My son (young adult) was desperate. Self harming, feeling suicidal, and was absolutely at rock bottom. His relationship with his girlfriend had become toxic and he didn;t have the strength to leave her. We took him out of University 6 weeks before leaving his final year. He felt desperate and so did we as a family. Trying for months to get the 'right' help and got no where with anyone. Being mildly autistic made everything more difficult. We started on-line sessions with Mathew Kemsley - I can't describe how excellent Mathew was and was understanding of all my sons' troubles - including relationship issues with the toxic girlfriend. Mathew pulled my son out of a very dark hole and got him on his feet enough that he started to help himself, Including medication from a Psychiatrist. My son is extremely picks as to whom he likes (being autistic) but he really liked Mathew and listened to him. 6 months on, my son has a full time job and is 'on his feet'. It has been a very long road and he is not fully there but without Mathews' guidance I'm not sure my son would be in this world anymore. There is always a long way to go with Mental Health and I know it is not a quick fix, but if you find someone who understands you and is calming and positive, then you are half way there. Thank you to Mathew for saving my son from his darkest place.... (Show more)

Thank you so very much for this feedback, which is truly wonderful to hear. It is incredibly heartwarming to learn of the massively positive impact therapy with Matthew has had on your son. All steps forwards, no matter how big or small, are positive steps in the right direction. Therapy is a process which takes commitment, and credit goes to your son and Matthew together. May we take this opportunity to wish your son all the very best for the future. With kindest regards.

I was discriminated against due to my mental health and my complex symptoms. Don’t let the name and fancy location fool you. My first session was okay with dr buttan, we discussed my symptoms, life experiences and family history of mental health, I also got a diagnosis. I was very honest about my symptoms. The Second session was horrible, dr buttan was 10 minutes late, I didn’t get the full 30min that i paid for, plus someone else had to apologise on DR buttan Behalf for his lateness. I didn’t like the therapy session overall, so I decided to change to another therapist (dr alexis economou) I was very honest when I filled out my assessment form, I also paid for the Therapy. Surprisingly, a couple of days afterwards I receive your email saying that they cannot treat me due to the fact that my symptoms are too Complex and they will be discharging me from there serivces. From right from the beginning, they knew how complex my symptoms are. If you’re Someone with a Personality disorder or complex symptoms, avoid going here. They display it on their site that they work with people with personality disorders but I really don’t think they have the time, The experience and the level of knowledge. Don’t spend your money finding Treatment, here. find a facility that can treat your symptoms and respect you as a human being. (this is a reply to the feedback from the clinic) The first session that I had with DR buttan He was aware of my Complex’s symptoms. I know what I said to him So stop trying to gaslight me....

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you feel discriminated against following a clinical decision that Harley Therapy is not best placed to meet your needs at this current time. Please be assured that we do offer treatment and support for clients presenting with Personality Disorder. However, if this is combined with other significant and complex issues, in conjunction with potential high risk to the client themselves or others, it is important that we establish whether private outpatient services alone is sufficient enough to support that person. Upon receipt of additional information provided by you on your completed assessment form, you advised us of areas that raised cause for concern in terms of significant and high risk. [Due to the nature of confidentiality, we will not disclose this information here.] This coincided with you not having followed the recommendations previously advised by Dr Buttan, which would be required in order to help treat and support you. At this juncture, a full and thorough consultation and review between Harley Therapy psychiatrists and the management team was undertaken. It was subsequently concluded that private outpatient treatment is neither a suitable or safe option for you at this present time. Harley Therapy would not want a patient to pay for an appointment unnecessarily when our practice is not suitable to provide ongoing treatment. Subsequently, the consultation was cancelled and where a full refund has been processed to you. Our psychiatrists have put together treatment recommendations in order to signpost you to the best way forward for your situation. As previously advised, we strongly recommend that you contact your GP, where we would be happy to provide any such urgent referral letter requested to help support and transition you back into the NHS. Once again, we are sorry for any disappointment this decision has caused. With kind wishes, Harley Therapy

Over a year has passed now since I finished (or put on pause) my treatment with Leila. The underlying issues have not of course been completed resolved, but I have the tools to recognise when a problem when it is coming up or worsening, and to soften and shorten its impact. I am most grateful for the time that she spent with me.... (Show more)

Danesh Sakera Danesh has been and IS an utter breath of fresh air to me. By talking through life circumstances both past and present, has enabled me to consider a whole new way of coping.

I find her so easy to open up to and its all OK , she offers always appropriate yet relative measures of seeing a situation from angles i had never thought of.

I saw Dr Alexandra Cappai for an ADD diagnosis and had an ADD coaching session with Dr Mahen Jhugroo. Both were highly professional, helping me understand ADD and mapping out a clear path for me to manage it.

All staff members at Harley Therapy provided an excellent service. In particular my therapist, Dr Olena Edwards, who is kind, professional and trusting. She has helped me through various circumstances in my life and helped me overcome many obstacles. She is very knowledgeable and we built a rapport quickly. I cannot recommend her enough!...

Yevgeniy, our therapist, was incredibly helpful. The experience could not have been better. I now feel so much stronger, more secure, and on the right path to go forwards. He had an extremely clever way of making me think about things in a totally new way, and enabled me to uncover aspects of my assumptions that were previously completely hidden from me. I always felt I was in completely safe hands - nothing seemed to phase him, even when the going got tough. I thoroughly recommend him. Harley Therapy as a whole were always efficient and helpful too. Thanks for a great experience.... (Show more)

I am extremely, extremely disappointed in my experience at Harley Street. I was promised a written diagnosis two weeks after my appointment, and it took two emails reminders from me to finally receive it at the six week mark. When the report came, it was full of inaccuracies, which showed me that the doctor was not really listening during my session. I reached the end and almost had this feeling of, "Is that it? I paid an arm and a leg for this??" Didn't help that the front desk staff where short with me and unhelpful. I came to them in great need and seeking real help, and this was no where near worth it. Unprofessional and disheartening from start to finish.... (Show more)

Doing EMDR with Dr Maria Vella allowed me to resolve a specific trauma within an extremely short period of time. I went into my first session apprehensive, and by the last, I was actually laughing and able to gain a new perspective on many of the thing that happened during my childhood. This is something I never imagined possible. Maria and I focused on its emotional imprint and as a result, I was able to put a lifetime of social anxiety to rest. I would highly recommend her for EMDR therapy.... (Show more)

I had an excellent experience of therapy with Ahi, and I achieved exactly what I wanted to in my sessions with her. I also learnt a huge amount about myself, and I believe I’ll continue to benefit from therapy as I move forward in life. Ahi is kind, engaging, and very insightful. She also has an amazing talent for remembering even the smallest things I’d spoken about, so I felt truly listened to. I’m so glad that I came to Harley Therapy and cannot recommend Ahi enough....

Perhaps the best therapy clinic in London. I spoke to Dr Mahen Jhugroo, who is extremely empathetic, talented, goes into depths and is very personable.

I cannot rate Ahi highly enough. Her professionalism is of the highest order, she is empathetic, engaging and coaches you in just the right way. I feel truly lucky to have had her guidance through a very tough time in my life. I would (and have) recommended her to anyone looking for help.
