Therapies

Holistic Therapies as part of a Comprehensive Treatment

At Harley Row Clinic, psychological intervention plays a crucial role in promoting mental health. The practice uses a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques to improve mental health and enhance well-being. 

‍

Every patient will be seen in clinic to set their specific goals, interventions, and strategies, and address their unique needs, and moving forward treatments can take place virtually or face-to-face, depending on your treatment plan. The ethos of our practice is to provide the highest quality of care, in a relaxed, unrushed atmosphere, personalised to each patient’s needs.

‍

Counselling and Psychotherapy

[Link] Counselling and psychotherapy, sometimes called talking therapy, are umbrella terms that cover different types of talking therapies.

‍

There are many benefits to booking private talking therapy with a therapist or counsellor. Harley Row Clinic’s counsellors and psychotherapists are trained professionals who can work together with you to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, make sense of your world, and help you manage and resolve emotional distress through exploring your feelings and thoughts, ultimately improving your quality of life in the process.

‍

Therapists can be trained in various methods, therapies or ‘modalities,’ and they may practise in a variety of ways with patients. Harley Row Clinic is constantly expanding and has over 13 clinicians, each brought into the team because of their unique specialities and disciplines. We can help you find the right therapist and the right therapy for you. We have trained professional clinicians who have expertise in a variety of psychological treatments and therapies:

‍

• Compassionate Inquiry, an integrated therapeutic approach
• Humanistic/Person-centred Psychotherapy
• Psychodynamic Therapy
• Anthroposophical Psychotherapy

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy 
• Play and creative arts therapy.
• Trauma-Informed Psychotherapeutic Counselling
• Somatic-based Expressive Therapy
• Interpersonal Neurobiology Informed Counselling
• Polyvagal informed Counselling

‍

We can make recommendations, and help you find the right therapist, and individual therapy tailored to your individual needs. You will get the most effective outcomes from therapy sessions if you are open and honest with your therapist and express how you truly feel.

‍

Couple, Family and Group Counselling

When you attend group therapy, having the support of other group members going through the same experiences as you in a group therapy setting can make a world of difference.

‍

As relationship dynamics, communication and shared challenges all have a role to play, the Harley Row Clinic team also delivers couple, family and group counselling, a variety of educational workshops, and provides coaching for parents and families of young patients. 

‍

Coaching can help family members fully understand their child’s diagnosis and equip them with techniques to help their child thrive.

‍

Mindfulness Training, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

[Link] Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, also known as mindfulness CBT, is a therapy that combines traditional cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) with mindfulness. When combined with CBT, the increased awareness gained from mindfulness-based approaches is used to change our thought processes and inform our choice-making, liberating us of old and limiting mental habits. It can help with depression and anxiety, and other mental health troubles.  

‍

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a treatment which supports the identification of negative thoughts and limiting patterns of behaviour – supporting progression towards healthier habits. Mindfulness is the practice of training attention and awareness, in an attitude of self-acceptance and compassion. 

‍

Neurofeedback therapy

Neurofeedback therapy is an approach that teaches you the way your brain functions. Guided sessions involve using non-invasive monitoring equipment to monitor your brain’s activity. Our qualified practitioner can help you understand your triggers and suggest ways to consciously improve your body’s unconscious state through somatic calming exercises. Neurofeedback can help with a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It can be a helpful companion to psychological interventions like mindfulness training or psychotherapy. 

‍

Brainspotting therapy

Brainspotting is an alternative therapy approach that accesses trauma stored in the body through using spots in a patient’s visual field. Sessions involve finding ‘brain spots’ where your eyes naturally focus when you feel the most physical discomfort. Our trained practitioner will accompany you on this journey, and help you to find a different perspective on your trauma. Brainspotting helps move your body, and mind, out of a ‘stuck’ feeling, and can help with anxiety, attachment issues, PTSD, chronic pain and addiction.  

‍

Coaching for ADHD and autism

The [link] coaching provision we offer at Harley Row Clinic is part of a truly holistic treatment path, founded on the belief that a multidisciplinary approach is the most effective method to help you successfully manage your ADHD or autism symptoms. 

‍

Our holistic coaching service empowers you tend to your inner life and to confidently navigate the world.

‍

Therapy facilitates emotional healing, personal growth and enhanced levels of mental health and well-being. Coaching addresses challenges, leading to the creation of solutions, action and change.

‍

Harley Row Clinic’s coaching combines both therapy and coaching for the most effective treatment. Our clinicians use psychoeducational principles to arm you with a deep understanding of your diagnosis.

‍

This helps you understand why your brain works in certain ways, and how best to utilise it. Our coaching centres you, and we see neurodiversity as part of the rich fabric of life, not as a defect.

‍

Life Coaching

At Harley Row Clinic, we believe you are the expert in your own life. The goal of our Life Coaching service, led by [link to bio] Simon Walter, is not to keep you dependent on sessions, but to empower you to become self-sufficient. The essence of coaching lies in guiding individuals towards personal growth, resilience, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and autonomy.

‍

Simon uses a transparent approach that focuses on fostering long-term growth. The sessions can include collaborative goal setting, by identifying aspirations, defining achievable objectives and creating a roadmap for success. Simon can share resources that facilitate your ongoing development such as books, articles, podcasts, or workshops.

‍

Regular assessments allow us to measure your growth and identify areas of improvement. It is important to celebrate successes as acknowledging your achievements, both big and small, can cultivate confidence and self-belief.

Where does this fit in with my treatment?

‍

Harley Row Clinic’s approach to treatment goes beyond symptom suppression, combining psychological intervention (therapy, counselling, coaching), medication, and functional medicine (gut health, lifestyle, and nutrition) to focus on long-term, lasting results.  

‍

Every patient benefits from the collective minds of the practice’s clinicians, to ensure they are carefully matched to the right specialist for their care. We have a collaborative team that can encapsulate all elements of your treatment pathway. This eliminates the consuming process of communication between individual facilities, departments and providers, ensuring the highest possible standard of confidential care.

‍

Here at the practice, we are very pleased to offer such a facility in which interventions intersect perfectly – to provide you with the life-sustained skills to achieve your innate potential, all under one roof.

‍

Our three-fold, truly holistic approach can make a profound difference in your life. The combination of medication, if appropriate, to manage symptoms; and addressing underlying causes through functional medicine and psychological intervention in the form of therapy focuses on long-term, lasting results.
