After eight years as one of the UK’s premier treatment centres, Addcounsel’s relaunching as Harbor is a strategic shift that reflects the decision to redefine its approach to transformative mental health care, transcending the provider’s previous focus on addiction treatment.
Harbor’s transformation extends far beyond a name change. With many years of experience and a deep understanding of its target audience, Harbor’s evolved holistic approach to mental health care reflects its client’s more complex needs.
Paul Flynn, founder and CEO, commented, “This is not a mere rebranding exercise. Over the past 13 years, we’ve honed our expertise, deeply understanding our clientele and their unique needs to create this multifaceted approach. Many of our clients present with complex mental health issues that often exist independently of addiction. As Harbor, we offer the most comprehensive, personalised expert treatment with care programmes curated to meet the needs of our exceptional clientele.”
Unlike traditional residential mental health care providers, Harbor takes a unique approach. Instead of operating from a clinical setting, Harbor’s ultra-high-net-worth and high-profile clients stay in luxurious private residencies in London for the duration of their treatment.
There are no group sessions or other clients, as confidentiality is paramount to safeguard both clients and their families’ reputations. This discreet approach means clients can focus on their healing journey in complete privacy.
Harbor offers personalised, world-class one-to-one care from a multidisciplinary team of experts, including psychiatrists, GPs, specialists, nutritionists, therapists, and addiction specialists, and an empathetic, nurturing, and knowledgeable approach to long-term transformation.
Clients usually come to Harbor when they are at their lowest point, seeking refuge from mental health challenges and their associated difficulties. Clients present with conditions that include mental health issues, addiction, coping with neurodiversity, OCD, ADHD and allied physical comorbidities. With its holistic and personalised approach to treatment and healing, getting to the root of their issues ensures they have a greater chance of achieving long-lasting recovery.
Families grappling with a loved one’s mental health issues find comfort in Harbor’s curated, caring and effective approach to treatment, paving the way for lasting transformation.
Every aspect of each client’s journey at Harbor is designed to ensure that they feel supported and held in a safe space throughout their stay, with compassion, expertise, and empathy at the heart of everything.
After clients leave Harbor, there is an ongoing period of aftercare for individuals and families, which follows a step-care model that includes therapy and reflective practice.
“Our model is based on success. Our goal is to give our clients the best possible treatment available anywhere in the world. We strive to empower clients to build a meaningful life for themselves, whatever that means to them. After their treatment, and after a period of self-reflection, insight and knowledge about who they are, our aim is for our clients to leave Harbor with a framework for lasting recovery, with the tools to cope with life, so they are set up for success going forward”, says Paul Flynn.
