Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones , BACP

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones is a seasoned therapist whose work spans relationship, family and individual counselling across many decades. She trained as a social worker at the University of Chicago and holds an MA, later completing a PhD at the London School of Economics that became a book on the impact of hearing loss on family life. Her early professional development included training with Relate and a diploma in Family Therapy, and she subsequently founded HearSay, a charity supporting individuals with special needs and their families. For 12 years she served as HearSay’s principal clinician.

Practising in the United Kingdom, she now maintains a private practice focused on individuals, couples and families navigating relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and a wide range of life changes. Initially trained in psychodynamic approaches, she works eclectically and draws on the human-centered principles of Carl Rogers, Jungian perspectives and systemic and cognitive ideas to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. She places particular emphasis on empowering people to move forward to the next stage of their lives.

Dr. Morgan-Jones has a long-standing interest in intercultural relationships, having researched this area and currently working on a related book. Over the past decade she has provided diversity training for charities and agencies and brings that experience into clinical work. She is an accredited senior member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Dr. Morgan-Jones is a Christian and is married to a priest.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones integrates psychodynamic therapy, client-centered therapy and Jungian ideas into her online work. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns affect present relationships and emotional life, which can help with long-standing relationship difficulties, attachment issues and recurring emotional patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and collaboration, supporting people to find their own strengths and make purposeful changes when coping with stress, anxiety or life transitions. Jungian therapy attends to personal meaning, symbols and life narratives, offering ways to explore identity, intimacy and deeper life questions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Morgan-Jones works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time as understanding grows, inviting clients to shape the direction of therapy together with a licensed professional.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to arrange appointments around work, family and different time zones. These options provide flexibility for ongoing support, allow continuity of care when travel or location are barriers, and make it straightforward to maintain regular contact with a therapist from wherever the client is based.
