About Kathleen

Kathleen Morgan helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, addictions and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She uses psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years' experience practising as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Kathleen’s work focuses on understanding how past experiences shape present feelings and relationships. Sessions are 45 minutes and are usually held on a regular basis. She listens and may offer interpretations about patterns in the therapeutic relationship to help people reach a deeper self-understanding.

Her psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches draw on long-standing theories about early attachments and unconscious patterns. Kathleen explains how repeated behaviours and emotions can be linked to earlier relationships, and she helps people name those patterns so they can respond differently now.

She also uses trauma-focused ideas when past hurt affects daily life. This can involve gently addressing memories, intense reactions, dissociation and panic symptoms so they have less influence over current choices and relationships.

Kathleen describes the work as demanding but worthwhile. She is clear that change takes commitment and that talking about painful material can be hard. The aim is greater understanding and more workable ways of relating to others and to oneself.

How Kathleen’s approaches fit with online work

Psychodynamic and psychoanalytic work focuses on how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It involves paying attention to thoughts, feelings and repetitions in the therapeutic relationship to build understanding and new responses.

Trauma-focused work addresses the effects of past harm on everyday life. It looks at distressing memories, dissociation and intense reactions and aims to reduce their hold on daily functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client decide together which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences, and this is reviewed as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits practical needs.
