Harley Therapy - Psychotherapy & Counselling Reviews 

Maxine was excellent. She was very easy to open up to and used a variety of methods to help me. I felt like she really did care.

Th back office were also excellent and made the entire process run very smoothly.

Harley Therapy Admin team was professional and responsive.

I also highly recommend Leila Steeds. She created a safe and non-judgmental environment. Leila very quickly understood the issues (way before I did) and would relay them back to me succinctly.

By helping me identify the underlying issues, she provided me with a greater understanding of myself. Most importantly, she gave me some tools and methods of working enabling me to make changes in my life.

Ahi Wheeler is brilliant, insightful and empathic. We would recommend her to anybody (and have to quite a few.)

Very helpful - felt reassuring to know you were not being judged and could speak openly and honestly. Received several coping mechanisms which have greatly helped to control and ultimately reduce my anxiety.

Strongly recommend to anyone who is feeling isolated and afraid to open up to close friends or family.

Laura has been beyond exceptional.This was my first time in therapy, but Laura has made it easier for me to discuss many topics which I had never discussed before and which I found difficult to deal with. I believe her method is great and comforting. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking therapy.

Dr. Maria Vella helped me navigate a lifetime of unprocessed traumatic events, turning my life around in only 1,5 years.

I entered therapy in the midst of a whirlwind relationship I no longer knew how to navigate. With her shrewd insights rooted in years of experience, Dr. Vella quickly discerned that my relationship anxieties were a symptom of greater issues and underlying trauma that remained unprocessed.

The end of this romantic relationship triggered a complete disintegration of my life as I knew it. What followed was an overwhelming resurfacing of traumatic memories from different stages of my life, and the subsequent breakdown of tense family relationships. In my time of overwhelm and confusion, Dr. Vella was a trustworthy guide, maintaining a clear sense of understanding and holistic perspective of the process. She unwaveringly guided me through the necessary stages of reliving, grieving and integrating these painful traumatic events.

With her firm, yet compassionate approach Dr. Vella helped me reframe my difficult life experiences with increased understanding and insight. Even through my times of resistance and stubbornness, Dr. Vella held me accountable and guided me to see the impact of my own actions and attitudes on the quality of my life. In doing so, she helped me develop an increased level of self awareness, responsibility and sense of independence I had never experienced before.

With a renewed empowerment and stronger personal boundaries, I was able to make major life changes and mend difficult family relationships. With Dr. Vella's guidance, I was truly able to turn my life around in only 72 weeks, and for that I remain forever grateful.

Leila genuinely changed my life. I went from depression, anxiety, a miserable relationship and frustrating job to being happy and confident in blissful singleness, with a promotion to boot. Leila did in a year what 10 years of many other therapists and techniques could not do. Most important, she has left me with an ability to keep myself well rather than be dependent on her. Cannot recommend highly enough.

My sessions with Ahi Wheeler helped me tremendously though a really difficult time. She created a safe environment for me to express myself and has truly been a great support through my journey.

I personally found the therapy extremely successful, Michelle is a brilliant therapist and has helped both I and my partner to move forward. I couldn’t recommend the whole process any higher, thank you for everything.

My time and experience with Stefan has been amazing, and he has helped in so many ways. He has a great way of understanding and listening and has got me through these difficult times in my life.

Our sessions with Dr Maria Vella were invaluable. Her knowledge, experience and approach ensured that together we identified, addressed and successfully resolved issues which we would never have been able to achieve alone, or through other forms of relationship counselling. We would absolutely recommend her to others and are so pleased we chose Maria as our therapist.

Dr Vella genuinely changed my life. Dr Maria Vella helped me through some major life transitions over ten years of therapy with her.

I went from a career in finance I hated, deep rooted alcoholism, drug abuse and gambling... to moving on sadly from her support (though it was time) with a happy and stable family life, a career I love and more importantly the toolkit to learn and approach life with a thoughtful sense of my feelings, and what the right life choices are for me.

She never stopped believing in me, and her persistent and unique style made me open up to her a true form of honesty; and go through one of the most empowering and meaningful journeys of my life.

I was very worried and cynical about where to go for help or how to approach this, and I feel like I lucked out like never before - as I in reality more or less randomly applied to an online website and I guess was allocated Dr Maria Valle. She has a very tough and honest but amazing heart, and it was the only way for me to face my demons and, frankly, grow up and become what, I hope, is a decent man.

If you read this, thank you from us all and my newborn the most (I hope!)

Working with Dr. Maria Vella makes you astonished by how much your condition improves.
I was afraid to find a therapist in the UK, because English is not my first language and the different culture background Europe has compared to Asia. But this is not at all an issue when working with Maria.
She has helped me with anxiety, identity problem, alongside with multicultural and life transition issue. Working with her for one and a half year has truly changed me as a person.
If you want a therapist who makes you face the problem with no where to hide, but to solve it. She is the psychologist you are looking for.

Truly excellent service and very professional

Monica was an absolute delight to work with. She was so supportive and empathetic and continually reassured me. I found this an incredibly cathartic experience and after around four months of therapy I came away in a much better place.

Monica has been absolutely brilliant! Can not stress that enough.

Hard to sum up 6 months of sessions in a quick sentence but;

Monica helped take me from a very dark place way past just feeling ok/good but to a point where I have an immeasurably better understanding of myself and a great toolkit to help me to keep going forward positively, especially when challenged.

Would highly recommend Monica to anyone considering asking for support.

Thank you so much!

Michelle was very helpful and created an environment for both of us to be more honest and communicative.

I highly recommend Beverly Clarke! I came to her with several personal and interpersonal issues that were really troubling me. But through our weekly sessions over the past year, she has really helped me to unpack and make sense of these problems, and in the process, I have gained invaluable insights into myself and those close to me. A truly thoughtful and caring professional. Thank you

I came to Dr. Vella struggling to cope with a life situation that was difficult at best and not getting better. On top of that was a looming divorce which threatened to turn everything upside down.

She helped me identify numerous errors in my thinking which had been holding me back and causing significant anxiety.

I began to take responsibility and control for areas of my life where I had previously blamed others and thought myself the helpless victim.

Things had progressed so much that when the worst I could imagine came to pass(a very contentious divorce, with allegations of abuse and more) I was able to face reality, and deal with it as best as could be expected given the circumstances.

Now with what I think is the worst behind me, I can move on with my life, confident in my ability to handle its challenges.

Speaking with Dr Vella during these times was pivotal to me not falling apart.

Excellent service from an empathetic and intelligent therapist. This was a life altering experience for me.
