More about Ruth
- 33 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Ruth is a great therapist, well experienced and pays attention to her clients. I always look forward to talking her. Highly recommend her.
Ruth is very kind and understanding, as well as experienced. She listened attentively and suggested very practical tips to deal with my situation. I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking help in understanding themselves or their significant other.
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.
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.
Excellent.
Dr Ruth is highly experienced, kind and insightful. Highly recommended.
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.
Dr Morgan-Jones has been able to hold a mirror to my challenges, offering guidance, clarity and helpful tools not only throughout our sessions but also through message communications in between. She respects my perspective and has a focus on my needs, as well as being a thoughtful sounding board for my concerns, clearing the way for a less confusing path forward in my journey.
So far my sessions with Dr Morgan-Jones have been very helpful. I have made a lot of progress in a short time.
