About us
Background
Harley Therapy was founded in 2006, with the aim of connecting the public with experienced and committed practitioners working to alleviate emotional difficulties and promote psychological health.
Purpose
As a group we have the following goals:
- To promote psychological wellbeing through education and therapeutic connections
- To represent the profession of psychotherapy and counselling in the highest, yet realistic, light
- To normalise therapy, helping make it as common to seek treatment for our emotional concerns as it is for physical difficulties
Governance
Sheri Jacobson oversees the day to day running of the group and is responsible for maintaining quality standards including health and safety in all of Harley Therapy’s premises.
She is committed to promoting psychological knowledge in the public realm and has teamed up with editor Andrea Blundell to produce accessible Guides in the Self Help section and hundreds of informative articles on the Harley Therapy Blog. This fully researched content is free to read and contains no adverts.
Values
Our core values are:
- A belief in the human potential for change and improvement
- The importance of personal growth and long term health
- The belief that therapy, in a safe and supportive setting, can help us surmount many of life’s challenges
Client Pledge
We align ourselves with the most select group of therapists. They all have a minimum of 5 years experience (most have many more) are fully accredited and insured to practice privately. If there's any reason why you're not getting the most out of your sessions, let us know and we'll do our best to arrange an alternative meaning at no cost to you.
Confidentiality
Whilst we think that engaging in therapy sessions is a sign of strength and something that should be spoken about freely with others, we place a high emphasis on clients' and prospective clients' confidentiality. We have maintained our registration with the Information Commissioner's Office since 2007 (no. Z9901252).
Our Online Booking Form is hosted on a dedicated SSL server page to secure your personal details.
