About Ruth
Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones brings four decades of experience to her counselling practice. She combines long clinical experience with research and teaching, and draws on a wide range of therapeutic ideas to help people address relationship and life challenges.
She trained originally as a social worker and completed a Master of Arts at the University of Chicago. Later she completed a PhD at the London School of Economics and wrote about the impact of hearing loss on family life.
Background and approach
She also holds a diploma in Family Therapy and is a senior accredited member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Her background includes founding and leading a charity supporting people with special needs and their families. She ran that organisation as principal clinician for 12 years and later provided diversity training for charities and agencies over the past decade.
She is an excellent lipreader and has used that skill throughout her work with people who have hearing differences. In sessions she uses an eclectic mix of methods informed by the ideas of Carl Rogers, C. G.
Jung, psychodynamic thinking and attachment-focused work. Conversations are aimed at helping someone understand repeating patterns, make sense of difficult feelings, and move to the next stage in their life. She has a long-standing interest in intercultural relationships and is writing a book on the subject.
Her approach is respectful and practical, and she works with people who want steady, thoughtful support with relationships, grief, parenting, identity and life transitions.

Online support
Finding the best approach is part of the first conversations. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to draw on, based on needs, goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as things shift and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer not to use a camera. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
