Harley Therapy - Psychotherapy & Counselling

I had a wonderful experience with Harley Therapy. Dr Galya was a good match for me. She was attentive, kind, incredibly caring and brought the best out of me. It was a worthwhile experience and would encourage others to try Harley Therapy.

I had an excellent experience with Harley Therapy. Everyone I dealt with was helpful and clear. I saw Dr. Humphries who was compassionate and delightful, and inspired confidence with his experience and expertise. I was carefully listened to and I felt that I was heard and helped. Many thanks.

Laura is a brilliant therapist - compassionate, empathetic, and wise. She will also equip you with the tools you need outside of therapy, ultimately supporting your independence from needing therapy. The Harley admin team is also superb - extremely responsive, efficient, and flexible.

So glad that I found Dominique through Harley Therapy - she's become such an important person in my life through everything that she's supported me through and has taught me. She helped me come out of one of the darkest places where I fell after a significant bereavement, and at the same time helped me learn things about myself that I never realised were an issue before, and helped me tackle these too. It'll be a forever ongoing process, but I definitely feel like I'm able to manage a little better thanks to Dominique. Therapists are heroes!

I required an assessment in advance of a procedure but after a few dead ends elsewhere I was very short on time and needed a quick turnaround and Harley pulled through; super quick to respond and I had everything I needed in less than 48 hours after booking the appointment. The lady who assessed me was lovely, incredibly warm and friendly. Would absolutely recommend.

After only a short course of sessions, I began to feel interested and curious about my experiences in life that were shaping who I had become. With this knowledge I have begun to think differently about habits and rituals that had not been serving me well. Hopefully in time I will be able to address these things to make significant positive adjustments to my mental wellbeing, anxieties and life itself. Dominique was very friendly and accepting, I would highly recommend.

Harley Therapy was recommended to me and so initially, I went on the website to identify my needs, and then select a therapist who seemed to most meet those needs. I credit my. journey with Michelle for giving me back a meaningful life. Before therapy, my life had shrunk considerably to a place I never want to forget, but equally never wish to return to. The steady, careful, kind and delicate guidance of Michelle has led me to a place just a year later where every day is different, full and meaningful. I know that I owe all of my future potential to Michelle and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Harley Therapy have been amazing - I was given an appointment with no wait and felt so reassured by the admin team. Elena is lovely and so easy to talk to. Thank you!

My husband and I went into this with some trepidation not knowing what to expect. But we have just completed our time and we both feel proud that we have learned so much about ourselves and each other. We are stronger as a couple and have the knowledge to understand and then control what was triggering our disagreements. We did this online, over 6 months, and it worked perfectly for us. To be honest, at times it was painful, but I see now - invaluable

I have had a great deal of anxiety when I first started my sessions and now I’m far better in my mental health. The therapy was very extensive and allowed me to think in ways that really addressed my thoughts.

I'm extremely pleased with the results of my therapy sessions with Leila. When I started a few months ago, a number of traumas in my life had made me feel very anxious about everything, always fearing the worst would happen, such that even a phone call could lead to a panic attack. The change to how I feel now is wonderful. I'm enjoying life and feeling very positive about the future. Problems are no longer overwhelming me and sending me into panic. Of course some things can still upset or worry me, but I'm now in control and able to think clearly about how I want to deal with the situation. I cannot thank Leila enough. She was very good at listening in a supportive way, helping me process past traumas mainly using EMDR and guiding me to think about how I wanted to move forward.

I was able to book an appointment very quickly and my Therapist was excellent and she was huge help to me

I really appreciated all the sessions I had with Michelle and I would love to continue having more sessions with her. I've had therapy done over the years but she's been the best one.

Michelle at Harley Therapy was absolutely fantastic. I had never considered therapy until I was really struggling following the bereavement of my mother. Michelle helped me to overcome this trauma and past traumas that I didn't realise were still effecting me in adult life. I would recommend Michelle to anyone going through similar issues to arrange an appointment. It is worth the investment in yourself because I am so much more content in my life since my therapy. If I find myself struggling again, I definitely would get back in contact with Michelle. Thank you so much for your help.

Caroline has been a huge support during a very turbulent time in my life. She has a great warmth and empathy, and truly cares. My outlook has changed for the better on some significant life events and I feel confident enough to manage with the tools she has provided me. Thanks Caroline!

As a dyslexic person myself I understand the importance of getting educational assessments completed at an early age so that you can put in place all the best interventions to support a child's development and allow them to thrive. Paula Wynter undertook an assessment of my daughter recently. Her approach is warm, caring and makes the child feel at ease. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the experience and has told all her friends about how good it was and miles nicer then sitting SAT tests! Thanks to Paula's detailed report, we are now working closely with the school to put in place all the recommendations in the report. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Paula and hopefully my daughter will fly like I did once the help was put in place.

