Seasons Hader Group Founder and Clinical Director

Richard Smith

Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), Graduate Diploma Social Science (Drug Dependence)

Richard is the founder of the Seasons Bali and he specialises in addictive behaviour. After 17 years of active addiction, Richard found recovery in 1985. Inspired by his own experiences, he has spent his entire recovery working with addicts, alcoholics and their families.

Richard held various positions in major health care institutions in Victoria, Australia before starting his own facility, the Hader Clinic, in 1997. His vision had always been to create a program that would treat drug and alcohol problems holistically. What started as a counselling practice eventually grew into one of the country’s most respected addiction treatment centres.

Recognising a need for a program that provided a more exclusive service, and having experienced the idyllic surrounds and healing energy of Bali, Richard founded Seasons Bali. Richard is a dedicated and gifted practitioner who has helped many people change their lives.
