Priory Wellbeing Centre Harley Street

Mental health difficulties can have a hugely detrimental impact on your psychological, emotional and physical health, and can significantly impair your ability to function effectively on a day-to-day basis. Our mental health treatment specialists at Harley Street understand that without timely, effective and professional help, mental health challenges can worsen over time, leading to a broad range of long-term, negative consequences, and can even result in the development of co-occurring mental health problems.

At Harley Street, we recognise that all of our patients are different and have unique mental health challenges. Therefore, we are dedicated to placing our patients at the heart of treatment, developing comprehensive and individually tailored treatment programmes, as opposed to taking a ‘one size fits all’ approach. We are proud to be able to provide an extensive range of services for both adults and young people, looking to receive the finest mental health offerings available.

• Depression

Mental health in the workplace is a prominent issue in today’s society and is especially pertinent in the context of modern city living. Work pressures such as excessive workload, organisational change and lack of job security, can cause individuals to feel stressed and can lead to long term mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

Our Harley Street experts are able to support individuals who are experiencing mental health issues in the workplace, or those who are off work for a period of time due to their mental health, helping them to manage competing demands, reduce stress and depression, and maximise their wellbeing, self-esteem, confidence and performance.

Mental health problems cost UK employers approximately £30 billion per year in employee absence, lost production and replacing staff. As such, Harley Street also welcomes enquiries from employers and businesses looking to promote a culture of positive mental health within their organisation and ultimately, help their employees to better manage their mental health at work.

We are able to offer a broad range of therapies at Harley Street, which are specifically selected and tailored according to your unique requirements. Our therapies include:

• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)
• Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR)
• Mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT)
• Psychodynamic counselling
• Interpersonal therapy (IPT)
• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
• Compassion focused therapy (CFT)
• Cognitive analytic therapy (CAT)
• Schema therapy
• Integrative counselling
• Occupational psychology coaching
• Family and marital therapy
• Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)

Choosing to self-fund

There are many reasons why people choose to pay to receive specialist outpatient treatment at Priory Wellbeing Centre Harley Street. It may be because local NHS providers have long waiting times and insufficient capacity, or do not offer the specific mental health/addiction treatment that you need. Alternatively, you may simply prefer the peace of mind of receiving expert care and rapid access to established treatment, from the UK’s leading independent provider of mental healthcare and addiction services.

At Harley Street, we are able to book flexible outpatient appointments at a time that is convenient for you, with the guarantee that we can deliver outstanding mental health support, with the most positive outcomes. For more information on how to commence with expert treatment, contact us today via email or by calling: 0800 188 4193.

Using your private medical insurance for mental health and addiction treatment

The Priory Group is a registered and approved provider for all of the UK’s leading private medical insurers, including Bupa, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna, WPA and AXA PPP.

If you have access to private medical insurance, either personally or through your workplace, your policy may require you to obtain a GP referral before undergoing treatment with Priory, so please check this with your provider. We will need you to provide your insurance policy details at the time of booking your initial consultation, so that pre-authorisation may be agreed with the insurance provider. In addition, different policies cover different levels of care, so for any queries, it is advisable to contact your insurer, or our dedicated Harley Street admissions team on: 0800 188 4193 who will be delighted to assist you with any questions that you may have.
