What Others Say

About Addiction Freedom Therapy

Carly S. London

I didn't need AA or NA but desperately needed to do something to change the downward spiral my life was taking. Alistair's no nonsense and very honest approach enabled me to comfortably open up and re-address all the problems that were making me turn to drink and drugs.

His encouragement of self-helping oneself and with realistic goals was a welcome relief to the textbook rules of other alcohol/drug programmes.

Finding Alistairs number on google was a turning point in my life and would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of improving their quality of life and happiness.

Before I finally asked for help my pride and big headedness got in the way – if only I had seen it before, but that is alcoholism!

Alistair and Rebekah helped to breakthrough that; with skill, professionalism and a warm hearted approach they helped me through the blackest point of my history and now 6 years on I can honestly say that I haven't looked back since those days

No one likes the idea of asking for help, most of all me. Alistair and Rebekah did a great job in helping me over that initial hurdle. They were great fun, genuine and loving. I would totally recommend them – brilliant people – could never ask for better.

Without a second thought Alistair and Rebekah adapted to me and my needs, this isn't a package deal treatment profile, these are professionals using professional and proven methods to treat one of the world's most serious and baffling diseases, but they did it with love and a sincere desire to help me and I felt that right from the start.

I found Alistair & Rebekah personal, friendly and honest – great people to deal with, genuine and upright, you know exactly where you stand at any point.

You might baulk at the cost of treatment, but it was the best money I have ever spent (and I have spent a bit !!)

Alistair and Rebekah are great – they adapted to my needs, If I was found wanting they provided it, and they would go at my pace, I wasn't just a number or a statistic – I was a person that they genuinely cared for and wanted the best for.

I warmly recommend Alistair & Rebekah and their professional Addiction services because they are a friendly personal, professional, bespoke service, well priced, and above all affectionate caring and successful.

Alistair Rhind has been instrumental in helping me recover from the most traumatic period in my life. My sessions with him have been very special and sacred.

His approach is sensitive yet real; an intuition and outlook on life that is refreshing and has really helped me to face my many demons.

Alistair is one of those people in life that I am glad to have met. I would highly recommend Alistair to anyone.

Initially I wasn't sure what the problem was, and why I felt so anxious and afraid. A friend mentioned co-dependency and the symptoms rang alarm bells. I was aware that I had a habit of attracting partners that were emotionally unavailable and addictive tendencies but I didn't realise that a lot of other people struggled like me. I knew I needed information and some sort of help and guidance.

I was looking for answers and I spoke to a number of addiction counsellors mainly at addiction clinics. I was unsure of what I needed and was searching for answers. I came across Alistair Rhind's Freedom website and what he said sounded like me. When I took the plunge, called and spoke to Alistair in person, things began to make sense.

When I spoke to Alistair on the phone he seemed to immediately understand what I was saying and helped me make sense of what was happening in my life and why I was feeling this way I was. I have found Alistair to be a calm relaxed person with a unique style of working and I immediately knew that I was in safe hands. He is extremely grounded and genuine and his knowledge and years of experience helped me understand my problems quickly.

He has a way of asking the right questions at the right time that helped me to understand myself and he seems to know just when to challenge me to help me move forward. After each session I learned something new and I felt like I understood myself more which helped me improve how I felt and how I behaved. I seem to have left the old me behind

Alistair has high level of skill, knowledge as well as genuine kindness and empathy. I have already recommended Alistair to a couple of my friends and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone struggling to understand and cope with their life problems.

After I had made a number of unsuccessful attempts with other therapists to control my alcoholism I was recommended to Freedom Therapy with Alistair Rhind.

The approach was innovative and powerful and he new exactly how to approach my particular problem and sort it out.

I have not had a drink now for over 10 years and my life has changed for the better in many ways. I owe it to their unfailing support and wisdom.

Alistair is not just a great therapist and an amazing human being but a wonderful teacher or, as I prefer to describe him, a Guru.

When you meet someone like Alistair, change is inevitable. You may not know what form it will take or when it will happen but it will. The hardest thing would be to try to stop it.

I only have one regret in all my time that I've known Alistair; not trusting him 100% from the very beginning, but that was my story. Who knows how different yours will be?

I have known Rebekah Rhind for 6 years and in that time she has helped me enormously to overcome my severe depression.

During that time my self esteem and confidence have reached new heights.

Rebekah has understood my difficulties that I have had to face, she has helped me move forward to a happier, healthier new life.

Without her there would have been no light at the end of the tunnel.

I cannot thank Rebekah enough for giving me my life back again.

I've known Alistair for almost 20 years.

I went into treatment (for chronic alcohol & drug addiction) in Jan '86 and lasted for three weeks until I was given a "therapeutic discharge" ! I reached my rock bottom in September of '86 and that was when I started seeing Alistair.

I don't think it's any exagerration to say that he was instrumental in saving my life, along with AA. He helped me to see why I was how I was, why I felt the way I did & why I felt and acted the way I did. He helped me to gain clarity in my life, for the first time.

I've been clean & sober since Sept '86 and my life has continued to improve in every way, despite some very difficult & painful episodes along the way.

I have no hesitation at all in recommending Alistair as a counselor.

Alistair is warmhearted, reassuring and fantastically down-to-earth. He has a rare gift for cutting straight through to the root of your problem. I've seen many therapists and counselors over the years, and he's one of the best. I really can't recommend him enough.

Loren. London

Sometimes we all need to be reminded that life is a journey, and that it can be as beautiful or ugly as we decide to make it for ourselves. Alistair helped me find a way forward when I had closed all of the doors in fear of my life experience.

He is as open and warm a human being as you could hope to be in the presence of, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for helping me to embrace the unknown and find the present moment again.

I have known Rebekah now for 2 years. She is an exceptional psychotherapist and has made a huge difference to my life. I first saw Rebekah when a friend recommended her to me. I was struggling with one particular issue in my life. Rebekah took me on an 'unravelling' journey which has completely changed the way I feel about myself and life. I now enjoy life and am able to achieve whatever I set my mind to – I value myself now and believe I do deserve the best in life. I can't say thank you enough to Rebekah.

Rebekah's style is both gentle and strong. She knows when to push and when to hold back. Her questioning and diagnostic skills are excellent and she seems to understand so much from so little information. She challenges, supports and listens. Above all she makes you feel very normal and gives you hope when you feel really low – she even manages to make you laugh when you least expect to!

I would recommend Rebekah to anyone for any problem whether big or small – she really does make a difference.
