Therapeutic Services

Our practice is always committed to providing therapeutic support tailored to your individual needs. We understand that seeking help is a significant step, and finding the right approach can make all the difference.

At Harley & Chelsea Private Therapy, we believe effective therapy starts with a clear understanding of your unique circumstances and goals. With so many therapeutic approaches available, your journey with us begins with a thoughtful conversation about your current concerns. Together, we will identify the most suitable therapeutic path. From your initial contact, our focus is on creating a space where you feel understood, with the option to speak with the Director of the practice if you have any further queries.

Recognising that each person’s experience is unique, we avoid reductive labels and focus on what matters most to you. Therapy is available in both English and Persian, allowing you to engage in your heritage language for a more comfortable and meaningful experience should you wish.

Wellbeing Workshops

In today’s demanding workplace, prioritising mental health and resilience is not just beneficial, it is essential. Our bespoke workshops are designed to enhance your team’s emotional wellbeing and cultivate a positive, supportive work environment.

Tailored to your organisation, these sessions encourage open communication, reduce stigma, and provide practical strategies for managing stress and challenges. Whether the focus is on building resilience, improving team cohesion, or fostering a culture of support, our workshops aim to create meaningful, lasting benefits for your people and your organisation.
