About Morgan
Counsellor and BACP member Morgan Gairell has ten years' experience supporting people across a wide range of issues. Morgan works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and depression, plus concerns such as addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. They are based on the south coast of the United Kingdom and offer help in English, including to international clients.
Morgan trained in person-centred therapy and mindfulness-based approaches and describes their practice as integrative. Sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness techniques to suit the person in front of them. Morgan aims to listen carefully and build a working relationship that makes it easier to talk about difficult topics.
Alongside private practice Morgan works as a school therapist and a bereavement counsellor, and they run mindfulness courses. This mix of settings shapes how they work in one-to-one conversations, with a focus on clear strategies alongside reflective talking.
Typical sessions include practical steps for stress, skills drawn from CBT for mood and sleep, and mindfulness exercises to reduce unhelpful rumination. Morgan also offers exploratory work around identity, attachment and intimacy, and can discuss issues linked to adoption, caregiving and cancer.
People who choose Morgan can expect straightforward, short sessions that look at current problems and manageable next steps. To begin, the site asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How Morgan uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness in online counselling
Morgan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take small actions that matter to them. ACT can help when avoidance and worry get in the way of everyday life.They also use elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical changes to mood, sleep and routine. Mindfulness work is offered as simple exercises for grounding and reducing repetitive thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Morgan will talk with clients about what feels most useful and adapt techniques according to the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at making sessions relevant and manageable.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and removing the need to travel. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are available. Online work can make it easier to continue therapy if life circumstances change, and it allows the same methods described above to be used via remote sessions.
