Specialist Chinese-Speaking Mental Health & Addiction Support
Whether you’re arriving in the UK as a student, entrepreneur, or with your family, life in a new country brings both opportunity and unseen pressures.
Many navigate these quietly – balancing cultural adaptation, academic or business performance, family expectations, and deep-rooted stigma around seeking help.
Among Chinese nationals in the UK, over a third are likely to experience a mental health or addiction issue. Yet concerns around shame, privacy, or reputation often prevent early support.
At Harbor London, we provide luxury, individually tailored care for Chinese-speaking individuals and families - supporting the full spectrum of mental health and recovery needs, facilitated by native Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking clinicians.
The Harbor London approach
Mental health treatment
For many Chinese migrants – especially older generations – emotional distress is often expressed through physical symptoms, with little familiarity with Western mental health frameworks.
We treat a wide range of mental health challenges - including depression, trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and burnout - with clinical depth and cultural insight. Our private, one-to-one residential programmes offer the option of full Mandarin or Cantonese-speaking clinical support, shaped entirely to your needs.
Addiction recovery
Addiction often begins in silence – born from stress, isolation, or overwhelming pressure. In recent years, challenges such as gaming, technology, or substance misuse have become increasingly common among Chinese young adults and professionals alike.
Harbor offers discreet, medically-led detox and rehabilitation in central London. Every programme is personalised and delivered by a hand-picked team, offering round-the-clock care in complete privacy. We focus on unearthing root causes, alleviating shame, and restoring autonomy – always with sensitivity to cultural values, visibility concerns, and family dynamics.
Eating disorder care
Eating disorders are rising across Chinese communities, often remaining undiagnosed due to cultural silence, academic perfectionism, or social stigma.
Harbor provides calm, private recovery for anorexia, bulimia, and other disordered eating. Our luxury residential programmes are delivered one-to-one, in your own space, with optional bilingual therapeutic support throughout. Everything is grounded in emotional safety, dignity, and a deep understanding of your world.
Neurodiversity
support
We support individuals navigating ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergent experiences, helping them live with greater ease, structure, and confidence. For many, a neurodivergent diagnosis brings new understanding.
Our programmes blend Western clinical insight with cultural sensitivity – respecting the values, expectations, and identity of each client.
Support is never generic. Every plan is shaped to the individual; not to a label.
From the moment you enter our care, every element is designed around you.
We operate a strict one-client-at-a-time model. No group settings. No shared spaces.