I had several sessions with Dr Maria Vella and found it very helpful to be able to open up and speak about my problems. I am not usually good at expressing myself and she was very good at asking questions to help me open up more and delve into the issues. She was able to quickly find the route cause of my anxiety and provide valuable insight and then begin working on how to address this.

My experience of ADHD therapy with Dr Maria Daves at Harley Therapy was rewarding both on a practical and and emotional level. I learnt to develop new techniques and strategies to manage my ADHD to work to my strengths. I also gained greater understanding of my neurodiversity enabling me to reinforce the positive, creative, productive and dynamic elements of my way of being. Thank you! :)

My appointment was very relaxed and positive, the lady was really friendly and easy to talk to, she was very professional, and I would definitely recommend after my consultation.

Ahi was absolutely fantastic. She was professional and really helped me work through a really difficult time. Admin staff were incredibly helpful and communicated well with me about all of my appointments. I would highly recommend Harley Street Therapy for anyone having a difficult time.

I was very pleased with any interaction between myself, the therapist and the team at Harley. Every interaction with the Harley Team was conducted in a very timely, discrete and friendly manner - not to forget helpful with any inquiry I had. Would recommend to anyone.

Maria has been amazing, I thoroughly recommend her and Harley Therapy.

Great selection of therapists with varied therapeutic approaches (and price points based on their experience). I was matched with Leila who provided excellent support over the course of our 6 sessions. I’d highly recommend the practice for anyone needing short, medium or long term care.

Professional and friendly, highl recommend.

Theodora Savvidou has been my daughter's therapist for over three years. She was immensely helpful to my daughter in fighting anxiety, adapting to new school environment and growing as an individual. Theodora is very reasonable, compassionate and intelligent person. She obviously cared a lot about my child's well-being. Theodora helped us navigate through a very difficult period in my daughter's life, and I would highly recommend her to anyone, including my friends and family.

At first I was uncertain to start therapy - especially with a company I hadn't heard of. However, after arranging my first session with the friendly team I felt comfortable enough to open up and gain the professional help I needed. I had EMDR therapy with Leila to process traumatic experiences and to install positive cognitions. This increased my confidence, the level of trust I have for myself, allowed me to become more present, assertive, reduced built up guilt and more. The sessions allowed me to develop my healthy adult and provided me with tools for the future.

I found Maxine to be professional and sensitive to my needs. I worked with her during a critical time in my life and felt understood and safe during our sessions. I would highly recommend her, she’s amazing!

Very quick to get an appointment and very professional

I worked with Gemma for over a year and she is one of the best therapists I've ever seen. She helped me through an incredibly difficult year. I would recommend her highly and feel lucky to have gotten to work with her.

I can’t thank Michelle enough for all her support and encouragement over the past few years. I have come out the other side of a nasty divorce smiling and that is all thanks to Michelle. Thank you so much

Melanie Demarco was amazing, she listened, shared valuable insight for me to think about & we work through a process without me even realising how beneficial it would be. To be honest I was sceptical about therapy but Melanie made it so easy. I have had a mind set & life change, I'm looking forward to how I continue to apply what I have learnt about myself in the future. The great thing is I know that I can book an appointment with Melanie whenever I need it in the future. It is ok not to be ok and there is no shame in this! Thank you again

Stefan is an excellent therapist. I would highly recommend to anyone. So grateful of his work. Thanks a million.

This supposedly renowned psychiatrist managed to confuse ADHD and rejection sensitivity and emotional dysphoria for narcissism. Amateur to say the least. If a psychiatrist hasn't heard of RSD they know very little about ADHD. They also started me on amphetamines for my ADHD 'tendencies' (he refused to just give me the ADHD label) and didn't do any ecg or cardiovascular examination as recommended by NICE. They weren't empathetic and I could definitely sense some prejudice (I note a previous reviewer saying this too). I have since gotten diagnosed elsewhere. My new psychiatrist understandably laughed when I told them he confused my symptoms for narcissism. I'm still upset by it due to my RSD. I only got half my money back (I didn't get a report which I presume makes up a proportion of this refunded cost), so spent hundreds of pounds to be insulted and obsess and get upset about it for months. Bad value for money. I'm a medical doctor and I actually had a patient with ADHD diagnosed at Harley St and started on amphetamines recently. He presented with a dangerous arrhythmia and features of a stroke. They had polycythemia meaning they had a high blood count and were prone to blood clots. The amphetamine treatment triggered an arrythmia that causes blood clots in healthy people, so for him, this was very serious amount of clot in his brain due to the viscosity of his blood. Luckily I treated him and reversed his stroke features and he had no permenenant neurological disability. He didn't have an ECG or any cardiovascular investigation either. He did give a history of years of intermittent palpitations that suddenly worsened after starting ADHD treatment. Any good psychiatrist would at very least enquire about medical issues if they were so irresponsible as to not investigate as per NICE recommendations for safety. And they would warn the patient about things to look out for! Harley st clearly rely on their reputation rather than good clinicians. I rarely leave bad reviews and it feels in bad taste but I've been holding myself back for months now. I did complain formally but got a weak apology and a half refund for our difference of opinions. Unfortunately due to my RSD it keeps bugging me and I know speaking out about this experience that got me down for months is the only way for me to find closure. I'll add it to my ever growing list of RSD episodes that affect me and worsen my social anxieties and behaviours. At the end of the day, the UK is years if not decades behind the US in ADHD and i dont think anyone seeking a private diagnosis should have high expectations whatsoever - my impression is that the specialty of ADHD in the private sector is made up of self proclaimed experts that have minimal work and experience in the field. RSD is all anyone talks about in ADHD support groups online and in group meets, and is a very common presenting complaint... being upset with people who wrong you and having conflict and upset around these conflicts or injustices is the biggest difficultly with ADHD. Any decent psychiatrist should know this, and appreciate the impact of their words on their patients. Thats if they make the right diagnosis in the first place! What's more, a decent psychiatrist should know that narcissists don't complain of extreme psychological distress, pain, and disproportionate guilt from upsetting others... quite the opposite of narcisism! But dare I argue with this renowned Harley St psychiatrist!

