Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones, BACP

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones brings 40 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families who are facing relationship difficulties. She began her career with social work training at the University of Chicago, where she earned an MA, and later completed a PhD at the London School of Economics that formed the basis of a book on the impact of hearing loss on family life. Her long engagement with issues of hearing difference includes founding and serving for 12 years as the principal clinician of HearSay, a charity supporting people with special needs and their families, and she is an excellent lipreader.

Ruth trained initially in psychodynamic approaches and holds a diploma in Family Therapy. Over time she developed an eclectic practice informed by the person-centered ideas of Carl Rogers, Jungian perspectives, cognitive work, and systemic thinking. This blend supports her emphasis on empowering clients to move forward to the next stage of their lives. She has a particular interest in intercultural couples, has conducted research in this area, and is currently writing a book on the subject. For the past decade she has delivered diversity training for charities and agencies.

She is a registered senior accredited member of the BACP, the national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and maintains a private practice in the United Kingdom. Dr. Morgan-Jones is a Christian and is married to a priest.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current bonds. This approach helps people understand fears of abandonment, communication patterns, and how to build more secure connections with partners and family members.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, following the person-centered principles of Carl Rogers, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This style is useful for building self-esteem, coping with life changes, and encouraging personal growth.

In addition, Jungian-informed work is available for those interested in exploring deeper patterns in identity, dreams, and life narrative, which can be helpful for clients wrestling with meaning, transitions, or inner conflicts.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Morgan-Jones works collaboratively with each person to identify which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or geographic constraints. For many people these options increase accessibility and continuity of care, allowing registered professionals and therapists to support clients wherever they are.
