Our Counsellors and Therapists

Jo Wiseman

Founder & Psychotherapist - MBACP

I'm a warm, curious, and down-to-earth therapist offering a safe, supportive space to explore whatever brings you here.

Therapy with me isn't always serious or analytical - it's not about lying on a couch while I nod and take notes. I'm a real person, and I bring my whole self to the work. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we sit with something tender or painful. And sometimes we gently challenge the patterns that no longer serve you.

I work in a relational and integrative way, which means I tailor our sessions to your unique needs and experiences. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want to understand yourself more deeply, I'm here to support you through it.

I hold a BSc in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy, alongside many years of trauma-focused and human development training. My approach is grounded in empathy, presence, and deep respect for each person's lived experience.

I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space for people navigating complex or transitional life experiences. I have worked extensively with care-experienced people and individuals who have experienced homelessness, as well as those facing emotional challenges such as loss, identity shifts, or feeling disconnected from themselves.

I also have particular experience supporting women through significant life transitions including pregnancy, all stages of motherhood, menopause, relationship breakdown, infertility, miscarriage, and child-loss.

Sally Morrison

Psychotherapist - UKCP

I'm a practicing therapist and yoga teacher, integrating the mind-body connection into talking therapy. Maybe you notice you are feeling tense, irritable, unable to rest, needing to distract yourself or maybe you're feeling lost, low in energy or unable to get going. Our experiences don't just live in our mind, brain and thoughts, they're felt physically too.

Together we will build awareness of what's happening for you. We'll combine talking things through with paying attention to how your body feels, as this can offer clues to what's going on for you. Sometimes it's obvious why we're feeling something; other times it makes no sense. I believe that a lot of what shapes our behaviour and feelings happens below the surface, without us realising.

Over time, the aim is to help you move between different emotional states more easily and make sense of them as they happen. Being emotionally healthy doesn't mean feeling calm all the time. It means being able to feel the full range of human emotions, the difficult ones as well as the good ones, without becoming overwhelmed or stuck. Together, we'll build your resilience and ability to adapt, so you can deal with whatever life brings.

I achieved my masters in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. I have worked with a wide variety of adults (18+) particularly around the issues of sexual abuse, trauma and dissociation, relationship difficulties, anxiety and low self-esteem. I also have extensive experience providing counselling and therapy for students.

Sarah Holt

Psychotherapist - MBACP

I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space for you to explore whatever has brought you to therapy.

I know that reaching out for support can feel daunting and you might be unsure where to start, wondering whether your difficulties are 'bad enough', or feeling overwhelmed by reading countless therapist profiles. I've been there myself.

My approach is relational and integrative, meaning therapy is uniquely tailored to you, rather than fitting you into a rigid framework. My aim is to walk alongside you, not to direct or 'fix' you; offering openness, curiosity, gentle challenge, (and yes, even humour!) as we explore your past and present experiences together. I strive to create a collaborative space where you can bring all parts of yourself, and feel understood, believed and supported.

I bring an awareness of how our histories, identities, relationships, and environments shape who we are. I have experienced my own struggles with mental health and self-worth, finding healing through therapy, and believe those who have known pain can offer a particularly attuned and compassionate presence to others.

I have experience working with clients with a wide range of difficulties, including family issues and estrangement, autism and ADHD, depression and anxiety, trauma, abuse, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, gender identity, grief and loss, loneliness, workplace issues, and mental health diagnoses.

Jo Svec

Psychotherapist - MBACP

Life is hard and emotions are difficult and no one should be expected to walk this all alone. With me as your counsellor you can always be sure that you are accepted as you arrive.

I respect your experience; with me, you can breathe free of judgment. This includes being a safe space for disabled, LGBT and neurodivergent clients. My stance is that of exploration and ultimately I am here to empower you to find the life you want.

I am trained in Person-Centred Therapy, meaning you as the whole person are the focus. Your story matters. You are not being reduced to symptoms and treatment. Things we feel come from somewhere and it's the roots we will address through conversation as you process and feel. I can also work integratively; I know many tools to tailor the process to your specific needs I am also aware sometimes just talk isn't enough and life needs action, so I also specialise in working on practical changes and can support you with achieving goals and finding concrete solutions together.

I can support you with low self-worth and shame, finding emotional clarity, managing anxiety and depression, building self-care and resilience, addressing difficult childhood, relationships, communication, stress management and many more - Because YOU are worth fighting for!

Beth Hartshorne

Therapeutic Counsellor - MBACP

I offer a reflective and supportive space where all parts of you are welcome. My aim is to create a space where you can feel accepted in the fullness of your experience, and where authenticity, self-compassion, and your own inner wisdom can begin to flourish.

Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to your individual needs, helping you to explore your experiences with curiosity and care, while welcoming mind, body, emotions, creativity and spirituality. I work in an integrative and relational-developmental way, so we might explore how past and present experiences, and your connection with yourself, others and the wider world, have shaped who you are today.

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma (Level 7) in Integrative Psychotherapy through the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute and before training as a therapist, I worked within education, wellbeing and creative services. Time spent living within different cultures, alongside my work as a songwriter/musician and creative mentor for care-experienced and neurodiverse young people, has also shaped my approach to therapy, bringing openness, inclusivity, creativity and care for each person’s unique story. My hope is that, over time, therapy can offer you a way to reconnect with yourself more fully and gently.

Alisha Dagia

Relational Therapist - UKCP

I offer short and long-term therapy for adults, both online and face-to-face, using an integrative relational and developmental approach. I provide a warm, compassionate, and confidential space where we can explore whatever has brought you to therapy at a pace that feels right for you.

I am particularly drawn to working with people who sense a disconnect between who they are, who they have learned to be, and how they want to live and relate. You may have achieved success in your education, career, or other areas of life, yet find yourself caught in unsatisfying or repetitive relationship patterns, struggling with self-worth, or feeling like an imposter. Equally, you may feel secure in your relationships but feel stuck, unfulfilled, or unable to move forward in other areas of your life.

I have a particular interest in working with the impact of relational, developmental, cultural, racial, and religious experiences, including trauma, discrimination, identity, belonging, and intergenerational expectations. As a British South Asian person, I hold a nuanced understanding of living between cultures and how this can bring both richness and challenge, shaping our values, relationships, choices, and sense of self.

Together, we can develop a greater understanding of the patterns that have shaped your life, reconnect with your own needs and values, and make choices that feel more aligned with who you are, rather than who you have felt expected to be.
