Dr. Sharad Haridas

I’ve worked as a Psychiatrist for over 14 years across London’s public and private sectors, and now having returned to my hometown of Singapore, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide spectrum of challenges, from depression and anxiety to trauma, addiction, and neurodevelopmental conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

‍

What’s always stood out to me is how deeply personal recovery is. No two stories are the same. I believe in taking time to really listen, to understand someone’s unique journey, and to offer care that is both clinically grounded and deeply compassionate. My approach is holistic. I look beyond symptoms and labels, focusing on the whole person, their mind, body, and environment.

‍

I’ve developed a particular interest in working with people who are facing both mental health difficulties and challenges with substances or behavioural compulsions. In my experience, addiction often speaks to pain that hasn’t yet been fully heard. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where that pain can be understood and transformed.

Outside of my clinical practice, I’m passionate about research and education. I was the principal study doctor on a pioneering psychedelic study at Imperial College London, exploring the effects of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) on the brain. I’ve also taught medical students at University College London. I’m deeply interested in the connection between lifestyle factors such as nutrition, gut health, intermittent fasting, and mental wellbeing. I believe in integrating the best of neuroscience, medicine, and lifestyle approaches to support lasting recovery.

At The Winslow, I’m proud to be part of a team that values dignity, respect, and whole-person care. I’m here to walk alongside my clients, not to fix them, but to support them as they uncover their own strength, clarity, and resilience.
