Start Recovery

Mark's easy going, non judgmental, free flowing sessions have allowed me open up and deal with my issues without having to feel the need not to divulge all of my feelings/issues. His non regimental / textbook approach allows for a free flowing non intrusive discussion which always takes the weight off my shoulders and sets me up to deal with living instead of being afraid to.

I reached out to Mark about 6 months ago as I have a very close friend that was really struggling with alcohol. He had tried local addiction services and AA but was getting nowhere with his recovery. He seems to have turned a massive corner in understanding his Demons, and has learnt the tools to overcome the cravings, when life becomes overwhelming. He's a new man, im eternally grateful. Thank you Start Recovery!

My experience of Start Recovery has been absolutely incredible and it has formed the corner stone of my own personal recovery. When I first came to see Mark I was in a really bad way. Having suffered several spectacular relapses I just didn’t know what, if anything would work to help me live the life that I wanted to, but couldn’t seem to manage.Marks knowledge and experience made him very easy to connect with straight away and it really felt that he knew where I was at. He is very easy to talk to and by sharing some of his own experiences and with his guidance it has enabled me to start down the path of my own choosing.I am so grateful to have happened upon someone that has given me the strength and understanding I needed when I needed it the most. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Thanks Mark!

Mark has been the most amazing support to me. He has listen and understood every thought and feeling and taught me that I do have the inner strength and ability to change my life. I honestly can not recommend highly enough.

Had my first session last night and I already feel positive about life onwards and upwards mark is a lovely guy and does not judge I highly recommend

Mark saved my life. He has always found a way to explain the difficulties around what I was experiencing and his calm manner and tranquil surroundings helped me overcome my internal struggle. If you’re wanting help then look no further. It will be the best thing you can do

Mark provides an excellent service, he really understands the issues involved, conveys them well and has been instrumental in my own recovery.

With Mark's help, I have managed to work out a successful strategy to deal with some long term issues that have held me back from staying clean and sober.

It took me a long time to find the courage to finally seek help and talk to someone. I felt quite nervous and embarrassed goin into my first meeting but mark is a nice guy and these feelings didn’t last long. He doesn’t judge and is easy to talk to which made it easy for me to open up. With marks help I am now in a much better place in life, healthier and happier. Best thing I ever did. Would recommend 100%

Breaking free from the cycle of binge drinking has been completely life changing for me. Mark is absolutely brilliant; it's such a relief to speak to someone who just totally understands; who doesn't judge; and who can offer strategies and tools that really work. I feel as though I've been given a 2nd chance at life. Thank you.
