Testimonials and our success stories

Rebekah and Alistair have worked together in private practice for many years now. In that time, they have built up thousands of hours of treatments and have successfully worked with countless people. We are extremely grateful to the contributors of this page - their kind words mean more to us than we can say. There have been countless more over the years both verbal and written but we felt a small selection would be best. We are eternally gratefully to all our former and current patients and clients who have worked to solve their problems and who have been generous enough to ask us to guide them in their vital life-changing journeys. Our thoughts, best wishes and love go out to them all.

"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."

"I have known Rebekah now for two 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."

"I first contacted Alistair when I realised that I needed some help to move on from some things that had happened in my life over the previous few years. The sudden, unexpected death of my father coupled with a huge failure of trust from my partner left me an emotional wreck, unable to see light at the end of a very long tunnel. I had vaguely coped with all of this due to the kindness and support of my very close friends but I knew the time had come to consult an expert. I immediately felt at ease with Alistair and my visits to him became a healing time for me. Plenty of tears - I used up many boxes of tissues - but never any judgements, just reassurance that it is good to cry and talk. Over the weeks, I started to feel that the burden I was carrying was starting to ease. The focus moved on to me, my self-esteem, my dreams for the future and how I could go about reaching them. I began to feel enlightened after our meetings; the burden of grief and hurt not disappearing, they probably never will, but definitely easing. My close friends could see a real lightening of spirit in me and this also helped me to move on. Alistair has helped me so much over the last few months. He has not only helped me with the two huge issues I have been battling with but has helped me look at myself and the future. There have been many tears but also many laughs! Alistair has made a huge difference to my life and if you need someone to guide you, he’s the man!"

"I have known Rebekah Rhind for six 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."

"After I had made a number of unsuccessful attempts with other therapists to control my alcoholism I was recommended to the Freedom Therapy Clinic with Alistair and Rebekah Rhind. Their approach was innovative and powerful and they knew 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."

"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 six 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 and Rebekah personal, friendly and honest – great people to deal with, genuine and upfront - 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 and if I was found wanting they provided it - 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 and Rebekah and their professional addiction services because they are a friendly personal, professional, bespoke service; well-priced, and above all affectionate caring and successful."
