About Morgan

Morgan Gairell is a BACP counsellor with 10 years of experience working across a wide range of concerns, including anger, stress, anxiety and grief. Morgan uses person-centred and mindfulness-based ways of working while drawing on other approaches to meet each person's needs.

Morgan practises from the south coast of the United Kingdom and combines work in a school, bereavement services and a private practice. They have experience supporting people who identify as LGBT and those who are neurodivergent, and have received accreditation with Pink Therapy for meeting specialist standards in working with LGBTQ people.

In sessions Morgan takes an integrative stance. That means they blend client-centred listening with practical skills from cognitive behavioural work and attention to present-moment awareness from mindfulness. Conversations often look at what leads to angry responses, what keeps them going, and small changes to interrupt those patterns.

Practical tools may include noticing bodily signals, testing out different ways of responding, and practicing short mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Morgan also works on related areas such as sleep, substance use, relationship strain and career stress when those things affect someone’s anger or mood.

Morgan describes therapy as collaborative. They aim to help people clarify what matters to them, develop manageable steps and practise new skills between sessions. Sessions also draw on bereavement and school-based experience when relevant to the issues presented.

How Morgan uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online

The writing and practice draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that fit what matters. It can help when anger feels tied to repeated thoughts or stuck rules about how things must be. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers experiments to try different responses and test assumptions. Mindfulness Therapy trains short attention practices and simple breathing or body awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Morgan approaches choosing a method as a shared task. They will talk with the client about goals, try methods in session and adjust the plan according to what feels useful. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT strategies, CBT exercises or mindfulness practices are most helpful for the person’s concerns.

The practical benefit of working online is fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when travel is difficult. If you prefer fewer distractions or shorter check-ins, those options can be discussed when you arrange the first meeting. Confirm the exact session formats on booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver these approaches effectively via remote sessions, and Morgan will work with the client to make the format fit everyday life rather than adding extra stress.
