OUR ALTRINCHAM SERVICE
Private outpatient treatment for alcohol and drug use
Cheshire Sobriety Clinic offers private, outpatient treatment programmes for problematic alcohol and drug use, including binge drinking, combining talking therapy with RTT® hypnotherapy. Our consulting rooms on Altrincham High Street are convenient for Hale, Bowdon, Sale, Timperley, Lymm and South Manchester, and we also see clients in Alderley Edge and online.
Sessions are led by John Wilkinson, who has 27 years’ experience in drug, alcohol and mental health services, and Dr Shyra Raj, a medical doctor and certified RTT® practitioner. We offer four levels of treatment, so you can choose the support that fits where you are.

WHAT TO EXPECT
How treatment works
-
A complimentary, no-pressure 30-minute consultation with John Wilkinson, to talk through your situation and the options that may suit you.
-
Four levels of treatment. Programmes 2, 3 and 4 combine individual therapy sessions with John and two 2-hour Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) sessions with Dr Shyra Raj, which aim to address subconscious emotional triggers and include two personalised hypnosis recordings to listen to each day for 21 days. Programme 1 includes one hypnosis recording.
-
A holistic, biopsychosocial approach that considers the whole person, including mind, body, emotions and lifestyle, and aims to address underlying causes rather than only the behaviour.
-
Aftercare is included in the Full Treatment Programme and the Private Client Programme, and ad hoc sessions can be booked if you would like further support after your programme ends.
OUR APPROACH
How we work
We are a small team who aim to offer a compassionate, professional and confidential service, tailored to you.
-
We aim to be clear about costs, what each programme involves and what you can expect.
-
We support you to make changes at your own pace, with the tools, insight and support you need.
-
Your care comes first, ahead of profit.
Because treatment is outpatient, you can carry on with work and family life and put what you learn into practice straight away.
If you need a medically supervised detox, we will advise you on suitable external services rather than proceed unsafely.
