Harley Therapy - Psychotherapy & Counselling Omdömen 

Ahi is a very intelligent and well read therapist and her ability and perception helped me through a very difficult time enabling me to make a realignment of my emotions and putting me in a state where I can happily cope with the drama of daily life where before I could not. I am more than satisfied and very grateful.

Really helped me discover myself and give me the confidence to tackle the future head on!

We had a great experience at Harley Therapy! It was not the first time I had had therapy but it was by far the most helpful. My partner and I had pre-marital therapy and Dr Vella really helped us to communicate and understand each other. I would definitely recommend her, she is intelligent and insightful.

Monica is brilliant, very straight forward with the way she explains things. I’ve battled with crippling OCD for around 7 years and after a few sessions with Monica and a wonderful book she recommended I actually feel like I can get a hold of the OCD and live my life. Thank you so much Monica. I would recommend to anyone.

Dr Maria Vella was very understanding, open and honest in her approach. She was direct and encouraged me to reflect on many things. She allowed me to see certain family situations in a different light and offered support on how to cope with identity challenges/ family pressures and career uncertainty. Her approach was warm, friendly and comforting. Therapy with Dr Vella is based on talking through your own thoughts and behaviours, it is very self-directed and encourages you to take the control back in your life. Unfortunately I was unable to do a huge number of sessions due to work commitments but I learnt a lot about myself and the people in my life in very short space of time, thanks to Dr Vella's encouragement to reflect.

Dr Maria Vella helped my partner and I through a really tough time, and thanks to her expertise and professionalism we now know how to address our issues in a constructive way.
We cannot thank her enough for all the support that she has given us.

I worked with Dr Maria Vella over the last 2 years to address anxiety issues related to family relationships and problems with my self image. I came into the process with difficulties sleeping and relating to family, friends and myself. Through some difficult and direct sessions with Dr Vella, over time came trust in the process and finally the ability to acknowledge and address the underlying route causes for the first time. The result has been far better understanding, perspective and inner peace, with greater emotional stability and confidence to take on larger work and life challenges. I am grateful for her support in getting through a very difficult period.

The time I have spent at Harley Therapy has been life changing. Michelle was able to walk me through to an understanding and acceptance of what the core problems in my life have been. I am deeply thankful.

Maria Vella was invaluable to work with as a couple. In only a very short period, she was able to help us identify some of the issues we were having and establish a protocol for dealing with them. I found her extremely good to work with as she can be quite prescriptive and direct, which is sometimes what you need when you find you’ve been going in circles on a problem. We are grateful for the help she has given us.

We would strongly recommend Philippa Donald. She is very professional and has help us with our concerns with her suggested exercises and the therapeutic sessions. She has enormously help us to make our own decisions and handle situations of our problems enabling us to move forward with confidence. She will always be there for us if we needed further assistance.

I've had therapy before and I was impressed by how quickly Dr Vella understood my issues and could guide me in a kind but firm way. I could only attend four sessions but I wish I could have stayed for longer. I definitely recommend her.

Outstanding experience - sensitive and responsive - I have already recommended to many friends

Dr Vella is an excellent therapist, who is ready to take a holistic and long-term approach to your problems. She has an impressive ability to listen and to probe more into the most pertinent points; would definitely recommend.

Excellent Service and really really helpful session where the therapist actually shows she cares.

Gemma is an understanding, patient and very intelligent individual. She helped me identify the issues I was struggling with and always supported me in coming to realizations myself. Would definitely recommend to others suffering from eating disorders (or any range of difficulties!) She is really lovely and uses mixed approaches to achieve the most successful therapeutic outcomes.

Having experienced therapy (good and bad, free and private) before, I wondered why Harley therapists had such a good reputation, and why they were quite a lot more expensive than others. After my sessions with Desiree, it all made sense to me. Desiree a fantastic therapist, and provided a really welcoming and constructive environment for us to work together on my issues. She helped me identify my own issues, and also get over real hurdles in my life. She provided numerous resources that I am still working my way through. We would discuss them in sessions, starting with 'does this sound like you?', which helped her get a really good idea of what I was struggling with. Desiree is extremely knowledgable (about psychology, CBT and so many other things in life!) and incredibly well-read, and this means that she draws from a very deep well of resources to help her clients, and understand what they are going through. I have been so impressed, and completely trusted her guidance. She also has a very unique way of empathising with clients - it was not difficult at all to really get her to understand what I what I was going through, even though felt like very idiosyncratic experiences and feelings!
I really can't speak more positively about her! And the process with the Harley Therapy group was also seamless - I was seen very quickly, payments were made very easily, and they have a variety of time slots and locations to choose from. Really brilliant.

Zoe is an excellent therapist - she is reassuring and always with you, and helps you understand the reasons why you have got to the place you have. 5*

- Good, insightful and intelligent conversation.
- Will have a lasting impact on how I think about my mental health: thoughts/feelings.
- I think relatively expensive.
- Not sure I like the policy that you must pay if you are on holiday, but the therapist could choose to take holiday.

I found Harley Therapy through a quick Internet search not knowing what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. My therapist was Joanna Roberts and she is excellent. She is very approachable and kind. This was my first experience with a therapist and I must say that all of my nervousness and reservations were easily put to rest after my first session with Joanna.

She really helped me out. All I can say is that I am so grateful that she was assigned to me because she managed to help me with an issue I have been dealing with for many years. I felt extremely comfortable with her and everytime I left the clinic I always felt positive and happy. I would definitely recommend Harley Therapy and Joanna Roberts to my friends and family.
