Arinder Sadrha

Arinder Sadhra is a Recovery Manager at Harbor whose work covers addiction and dual diagnosis, as well as work with families.

She has around 20 years of experience designing and running group and one-to-one sessions for adults and young people. Her clients include senior executives and people in the entertainment industry.

Arinder’s work also draws on her own recovery: she has been clean and sober for nearly 20 years.

Professional Background & Qualifications

Arinder holds a BA (Hons) in Acting from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

She went on to spend more than ten years working as an actor in theatre and on screen, and that background now shapes the creative side of her recovery work.

Professional Experience

Before her acting career, Arinder worked as a support worker and group facilitator in NHS mental health services and the voluntary sector, supporting people affected by addiction and dual diagnosis. She also has experience in systemic family work, which examines how relationships within a family affect each person.

As well as individuals, Arinder has worked with couples and whole families, and she has experience supporting clients who are autistic or have ADHD.

She has also worked in private treatment centres in Switzerland, managing cases where clients’ personal or professional lives require complete privacy.

Approach to Care

Alongside coaching and facilitation, Arinder brings creative practices into her sessions, drawing on drama and voice work as well as breathwork, movement and writing. These methods help clients notice patterns in their lives and reconnect with their bodies and their voices.

Drawing on her acting background, Arinder also helps people revisit the stories they tell about themselves and let go of old scripts that no longer serve them.

Rather than following one fixed model, she adapts her approach to each person,
