Eleanor’s Story:

“TLC gave me my peace back. I didn’t think that was possible.”

Eleanor came to TLC overwhelmed by anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. She had spent years high-functioning on the outside but struggling deeply within. At TLC, she found a safe space where she could slow down, reflect, and finally start healing. The team’s kindness, consistency, and professional insight helped her reconnect with herself, and her future.

“For the first time in years, I felt calm. TLC didn’t just treat the addiction—they helped me find clarity, confidence, and calm again.”

Ame's Story:

"I've put as much effort into my recovery as I did into my addiction..."

My experience at TLC was really good. I have been to a couple of rehabs and this is by far the best. The fact it is therapy based is so important, which I have not found before. All the staff have been great and I was particularly impressed with Rachel. Not too many people, which is good and an emphasis on exercise is great. Overall I am very happy with my experience. – Ame

Tim’s Story:

“There’s something in the air here, people genuinely look out for each other.”

Tim describes arriving at TLC disoriented, emotionally drained, and unsure what lay ahead. But from the moment he walked through the door, he felt something different: eye contact, warmth, and people who truly cared. The culture of compassion at TLC, he says, is both tangible and healing. Whether in the first foggy days of recovery or deep into the programme, he always felt supported.

“You come in broken, but this place restores a sense of dignity and direction.”

Jonathan's Story:

“TLC Rehab saved my life.”

“I came in thinking two weeks would be enough…
Now, 11 weeks later, I know it was the best decision I ever made.”

When Jonathan arrived at TLC, he planned a short stay. But as the days passed, something shifted. The compassionate counselling, the structure, and the feeling that he truly belonged gave him the confidence to stay longer and go deeper in his recovery.

“TLC Rehab saved my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but it’s the truth. If you’re struggling, if you’re scared, unsure, or think it’s too late, please know that it’s never too late. There is help, and there is hope.” – Jonathan

Iggy’s Story:

“I thought I’d just detox and leave, but I ended up staying, growing, and healing.”

For Iggy, coming to TLC was initially just about getting through detox. But as the days passed, he began to feel something shift. The team made him feel safe, seen, and human again. Group therapy became a space for breakthrough moments, and staff encouragement helped him face difficult truths with honesty. What started as a short stay became a turning point in his life.

“TLC didn’t just help me stop. They helped me start over, with purpose.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a member of Staff at TLC, and as a person with a background working within other rehabs, mental health wards, as well as being a counsellor, I can honestly say TLC brings all the best qualities of each, and always strives to bring them together.

I can see each member of staff bring their all to this service, and this naturally starts from the top. The managers hired people with the same aspirations as them; to help people, to make a positive difference for people, and to guide people through this challenging chapter within their lives. This is all possible because of strong managers, but most importantly, the people behind that title itself - just as we; Counsellors, Nurses, Support Workers, Cleaners, Chefs, and etc, have been hired not only for our professional expertise, experience and knowledge, but because of the people we are behind the title.

We do not forget we are people with a desire to help - just as we have clients - we never forget they are people too, and all they need is a little guidance, compassion, and support.

TLC is one of the best places I have worked for, and definitely the most Human.

Thank you TLC, and may we continue to grow!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Promises made re my eating not met. So small everyone isolated when I hoped for company. Accommodation standard poor - floors not vac - plug sockets behind beds, drawers hard to open, tiny towels ... had to ask for a side light, tv if not subscribed to services won't work. Little therapy, too much "down time" ... people go here for help not a break - staff lovely and best intentions but no way this will help

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at TLC is one I’ll never forget. It’s such a special place, run by some of the most caring people I’ve ever met. I've built real connections with every member of staff who supported me in my recovery, especially Rachel my recovery mentor and therapist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been to a few rehabs and what's made the biggest difference for me this time was the Clinically Led 24-hour Care. My detox felt safe, and my health was closely monitored the whole time. Knowing I was in good hands gave me peace of mind.
