Harley Therapy

We had a terrible experience with Harley Therapy.
The therapist (Dr Peter Slater) discharged my adolescent family member by email, without giving a proper detailed assessment and used inappropriate and insensitive language that lacked empathy.
The clinic itself did not take on board our grievances and did not even investigate the matter, referring me instead to the BACP.
It took around 20 emails and several phone calls to finally get a referral letter that actually gave a useful and well-thought out assessment. Why couldn't Dr Slater have given this at the beginning instead of a half-baked rushed email with numerous spelling/grammar mistakes?
Overall, we have been very disappointed by our experience at Harley Therapy. Please think twice before booking an appointment here.

Maria made me see things I didn't want to see and she made me feel things I didn't want to feel. It was hard but the only way forward and for that I am truly very grateful.

My experience during the summer of 2016 was of a slow, cold and calculated cash-extraction process designed to maximise profit. My one and only experience of therapy... never again.

Had to go on a waiting list as no appointment times available in the evenings. Disappointing as this is the whole reason I wanted to go privately in the first place - may as well use the NHS!

This is my second visit to Harley Therapy – and again I have all positive things to say about my experience, my care and my therapist. Caroline Powell is absolutely fantastic. From the moment I walked into my first session with her until yesterday being my last as we finished therapy, Caroline has just been amazing. I felt a connection with her immediately and was able to share my thoughts and experiences instantly. Every session didn’t feel like a counselling session at all, Caroline made it feel as if we were catching up on our week and she made therapy far easier for me to deal with and understand by sharing with me her experiences. I would recommend Harley Therapy very positively to all my friends and colleagues.

Caroline left her phone number with me to keep in touch – she’s a true carer and is fabulous at what she does!

Well done Harley Therapy.

My therapist Caroline Powell was fantastic. She was compassionate and knowledgeable and an all around lovely person. She helped me through a tough time in my life by bringing to light the cause of my anxiety and depression, explaining why such feelings occur and teaching me how to deal with them. I had ten sessions with her and will be going back to see her in a few months for another ten. In the meantime, she provided me with her telephone number and said if I needed to talk she would be sure to make time for me. I feel like Caroline truly cares about my well-being, which in my opinion is one of the most important qualities a therapist can have.

I had three introductory sessions and then a course of continuous sessions for three months with Jane Robinson. The Harley Therapy Group was great in administering the appointments, sending reminders and re-arranging sessions if necessary. But what I’m really grateful for is the high quality analysis and service that Jane provided. Though a series of exercises and examinations, I was able to view and analyse myself (and relationships/situations) in different ways. I found Jane’s approach to be insightful, intuitive and focused, which is what I need. This has been a life changing experience for me. I would recommend this to anyone who needs change from the status quo and is willing to invest (money - yes, but more importantly, time and effort) into their future – in their own thinking, attitude and approach.
