​​

Treatment Philosophy & Team

​

• The clinic is run by a small, dedicated team who emphasise their skill set demonstrating professionalism, experience, ethics, safety, confidentiality, and bespoke care, which moves you towards your treatment goals.

​​

• We specialise in helping clients apply what they learn in real time, supporting continued responsibilities (work, family) rather than being removed from life entirely and placed in a controlled and false environment. 

​​

• RTT® combines hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP, and psychotherapy to address subconscious emotional drivers of addiction and binge drinking. 

​​

• If medically supervised detox is needed, we will advise on suitable external services rather than proceed unsafely.
