About Morgan
Morgan Gairell is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience. Morgan works in a calm, person-centred way and brings mindfulness into sessions. They aim to help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues to feel more grounded and able to cope.
Morgan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred practice. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on practical steps to reduce distress.
Background and approach
Short exercises and mindfulness practices are used alongside talking work to build new habits. Much of Morgan's work has involved supporting people from LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. They also have experience in bereavement support, school-based therapy and running mindfulness courses on the south coast of the UK.
That mix shapes a flexible, down-to-earth style. In sessions Morgan offers a listening presence and clear collaborative plans. Conversations are guided by the person's values and immediate needs, whether that means coping strategies, work on self-esteem, or managing difficult emotions.
The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes. People can expect sessions that balance empathetic listening with realistic tools. Morgan helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and build routines that support wellbeing.
The work is paced to suit each person's life and goals.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In an online session this can mean setting simple practice tasks between meetings, tracking patterns and trying behavioural experiments suited to daily life.
Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention skills to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. Sessions include short guided practices and reminders that can be used during stressful moments.
Morgan treats finding the right approach as a shared process. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to fit the person's goals, preferences and everyday routines. Together they agree on steps to try and review what helps most over time.
Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, written reflection or people who prefer not to speak on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
