CONSULTANCY Services

Private healthcare consultancy

Expert client acquisition

International referrals (UK-US)

We offer specialist consultancy services to US-based private healthcare providers seeking to connect with UK clients in need of high-end mental health, medical, and addiction treatment. With deep expertise in UK healthcare trends and an extensive network, we help organisations develop effective referral pathways, optimise patient engagement, and expand their international reach.

Our consultancy is built on a hands-on, collaborative approach that drives long-term success. We apply a strategic understanding of healthcare systems to support providers in bridging the gap between UK clients and US treatment centres. By addressing structural, cultural, and logistical challenges, we enable organisations to enhance accessibility and impact in an evolving global healthcare market.

As demand for mental health services continues to grow, increasing awareness, reduced stigma, and advancements in treatment are shaping the sector. Barriers such as workforce shortages, shifting regulations, and the need for integrated care solutions create challenges in service delivery. Our consultancy helps US providers navigate these complexities, ensuring UK clients can seamlessly access the right treatment while providers maximise their service potential.

With a strong reputation in the UK private healthcare sector, Harley & Chelsea Private Therapy offers valuable insight into client behaviours, market trends, and referral pathways. Our consultancy ensures that US-based healthcare providers not only expand their reach but do so in a way that is seamless, ethical, and aligned with the highest standards of patient care.

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.
