On the Mend is built around a network of over twenty qualified therapists and somatic practitioners. Harry — who founded the programme after his own years of nervous system dysregulation and recovery — is here for support and guidance. The clinical work is done by the specialists below.
We work with over twenty accredited practitioners, and you are matched with the ones who fit your presentation. A selection of them are below. Their careers span NHS psychological services, secure and charity settings, private psychiatric hospitals including The Priory, and specialist private practice. Between them they have decades of experience with chronic pain, persistent physical symptoms, long Covid and the psychological impact of long-term health conditions, which is the specific ground this programme works on. Harry, who went through his own years of dysregulation and recovery, is present throughout for coaching and support, but is clear that the professional team are the heart of what makes this work.

Harry founded On the Mend after years of nervous system dysregulation — driven by perfectionism, chronic stress, and high-performance pressure long before a viral illness tipped things into full breakdown. That culminated in a week in hospital in 2024 following a silent meditation retreat. He built this programme because the support structure he needed didn't exist.
He's not a therapist. His role is to be present — as someone who has been through what members are going through, who understands the terrain from the inside, and who is available throughout the week via WhatsApp to answer questions, help with pacing decisions, or just to be there when things feel hard.
The clinical work is done by the practitioners below. Harry is clear that his recovery wouldn't have been possible without the support of trained professionals — which is exactly why he built a team of them.
