I’m a registered member of the BACP for counsellors and Psychotherapists. I work both long and short term with clients. My approach is both Integrative and Psychodynamic. I hold qualifications for both models of therapy. I’m fully bound by the ethical framework of the BACP 2018, and hold both personal and professional insurance. I conduct therapy sessions face-to-face from Apsley House, TA1 4BH, and also provide online sessions in the evenings when they are available.

About Me

Hi, and a warm welcome. My name is Jon Morley, and I am a warm and empathic Psychotherapist dedicated to helping you navigate the considerable complexity of Anxiety and its associated feelings. I understand how isolating Anxiety can feel, and I'm here to help you find relief and resilience. My approach centres on observing the effect that both Integrative and Psychodynamic modalities have on helping many clients in managing anxiety and regaining control over their lives. These symptoms can leave you feeling burnt out, exhausted, trapped in cycles of pain and overwhelming emotions that make coping difficult, but together we can work towards restoring hope and emotional balance. I believe strongly that finding the most suitable therapist who understands you and resonates with you is so important, someone who deeply understands those feelings you're having.

My own therapy journey has been nothing short of transformative, both within the requirements that formal training demands and in my personal life beforehand. There was a time in my life when the challenges I faced felt utterly overwhelming, making it difficult to imagine a way forward; feelings of anxiety and uncertainty seemed insurmountable, and I often struggled to make sense of the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. Being able to explore these intense emotions with someone who listened deeply and without judgment made all the difference. Through this supportive relationship, I learned to navigate difficult feelings and gradually regained a sense of control and hope. The experience of being truly heard and understood was profoundly liberating, highlighting how rare and valuable genuine listening can be in our lives.

In my practice, I work both privately and with a respected, long-standing counselling organisation, supporting clients from all walks of life and age groups. My integrative and psychodynamic training allows me to offer a uniquely tailored therapeutic experience, blending warmth and empathy with a clinical understanding of your feelings. This approach means I can draw on evidence-based techniques while gently exploring unconscious patterns that may be influencing your life, leading to lasting transformation. For example, I have worked with individuals who have experienced trauma, helping them gain insight into their emotional responses and develop healthier coping strategies, enabling them to move forward with greater resilience. By combining these methods, I strive to create a safe and contained environment where you can make meaningful, deep-seated changes, supported by my commitment to understanding and guiding you throughout your journey.

My Practice and How I Work

Navigating the wide variety of therapeutic approaches available can be challenging. Drawing from my own experiences as a therapy client, I appreciate the importance of transparency in this process. My personal journey has included both highly effective and less positive therapeutic experiences, which can understandably lead to feelings of discouragement or reluctance to seek further support. With formal training in both Integrative and Psychodynamic practices, I am able to offer a comprehensive and nuanced approach to our sessions.

The Integrative approach provides adaptable, client-centered therapy by incorporating CBT, person-centred, and relational techniques. My objective is to foster a strong, trusting, and empathetic partnership centred on your current experiences. Together, we will examine how these experiences affect you and work collaboratively to facilitate positive change and restore balance in your life. This method is often relatively brief and may be particularly effective for clients seeking a focused, solution-oriented process.

For concerns that are more deeply rooted or involve recurring patterns, I employ a Psychodynamic approach. This form of therapy seeks to explore the unconscious mind, where repressed emotions and much mental activity reside, with the goal of bringing unconscious material into conscious awareness. Suppressed feelings can manifest as anxiety or depression, sometimes without an apparent cause. Although it requires significant time and commitment, psychodynamic therapy enables clients to gain insight by uncovering hidden feelings. I encourage free association, enabling connections between early life experiences and present challenges, through a non-directive therapeutic style. This approach fosters change at the core level of personality, addressing longstanding patterns and emotional barriers. Typically, psychodynamic work extends over one to two years or longer, concluding when you feel ready to do so…

I offer both in-person sessions and online meetings via Zoom or WhatsApp, for short- and long-term needs. I’m both Integrative and Psychodynamic in modality. I’m currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with some evening appointments available strictly for online working.

I offer a free 30 min introductory call to discuss the possibility of working together and a brief chance to meet and talk.
