My name is Morgan and I am a BACP registered therapist with experience in working with a wide range of issues. My training is in Person-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Approaches. However, I always try to work in an integrative way, so as to meet the needs of my clients on an individual basis. I have 8 years of experience and enjoy working with a diverse clientele, with a particular passion for those within the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. I have also recently received accreditation with Pink Therapy, which means that my work has met their high standards of expertise in supporting LGBTQ people.
I am based on the south coast of the UK, where I work as a school therapist, bereavement counsellor and manage my private practice, which includes seeing clients and facilitating mindfulness courses.
My aim is to provide a safe space and relationship that inspires inner healing and personal development, helping people to overcome whatever difficulties and concerns they may have. I believe that we all have within us the ability to live our lives fully. However, our paths are often not as clear or straightforward as we would hope. I see the process of therapy as a way of opening up these moments, allowing the light to illuminate what was once hidden or out of reach.
I am extremely passionate about mental health and wellbeing, so it would be a privilege to be a part of your journey as you find your way through whatever circumstances that you currently need support with.

Morgan has been truly amazing. He has listened and spoken me through difficult times while making me feel comfortable, appreciated and heard. I truly can't thank him enough for all he has done.
