Trauma
Time and space to talk through difficult experiences, past or recent, with professionals who understand how trauma shapes the way we think, feel and react.
Trauma, rehabilitation and behaviour issues
Haven Residential House
A private residential centre in the mountains outside Málaga, where adults can step away from everyday life and work through what they are carrying, at their own pace.
Three areas of care
Every programme at Haven is built around the person in front of us. These are the three areas we work in.
Rehabilitation
A calm, steady routine away from the pressures of home, with regular one to one sessions that help you rebuild structure, confidence and healthier habits.
Behaviour Issues
Support to understand the patterns behind anger, avoidance or other behaviour that is affecting your life and relationships, and to start doing things differently.
Adult programme
Psychotherapeutic & Behavioural Health
A structured residential programme for adults working through trauma, anxiety, depression, dependency and behaviour that is holding them back. Proven, evidence-based therapy is at the heart of every day, in a small house where nobody is just a number.
Recovery built around how people really heal
Real change rarely happens in one hour a week in an office. At Haven, the work carries on through the whole day: in one to one sessions, in small group work, around the kitchen table and out walking in the hills.
Away from the triggers and pressures of home, you have the time and the quiet to understand what has happened to you, why you react the way you do, and what you want to do differently.
Our team combine talking therapies with practical, everyday skills, so you go home with tools you can actually use, not just insight. With never more than six clients in the house, every programme is shaped around the person, not the other way round.

Mind and body
Active recovery through movement & the outdoors
Mind and body recover together. Alongside therapy, days at Haven include mountain walks, time in the pool, gentle exercise and plenty of fresh air and Spanish sunshine.
Physical activity lifts mood, eases anxiety, helps with sleep and gives each day a healthy rhythm, which helps the work done in sessions take hold.
