About Ruth
Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones is a BACP-registered counsellor with 40 years' experience. She trained first as a social worker in Chicago and later completed a PhD at the London School of Economics. Her work covers relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting and blended family issues, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns.
She began practice after training with Relate and later gained a diploma in Family Therapy. She led a charity she founded for 12 years and published research on hearing loss and family life. Her background includes clinical work, research and training in diversity for charities and agencies.
Her style draws on several approaches. She uses client-centred ideas from Carl Rogers to listen and prioritise the person's perspective. Psychodynamic and Jungian influences inform attention to patterns and deeper meanings. Narrative techniques help people reframe their life stories.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clearer communication. She aims to help individuals sort through relationship tensions, stepfamily arrangements, co-parenting challenges and loyalty conflicts. Her clinical experience includes work with adoption and foster care, attachment issues and cultural differences in couples.
She has specialist experience with hearing loss in families and is an excellent lipreader. She has worked with people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, eating and sleeping difficulties, and a range of mood and neurodiverse concerns. She accepts international clients and offers appointments from the United Kingdom.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Her practice uses client-centred work to foreground the person's experience and priorities. This approach involves active listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them set practical goals. It is useful for relationship issues, parenting concerns and managing stress.She also draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to notice recurring patterns and symbolic themes in someone’s life. These perspectives can help when patterns of communication or old attachment dynamics keep reappearing in relationships, including in stepfamily situations.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the options and agree which methods to try based on what the client wants and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support international clients who are in different locations, while the therapist and client agree practical arrangements that suit their schedules.
