Trust was broken early on due to lack of clarity of what was to be shared. The Psychologist did not work during summer holidays (were unaware of this when sessions were initially booked), leaving me without support whilst transferred to local CAMHS team. Although I cannot blame the service for the worsening of my eating disorder, there were definitely things that could have been avoided had there been adequate support in place from the beginning of treatment. Anywhere that has “Watch funny cat videos” on their basic care plan is a good indication of the care a patient will receive. As someone who would consider themselves mostly recovered from their eating disorder (and is fully discharged from eating disorder services), looking back on the ‘care’ I received from this service is shocking - especially considering the price. If there’s one thing my recovery has taught me, it’s that even a patient’s loudest screams are unable to be heard as anything other than their “evil eating disorder fighting back”. Professionals seem to be trained to regurgitate the same spiel rather than listening and adapting to what the recipient of the care needs. If you’re looking for support from a service for an eating disorder, do yourself a favour and give this one a miss.

UPDATED REVIEW (2023) PLEASE READ: My original review was specifically about Dr Femke Leathes who WAS the founder and owner of Leathes Psychology. However, Dr Leathes is no longer at Leathes Psychology nor is she affiliated with them in any way. Because of this I CANNOT RECOMMEND Leathes Psychology any longer, in good conscience, given that the reason it was such a great practice has left - Dr Leathes. I personally would be very cautious about seeking mental health care from a practice that is seemingly now operating using the name and reputation of a psychologist who is no longer practising there. So in essence Dr Femke Leathes is an amazing psychologist however she now has nothing to do with Leathes Psychology so I remove any endorsement or recommendation I have made for the clinic. ORIGINAL REVIEW (2020) Truly amazing practice that I couldn’t recommend highly enough! I had received a lot of mental health and psychology input over the years from various professionals with very little progress and very few good experiences, until I came to see my psychologist at Leathes Psychology. I can honestly say that they helped change my life, and it was the first time I had felt truly heard and treated like a human first, I never felt judged or not listened too, or anything other than truly cared for. As someone who had quite complex and serious mental health issues when I first came to the practice, I feel like I was helped to find peace with myself and with true compassion and empathy I was helped to work through my trauma and come to a place where I feel happy with myself and able to cope with life along with having hope for the future. There aren’t words for how truly thankful I am to Dr Leathes for helping save my life.

From the very first email sent, Leathes Psychology were extremely helpful, reassuring, caring and professional. I was assigned a wonderful therapist after a thorough assessment, who gave me invaluable information and techniques tailored to tackle my issues in a way other therapies never had (and other therapists had never bothered to). Over the course of my sessions I tackled my fears head on with excellent support and structure and can now say I am a completely different person, ready to take on whatever life throws at me.

Initial impression was positive until I was placed on a waiting list, told it would take 1-2 months max. Not a problem. Over 7 months later i've not heard anything. They offered a lot but delivered on very little. Not sure if it's the false hope or the £150 it cost that irks me most. Could not recommend based on this

Dr Femke Leathes at Leathes Psychology has been the turn around in my life. She has the ability to listen, truly understand and find ways of helping and coping that has led me onto a more stable path. Her professionalism and care is second to none and I am so thankful that I found her practice. I would highly recommend Leathes Pychology to anyone experiencing any mental health issues as your exeriences and challenges will be carefully listened to before directed to one of the range of clinical pychologists in the practice that would be best suited to your needs. I feel so grateful to have been in such safe hands.
