Morgan Gairell, BACP

Morgan Gairell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Morgan draws on person-centred and mindfulness-based ways of working, adapting sessions to each person’s needs. They bring ten years of experience and a calm, steady presence to conversations about difficult feelings and life changes.

In appointments Morgan uses a flexible, integrative approach. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on simple, practical steps that can ease distress. Techniques include helping people notice unhelpful patterns, explore values, and practise grounding or breathing skills from mindfulness.

Morgan has a particular interest in supporting people from LGBT communities and those who are neurodivergent. They combine work in schools, grief counselling and independent practice, including delivering mindfulness courses, which informs their approach to everyday struggles.

Sessions aim to create a respectful space where clients can talk through grief, anxiety, relationship concerns, addictions, trauma and other issues. Morgan also supports people with parenting stress, career questions, body image and the practical impact of long-term illness.

Therapy with Morgan tends to be collaborative and paced to the person. They help set clear goals together and use methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred practice. This helps clients build small, manageable changes into daily life.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Morgan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based practice alongside a person-centred way of working. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match their values, which can be useful for depression, anxiety and life changes. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, and this often helps with stress, grief and sleeping difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Morgan works collaboratively to find methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Early sessions focus on what the person needs and on trying manageable steps, so the approach can shift as progress is made.

Online sessions can fit into busy lives by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular appointments. Please confirm which session formats are available with Morgan before booking, as specific options are not listed here. The practical benefits include fitting work around school or job commitments, keeping continuity of care if travelling, and using guided mindfulness exercises during sessions to practise skills between meetings.
