About Ruth

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones is a counsellor with around 40 years of clinical experience. She trained first as a social worker, completed an MA at the University of Chicago and later a PhD at the London School of Economics. She has run a charity supporting people with special needs and now works in private practice in the United Kingdom.

Her background includes work with relationship difficulties and family concerns. She has a diploma in Family Therapy and has spent many years offering training in diversity to charities and agencies. She is a BACP member, which is listed as her professional credential.

Ruth describes a flexible, person-focused style. Early psychodynamic training shaped her approach, and she now draws on ideas from Carl Rogers, C G Jung, narrative work and cognitive perspectives. In sessions she aims to help people gain more agency and move on to the next stage of life.

She has researched intercultural relationships and has a particular interest in couples from different cultural backgrounds. She has also written about the effects of hearing loss on family life and is an experienced lipreader.

Ruth currently sees individuals, couples, and families for relationship-related work and related concerns. She accepts international clients and runs a private practice, with fees that vary by location and availability and that use a subscription which can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that shape online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and intimacy. It can help when relationship fears, abandonment issues or attachment problems make connection hard.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions for issues like self-esteem, stress or midlife change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then choose or adapt methods collaboratively. That means therapy can change over time as priorities shift or new concerns emerge.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people attend from different countries if that suits their situation, and the therapist can advise which approach and session rhythm will best support the individual's needs.