I worked with Maxine for 10 weeks and, even in this short period of time, I have seen great results thanks to her insight. She has been very helpful, very empathetic and I felt completely safe and listened in a non-judgemental environment. I was hesitant to start therapy during lockdown at first however, even through a screen, I felt very present and connected to her. I would highly recommend Maxine.

Thank you Dr. Zoe. I was very fortunate to get treatment under you. You advice has really change my life. I am very happy person now. Much more playful in my life. I see world differently. Thank you very for being very supportive. You are best in your job and has very professional and friendly approach

My therapist was very empathetic and she greatly helped me get to the root of my problems and enabled me to move forward. I felt she really listened and was completely non-judgemental. My therapy was a very positive experience which has helped me massively in my life.

Had a very positive experience working with Elena at Harley Therapy. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I received a great service!

Very good to talk to someone that understands a difficult situation, although they may not always follow you up afterwards.... Overall a positive experience.

My course of therapy treatment at Harley Street Therapy has changed my life. It has been worth every penny. They have given me the opportunity to put my issues into a different perspective and given me the tools to go forward on my journey. I have felt so comfortable being at Harley Street that I felt the need to return, I would not hesitate to go back for another session. I would highly recommend anyone considering going to go ahead and book your first appointment.

The support and quality of therapy that I received with Gemma was exceptional. Would thoroughly recommend.

Extremely efficient and to-the-point. The people here clearly know their stuff. Highly recommended.

I was about to book a zoom session at this clinic but was shocked to find the cost of online therapy is the same. I find that outrageous. Many clinics in London knock at least twenty pounds off their prices for online sessions. When these therapists work independently from Harley Street, they do not charge the large amounts they do at Harley Street. Doesn't make any sense. Daylight robbery if you ask me.

Safe environment to open up and feel understood. No judgement. Helped me understand my own behaviour and what I was going through. Made me reflect on my past in a way I could make informed decisions for my future. All in all, very helpful!

Great experience with Harley Therapy. Maria Vella was extremely professional, helpful and direct in working with me to address my concerns. This is exactly what I was looking for and I would highly recommend her and this clinics services.

It was nice talking with Melanie and listening to her Suggestions. The team is very professional in dealing any questions. I must say they take their client very seriously, to provide the service the client want

Me and my wife engaged in a couple therapy with Natalia, who was an amazing professional. We went just to under 10 sessions and after two sessions (the time needed for the therapist to start getting familiar with you and the main issue) we started seeing positive dynamic. Natalia helped us to unravel many reasons behind our issues, and helped us to understand them and find solutions. The dynamic was very friendly, we felt secured, we did not feel judged or pushed to open up too quickly. All together we are happy that we took this leap of faith and allowed Natalia to participate in our healing path.

Life changing. Pretty expensive but in my opinion totally worth it. I’ve been using Harley therapy for over two years now off and on and have never had a problem with payments, invoices or appointment scheduling. Jane Robinson is a wonderful psychotherapist who I would trust with my life and has helped me an inordinate amount. I often leave therapy and tell my friends that I think my therapist might be a genius. I have always experienced the most professional care at Harley street and would recommend to anyone who is able to afford the price tag.

Philippa Donald has been patient, warm, eloquent and helpful in helping look at various aspects of my life. Advice has been practical and easy to digest. Would recommend to others.

Harley Therapy have been great. Good communication throughout and friendly staff. I highly recommend Gemma Allison. I have been seeing her for weekly sessions over the last 6 months and they have been invaluable to me.
