About Morgan

Morgan Gairell is a BACP counsellor with 10 years of experience working across a wide range of personal and mental health concerns. Morgan lists stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues among their main areas, and also supports people facing addiction, ADHD and career or parenting strain. They practise from the south coast of the United Kingdom and work with clients in English.

Morgan uses a practical, person-focused style in sessions. They draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and client-centred approaches. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and test small, manageable changes in thinking and behaviour.

Their background includes school-based counselling, bereavement work and running mindfulness groups, plus a private practice. Over a decade of work has included supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent people and addressing concerns such as attachment, adoption and foster care, and body image.

In practice Morgan offers direct conversation, guided exercises and short skills work between sessions. They pay attention to patterns that keep problems going and look for straightforward alternatives people can try in daily life. Progress is reviewed regularly and the approach can shift as goals change.

Morgan describes therapy as collaborative. They aim to help people notice what’s getting in the way, try different responses and build on what helps. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How CBT, ACT and mindfulness work in online sessions

Morgan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behaviour. CBT focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and shift low mood.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used alongside CBT to clarify values and support actions that matter even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centred elements mean sessions include open listening and reflection so people can set their own priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Morgan will discuss goals and preferences and choose techniques collaboratively. That might mean more skills practice some weeks and values-focused work in others, depending on what the person wants to achieve.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fold therapy into everyday life by removing travel and making shorter check-ins possible around work or family commitments. It can also allow quieter, lower-bandwidth contact when camera time is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of methods to fit practical needs, and Morgan will explain the options during the initial scheduling process.
