REFERRALS TO HARBOR HOME

Keep your client.

Gain a team.

There are times when one practitioner or one setting is no longer enough. Harbor Home places a coordinated multidisciplinary team around the individual, while protecting the professional relationships already in place.

Care can extend across home, clinic, community, and online settings. Whether you’re a clinician, GP, private adviser, or education professional – speak with us confidentially about the person you support, and whether Harbor could be the right next step.

FOR COMPLEX CASES

When someone needs more than fragmented support

A person may need more clinical intensity alongside an existing therapist, more structure after residential care, or coordinated support across mental health, substance use, neurodevelopmental needs, and physical health.

Harbor Home brings these moving parts into one coherent programme: handpicked clinicians coordinated around the individual, clear responsibilities, regular review, and a defined next step if needs change.

NOT A DIRECTORY OF SERVICES

One consultant. One case manager. One plan.

Harbor Home is multidisciplinary, programme-based and formulation-led. A named consultant provides clinical oversight; a dedicated Case Manager coordinates the programme; and the wider team is built around what the individual actually needs.

Psychiatric, psychological, medical, functional, and wider life circumstances are considered together, so prescribing, therapy, coaching, family work, and other interventions sit within one plan, with regular review and clear communication throughout.

BUILT FOR PROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION

How we work with referrers

Psychiatrists & therapists

Keep your client. Gain a team.

Some clients need more clinical capacity than one practitioner can safely provide alone. Harbor Home adds the wider team and infrastructure while allowing your therapeutic relationship to continue.

With the individual’s agreement, your input can continue to inform care, with the Case Manager coordinating around the relationship already in place.

Private GPs & concierge medicine

A consultant-led MDT behind your practice.

Where needs have become more complex, we place a consultant-led MDT behind your practice. Medical, psychiatric, and functional needs are considered together, with clear clinical ownership and communication.

Shared care remains the principle. You stay informed and involved while Harbor holds the additional clinical complexity.

Family offices & private client advisers

One team, one point of contact, absolute discretion.

When a principal or family member develops a complex health need, Harbor Home provides one medically led team and one Case Manager, with care designed to flex around the realities of the individual’s life.

For advisers, we provide a clear line of accountability without asking you to assemble or manage the treatment network yourself.

Education & university consultants

Whole-person care around study and adult life.

For young adults, difficulties in study can sit within a wider picture involving ADHD or autism, mental health, substance use, burnout, or day-to-day functioning. We bring those strands together within one multidisciplinary programme.

Neurodevelopmental care sits within a whole-person formulation, not an assess-and-prescribe model. Under-18 enquiries can be directed to appropriate specialist provision.

“Harbor Home adds capacity without breaking continuity.”

INDICATIONS

When we can help

Several needs are starting to overlap.

Mental health, substance use, neurodevelopmental, physical health, family, or functional concerns may all be affecting one another.

Conventional outpatient support isn’t sufficient.

The individual may need more frequent contact, greater clinical oversight, or care beyond the consulting room.

A clinician needs more infrastructure around the case.

We can add multidisciplinary capacity without replacing established therapeutic relationships.

Care needs to work around real life.

Home, work, education, travel, or family circumstances may make a fixed-location model impractical.

The family or wider system needs support.

Where clinically appropriate and agreed, we can incorporate structured family or relational work. 

A clearer safety net is needed.

Planned review points and agreed escalation routes provide a clear next step if needs intensify.

I would like to thank Harbor from the bottom of my heart for saving my partner’s life. My partner was near death from his addictions. You have given my children their dad back. I am forever grateful.
Alcohol Addiction
We were lucky to have found Harbor at a very difficult time when other facilities deemed his case too complex to take on. From the very first phone call, [they] were empathetic, listened, and immediately offered to help.
Complex Mental Health
We wholeheartedly recommend Harbor for their exceptional mental health services. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to their patients are commendable.
Mental Health
Thank you for helping me get my strength and confidence back. I will never forget this experience and I wish each and everyone all the happiness and blessings.

NOT AN APPOINTMENTS SERVICE

Clear clinical boundaries are part of good care

We do not offer:

  • Single psychiatry appointments
  • Prescription-only or titration-only services
  • Standalone therapy hours
  • Isolated assessment without next steps
Complex needs rarely improve in isolated hours. So prescribing, therapy, and everything else sit within one programme, held by people who understand the whole picture. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so – and help you find who is.

FAQs

Yes. Where clinically appropriate and with the individual’s agreement, existing psychiatrists, therapists, GPs, and other professionals can remain involved. Harbor Home is designed to add capacity around established care, not automatically replace it.

Communication is agreed according to the individual’s consent, your professional role, and clinical need. Relevant professionals receive updates at appropriate points through assessment, review, and transition or discharge.

Where Harbor Home is the appropriate route, care begins with multidisciplinary assessment and formulation. This allows the team to understand the whole picture before recommending the programme, intensity, and setting that are clinically appropriate.

You do not need to determine the final setting before referring. If assessment indicates that residential treatment would be safer or more appropriate, we can discuss that pathway.

Yes. A family member, adviser, or professional can begin with a confidential conversation about the situation and possible next steps. Any subsequent clinical engagement is managed through the appropriate consent and assessment process.

No. Neurodevelopmental assessment and treatment sit within a broader whole-person programme where clinically appropriate. Harbor Home does not operate as a standalone assess-and-prescribe or titration-only service.

Harbor Home is an adult service. Where an enquiry concerns someone under 18, we can help identify an appropriate specialist route.
