Client Testimonials

Every aspect of the treatment was perfect from start to finish. After being introduced to the wonderful team I was given time to settle in before we commenced the life changing course.

In terms of the treatment, the course was very well designed, with the bulk of the material consisting of the Life Success by Design Course, which helped me immensely in finding my light at the end of the tunnel and also, more importantly, the steps I’d need to take to achieve my goals and desires. Bearing in mind I arrived believing there was nothing that could bring me joy in life, this was a TREMENDOUS step forward, one I never thought possible. The treatment was also perfectly tailored to my needs, with fantastic support provided for all of my problems.

Addiction support was on hand to help me with my horrendous drugs problem, medication was provided to aid with my sleep anxiety, and any other issue was that I identified with my mental health throughout the course was swiftly explained and handled by the team. All of this was also interspersed with meditations, and Jayne’s ‘Rewind’ was quite incredibly revealing and quite frankly life changing.

They have a veritable wealth of knowledge, and no matter how much of a tangent my mind would take me on they would immediately appear with a new diagram or booklet to help me understand what I was going through. I honestly couldn’t recommend the treatment enough, and that’s without mentioning the occasional day trips we’d make for seaside walks; what better place to start your recovery!

In terms of the team who run the course, I’ve never met more welcoming, more friendly or more experienced therapists. Having gone through an arsenal of previous therapists and psychologists, none of which had managed to help me in the ways that I needed, I was amazed with their knowledge, personality and contagious enthusiasm, and it felt like at every stage I was divulging my problems on eager ears who really wanted to help me as much as possible. Vicki assured me she only works with exceptional people, and let me now assure you in turn she is absolutely right. From Charlie the spiritual ‘Life Guru’ (for want of a better word), to Jayne and Corina with their wisdom and toolbox of solution, to Vicki the one who helped me hang in there when I was at my worst; I couldn’t have hoped for a better team to take me through the transformative week. All of these qualities are shared by each member of the team, they really are all as fantastic as each other!

I arrived with very little hope, with this course being the one last roll of the dice I was willing to take before I ‘clocked out’. After the week was up, I wouldn’t have been able to recognise myself from the beginning of the course. This course gave me something I never thought possible – a sense of direction and purpose as well as the tools to deal with the all-consuming monster inside my mind.”

I was tired. So, so tired.

Tired of the lying, tired of the hiding, of the hangovers, of the anxiety, of THE FEAR.

I was battle weary.

I knew I needed help but I’d been here before and sought my ‘help’ through the NHS and AA. It was a tough journey and one I didn’t really want to do again. It was cold and it was hostile and obviously it didn’t work in the long run. There must be another way… and then there was.

My partner found out about Equilibrium, a home detox service.

I was apprehensive at first, who are these people? What will they do? Will it work? Again, THE FEAR. But I knew I wanted out of the endless misery that my drinking had become and I knew Equilibrium had helped others so I was prepared to give it a shot.

The ‘Dream Team’ (as I now refer to them) arrived one cold, dark December evening. We talked through the process and about me and about what we wanted to achieve. We agreed we would start the next day. They were kind, understanding and supportive.

The detox consists of a combination of medication and education. Medication for the actual physical symptoms of detox and education to help you on your path to sobriety.

Over the next few days, we worked together. Using various methods they helped me understand my addiction and taught me vital techniques to help me with my ongoing journey.

Many months on I am happy, healthy and most importantly sober. Not gonna lie there are still difficult moments, but I use what I have learnt with Equilibrium and the moments pass as quickly as they arrive.

Equilibrium taught me there is a way, a future, a hope, they taught me to love myself and furnished me with the tools to achieve. We are in contact a lot and I know they are there for me if I ever need them.

Equilibrium gave me a gift, they gave me my life back and I’m totally over the moon about it!”
