Morgan Gairell, BACP

Morgan Gairell is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience. They draw on person-centred and mindfulness approaches while adapting methods to each person’s needs. Morgan aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels hard and begin to make practical changes.

Morgan works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and grief. They also support people dealing with addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and career worries. There is additional experience with ADHD, bipolar, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

They have particular experience with issues connected to sexual identity and neurodivergence and a history of working with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties and abandonment. Morgan also supports people affected by domestic violence, divorce and separation, cancer, caregiving stress and disaster-related distress.

In sessions Morgan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness practice. The focus is practical - noticing what matters to the individual, learning skills to respond differently, and building small steps that fit everyday life.

Morgan’s work includes school-based therapy, bereavement counselling and running mindfulness courses on the south coast of the United Kingdom. Online and text‑based options are offered for people who prefer remote sessions.

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, value-led steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Online sessions can focus on practical exercises and action plans that fit into day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches straightforward skills to shift unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions that can mean learning short coping techniques, testing out new behaviours between meetings and reviewing progress together.

Morgan will work collaboratively to find the best approach. They listen to a person’s goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those aims. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so the work feels useful and manageable rather than prescriptive.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter, ongoing support and may fit around work or caregiving commitments. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible while focusing on practical progress.
