Psychotherapy in County Durham, Gateshead & Across the UK

I am a UKCP and GPsyC Registered Psychotherapist offering face-to-face psychotherapy in Lanchester and Rowlands Gill, alongside remote therapy throughout the UK.

My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy and informed by attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, EMDR, and Jungian psychology. I offer both longer-term depth psychotherapy and short-term counselling in a confidential and supportive environment.

A space to reflect, understand, and grow

People seek therapy for many different reasons.

Some come with a clear understanding of what is troubling them. Others arrive with a sense that something is not quite right but struggle to put it into words.

Therapy provides an opportunity to pause, reflect, and explore thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences within a confidential and non-judgemental setting.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, bereavement, or simply feeling stuck, psychotherapy can offer a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

Meet Craig Morgan

Hello, I am a UKCP & GPsyC Registered Psychotherapist offering in-person and remote psychotherapy. I work in a psychodynamic way using integrated modalities. I offer longer term, depth psychotherapy and short-term counselling.

As a trained professional, I help individuals address and manage emotional, psychological, and behavioural difficulties through psychotherapy. My role is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences within a confidential and non-judgemental space.

My practice incorporates several therapeutic approaches. My primary training is in Transactional Analysis, with developmental and attachment theories also forming a substantial part of my work.

My primary modality going forward is Jungian Psychotherapy, and I continue my professional development through training with the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich.

"I believe it can be helpful to understand our own story before writing the next chapter."

My approach

Psychotherapy is not about being given answers.

It is a collaborative process of exploration, understanding, and growth.

My work draws from several areas of psychotherapy to create a therapeutic experience that reflects the individual sitting in front of me.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Exploring deeper emotional patterns and unconscious influences.

Attachment Theory

Understanding how early relationships continue to shape present experiences.

Jungian Psychology

Working with symbolism, dreams, imagination, and personal meaning.

Integrative Practice

Drawing upon different approaches depending on the needs of the individual.

Face-to-face and online therapy

I offer psychotherapy from welcoming locations in County Durham and the North East, alongside secure online sessions throughout the UK.

Ithaka

As you set out for Ithaka
Pray your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Do not fear the Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon. You’ll not encounter them
as you keep your thoughts raised high,
you won’t encounter the Cyclops, Laistrygonians or
savage Poseidon if you do not carry them in your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope your road is a long one.
May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind—
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to learn and go on learning from their scholars.

Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
But don’t hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you’re old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

Ithaka gave you the marvellous journey.
Without her you wouldn’t have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
