Last year I was traveling in Australia and needed to see a therapist, and I was blown away with how lovely the woman I saw there was. I can't remember her name but her kindness was astounding. I had little money, and she was willing to cut her price in order to help me and I just wish I was able to stay in the area in order to have continued to see her. I hope she gets this feedback as she really was one of the kindest therapists I've seen

Highly recommend Harbour Therapy Clinic. The director is not only an incredible therapist, she is a caring and dedicated professional. Rowena has a very holistic approach and offers support all the time, at any given time. I have been on my healing journey with her for years now, and i can easily say i would never be where i am today if i didn't have her. She cares so much and that shows in the attention and care she shows to her clients.

The utmost rudest, unprofessional and biggest man-hater Ive ever encountered. The director is sure to turn your children against their father and fully without knowing the entire situation.
Theyll even go AGAINST FCCA orders and letters from solicitors that clearly stipulates that the child cannot have any interaction with a treating professional, without prior consent. Understanding she isnt very professional, but still is talking to children without consent from the father. Absolutely narrow-minded, unprofessional, rude and a complete man-hater. I would NOT recommend you see the director
