FEEDBACK FROM DR MARK FLYNN, (Clinical Psychologist), on working at HARLEY THERAPY (2012-current):

"Following nearly 15 years' working as a NHS Psychologist across a wide range of posts and settings, I applied to join Harley Therapy (HT) after observing its excellent reputation and online pre-eminence among London-based private psychotherapy services and following strong recommendations by some close NHS colleagues who were already working at HT's locations.

Working with HT has allowed for a high degree of autonomy where clinical decision-making and therapeutic approach are concerned, and considerable freedom from those seemingly ever-increasing administration duties that characterize NHS work. I now feel that I have the time and space to genuinely think about my clients' needs and plan my sessions accordingly in the context of my skills and ongoing learning. I feel that I'm - finally - doing exactly the kind of work that I initially trained to do, with genuinely diverse clients, in a pleasing environment.

While I have enjoyed the assistance of very many excellent administration teams over the years, I have found HT's team to be the best, by far - and that must be emphasized here. Wonderfully swift and efficient in their approach to tasks, they're also highly sensitive to clients' presentations and the diverse relational issues that can arise in the context of paying for a service. The additional 'load' that they work with by the moment is that of confidentiality - which they manage in a superbly boundaried way."
