The cost of leadership.

Burnout, substance dependencies and mental health challenges seldom announce themselves for those operating in high-performing environments.

Such challenges can be effectively masked by ambition, overwork, and the illusion of control.

In Magda Snowden's latest podcast conversation, our COO Janine McNab shares candid, personal insights on:

- What high-functioning burnout looks like
- Why addiction in leadership isn’t about living life in excess
- The role of psychological safety in recovery and leadership
- How human-centred care begins with human-centred leadership

What does truly effective care for men’s mental health require?

It calls for precision, discernment, and a deep understanding of what lies beneath the surface.

Dr. Daniel Masud, Consultant Psychiatrist at Harbor London, brings decades of experience in treating complex mental health and addiction challenges; including depression, substance use, and ADHD.

In this short video, he shares his perspective on where true hope begins for the men he supports, and what it looks like to restore direction in even the most uncertain chapters.

One of our consultant psychiatrists, Dr Serena Lai, has kindly provided a perspective on the connection between disrupted sleep, stimulant use, and the less visible cycles that reinforce obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Her insights are poignant for those supporting individuals whose days tend to begin with anxiety and end with checking rituals.

Men's mental health is rarely one-dimensional — and neither is care.

That’s why our work can span beyond the walls of Harbor – involving trusted clinicians from across our wider network in order to facilitate the service offering that’s right for the individual in front of us.

Today, we’re joined by Peter Crascall, Clinical Director at Orchestrate Health, to share his reflections on men’s mental health. With over 30 years of experience across residential, community, and private settings, Pete offers a nuanced perspective on what men need most in moments of difficulty.

In this short video, he shares his thoughts on stigma, recovery, and what it really means to help men stay well.

What does safety actually feel like, in trauma therapy?

Safety is a core principle of trauma-informed care but, in practice, it can be assumed rather than experienced.

For those working through complex trauma, a sense of ‘safety’ must be felt, physiologically and relationally.

Shahira Kamal – our Clinical Director – explores this in our recent piece about trauma-informed care – challenging us to go deeper than policy into presence, pacing, and attunement.

Pain doesn’t always show up in ways one may expect.

For many men, it transcends the physical and moves firmly into the emotional and psychological.

This November, we’re spotlighting perspectives from some of our clinical associates on what men’s mental health looks like in the context of real life.

In today’s video, Richmond Stace – our esteemed Pain Coach and Physiotherapist – shares reflections from two decades of work helping men reframe their pain, restore purpose, and move towards meaningful change.

Women hold hormonal changes, family dynamics, personal health, professional identity often without any respite.

We also see the ripple effect: what happens when more than one woman in a household is living through challenging transitionary phases? Support ought never be siloed.

That’s why it’s key to treat stress as a signal, offering a private, precision-led approach for those navigating life transitions – whether perimenopause, fertility challenges, or mental health concerns.

Our Yoga & Massage Therapist, James Chapman, reflects on something that he has found to be truly transformational — when recovery reconnects you to your body, movement by movement and breath by breath, it builds hope.

And hope, as James says, is recovery capital.

Watch James share his approach to working with those navigating their journey to recovery.

Every November, we turn our attention to men’s mental health. It’s a topic that – while improving – remains shrouded in stigma and silence… su***de remains the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK.

This year, we asked some of our clinical associates to reflect on what it means to them, and what they’ve seen bring hope to the men they support.

First, hear from psychotherapist Chris John, whose relational and trauma-informed work with men, couples and families gives him a deeply human insight into what recovery can look like.

When we think about the foundation of stress, it becomes clear that it doesn’t always come from one single source.

And for many of those we treat, it pulls from every direction… family, work, reputation, identity, religion...

Today, we’re spotlighting one story; an individual under extraordinary pressure that became unravelled by the weight of expectation.

See how our team helped them recover not just from alcohol misuse, but from the deep-rooted stress that we discovered ended up shaping it.

Two cultures. Multiple stressors.

For many second- and third-generation Arabs living in the UK, stress can be hard to share even with those most trusted.

The tension between cultural nuance and stigma around mental health can leads to challenges going untreated for years — dual identity can even become a source of stress in itself.

Today, we’re highlighting the cultural dynamics that affect the mental wellbeing of Arab families in the UK, as well as the clinical expertise we’ve built to support them. Take a look at our stories for more.
