Harley Therapy - Psychotherapy & Counselling

What Harley Therapy - Psychotherapy & Counselling does

Harley Therapy is a London-headquartered psychotherapy and counselling platform established in 2006 by Dr Sheri Jacobson. The company operates three physical clinic locations in central London: 10 Harley Street (W1G 9PF), 2-8 Victoria Avenue in the City (EC2M 4NS), and 8 St Thomas Street at London Bridge (SE1 9RS), with online delivery available UK-wide via Zoom and Microsoft Teams and through the affiliated Harley Therapy Platform (harleytherapy.com). Harley Therapy connects self-referred and GP-referred clients with a curated roster of 27 accredited therapists and 4 consultant psychiatrists, all operating as independent practitioners with 10-30 years of experience and credentials from UK professional bodies (BPS, BACP, BABCP, UKCP, HCPC, GMC, Royal College of Psychiatrists). Founders Dr Sheri Jacobson remains active with the organisation.

The service catalogue spans individual psychotherapy and counselling modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, schema, ACT, brainspotting, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, etc.), couples and family therapy, child and adolescent therapy, and a growing assessment and psychiatry line covering adult and adolescent ADHD, autism, combined neurodevelopmental assessments, neuropsychiatry, and pharmacogenetic testing. Corporate wellbeing workshops represent a smaller B2B vertical. Revenue is generated fee-for-service through direct client payment and direct billing to selected private health insurers (Cigna, BUPA Global, WPA, Allianz, April International, CS Healthcare, Standard Life), processed via Stripe; major UK domestic insurers including Aviva, AXA PPP, and BUPA UK are explicitly not accepted. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, driven by organic SEO, paid Google and Meta advertising, and the social-proof halo of 500+ Reviews.io testimonials.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: no proprietary platform, app, or API is offered, and no AI/ML capabilities are referenced. A group structure encompasses Harley Therapy Limited (the operating entity, company number 6185936), Harley Therapy Holdings Ltd, Harley Therapy Ltd, Harley Therapy Platform Ltd, and HT Management Services Ltd, all wholly-owned with ICO registration ZA831962. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, and has not raised external capital.
