About Kathleen
BACP. 7 years' experience. Kathleen Morgan works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, anger, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career problems, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes. She describes her practice as psychodynamic and trauma-informed, drawing on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic ideas to help people understand how they relate to themselves and others.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and follows their code of ethics. Sessions are run on a regular basis and last 45 minutes according to the original biography.
Her way of working focuses on talking through what troubles a person and noticing patterns in relationships and feelings. She may offer interpretations about what is happening in the therapeutic relationship to help a person reach deeper understanding. That means looking at past experiences and how they turn up in present behaviour and emotions.
The work can involve difficult feelings and needs steady commitment. Kathleen emphasises the importance of staying with the process to allow insights to emerge over time. Therapy is described as a process that can lead to longer lasting personal change beyond the time in sessions.
People who want a reflective, psychodynamic style of counselling and who prefer 45-minute regular sessions may find her approach aligns with their needs. Prospective clients should check current session options before booking, including how Kathleen is currently offering appointments.
How psychodynamic and trauma approaches are used online
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and patterns affect present feelings and behaviour. It uses conversation and reflection to help people notice repeating themes, and is often used for relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and persistent emotional patterns.Trauma-focused work concentrates on experiences of abuse and harm and on their emotional effects. It aims to help a person process distressing memories and reduce the ways those memories interfere with daily life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathleen will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt her approach based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The original biography states session length as 45 minutes but does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow appointments from different locations. They also allow flexible ways to check in when life is busy, such as shorter or more frequent appointments if that suits the person.
