help people make sense of life stories and personal symbols. In sessions she aims to help people feel understood and to move to the next stage in their lives.
She will listen closely, offer reflections, and work collaboratively to identify small, practical steps forward. She also has experience supporting intercultural partnerships and has researched this area. Ruth has experience teaching diversity to charities and agencies, and she is writing a book on intercultural couples.
She is based in the United Kingdom and offers work in English, with international clients accepted. Practical arrangements and session options should be confirmed before booking.

How Ruth’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and improve trust and connection. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, emphasising listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. Jungian and narrative ideas are used to look at personal stories and recurring symbols, which can help with meaning-making and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt methods as the relationship develops. That collaborative process helps identify whether a reflective, story-focused or more practical direction fits best.
The source biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and making scheduling more flexible. It can also make it easier to continue therapy while living abroad, since international clients are accepted. Practical arrangements such as session length and timing can be arranged to suit each person's daily routine.
