What are the benefits of working with us?
Benefits To Crew
-
Therapy can help crew members develop better coping mechanisms, making them more emotionally resilient to the challenges of isolation, long hours, and high-pressure environments.
-
Therapy can foster more open and effective communication between crew members, reducing tension and misunderstandings in close quarters.
-
Even on board, therapy can help crew find ways to mentally separate work from downtime, improving their overall well-being.
-
Regular sessions can provide crew with insights into their stress triggers and patterns of behaviour, helping them make more conscious decisions that enhance their mental health.
-
Reducing stress and improving mental health often leads to better sleep, diet, and exercise habits, indirectly improving physical health and stamina.
Benefits To Captain
-
Mental health support can lead to happier, more satisfied crew members, reducing turnover and the costs and challenges of frequent rehiring and training.
-
A mentally healthy crew is more focused, less prone to burnout, and more productive, ensuring smoother operations and fewer errors.
-
External therapy services can help prevent or resolve conflicts among crew, leading to a more harmonious working environment, reducing the captain's need to mediate.
-
Crew members who are mentally well are more alert and focused, contributing to a safer working environment and reducing risks of accidents.
-
Having an external mental health provider allows the captain to focus on their responsibilities while knowing that the crew’s mental health, especially in crisis situations, is being professionally managed.
Testimonials
Holly
Stewardess, 75m Vessel
“Taking this mental health course in a group setting was an empowering experience. It was conducted by Ryan and Tatjana, who were both incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. Their ability to present the content in a way that was informative, clear, and easy to understand made a huge difference.
From the very first session, being in a group setting helped me realise that I wasn’t alone in what I was feeling. Hearing other crew members share their experiences created a sense of community that was comforting and supportive. Ryan and Tatjana created a safe, inclusive environment where everyone felt heard and valued. We equipped ourselves with practical tools and insights, but we also supported and encouraged one another along the way. There was positive energy and genuine care each session.
This course has had a lasting impact and I’m truly grateful for the experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to better understand themselves, gain new tools, and improve their mental wellbeing.”

“The workshops we did with Haven was incredibly valuable. In the yachting industry, where long hours, isolation and high pressure are often just part of the job, mental well-being can easily be overlooked. The sessions gave us a space to step back, reflect and actually talk about what we’re all going through. It was practical, approachable, and felt genuinely relevant to our day-to-day lives on board. The workshop helped bring awareness to things we often push aside: burnout, isolation, pressure and how to cope with it all. It also opened up conversations among our crew that we’d never had before, creating a stronger sense of support and understanding. I’d highly recommend Haven to anyone in the yachting industry. What they’re doing is so needed!”
