About me

I have been counselling individuals, couples, children, and families for over thirty years. I initially trained as a social worker at the University of Chicago where I received an MA. I married my English husband in 1967. I came to the UK in 1970, had two children and trained with Relate (a charity providing relationship support throughout the United Kingdom). As a mature student, I returned to university and did a Ph.D. on the impact of hearing loss on family life at the LSE (London School of Economics). This gave meaning to my own hearing loss. I am an excellent lipreader. I also have a diploma in Family Therapy. For 12 years, I was the principal clinician of a charity (HearSay) that I founded for individuals with special needs and their families. Currently, I have a private practice where the focus is individuals, couples, and families who have experienced adversity. I was initially trained psychodynamically. Today I see myself as having an eclectic approach where I draw upon understandings from Carl Rogers, CG Jung, cognitive therapy, and systemic work. When working with individuals, I am particularly concerned to empower them and help them move on to the next stage in their lives. Along the way, they are likely to obtain insight and understandings from past experiences. I have a particular interest in cross-cultural, disability, gender, and religious issues.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Ruth Alice Morgan-Jones. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Dr Morgan Jones is an excellent listener and synthesiser and takes a genuine interest and curiosity in me, to help me get to the bottom of things.

She is wise and well-read in the psycho-analysts. She gets right into the session straight away which allows you to make the most of the time, and can be flexible in her style of approaching discussion. Therapy has been a pleasure so far.

Ruth is extremely professional and patient and seems genuinely invested in being there for people and healing internal wounds without judgement. This allowed me to reveal my true self that I am generally afraid to show anyone. Probably due to her many years of experience or extensive knowledge, Ruth has an uncanny ability to know about things that may have happened that I have not mentioned yet. Ruth is very good at what she does.

Ruth is a kind-hearted counselor who offers her wealth of knowledge regarding familial and romantic relationships, career advice, life decisions, navigating an expatriate lifestyle abroad, and her personal words of wisdom from her own life experiences and years of experiencing counseling adults. I highly recommend her service.

Incredibly astute questioning and analysis of the situation along with great book recommendations. I am really enjoying working with Dr. Ruth and feeling like so much progress has been made after just a handful of sessions so far.
