Why i started the view

Years working in rehabilitation teach you things no textbook can and one of the clearest things I learned is that traditional models simply do not work for everyone.

I kept asking myself what support would look like if it was built entirely around the individual, not around a programme or a group but around one person and their specific situation and their specific life.

Many people who need help never get it, not because they do not want it but because the format stands in the way. The thought of sitting in a group and sharing the most Personal Experiences of their life with strangers is enough to make them turn away completely. Others walk through the door but never fully let anyone in, they go through the motions, say the right things and leave exactly as they arrived. Even in a well run rehab the day is largely built around group work, shared meals and structured programmes designed for everyone and therefore perfectly tailored to no one. Most people do not realise how little actual one-to-one time they will get and how rarely the deeper work gets the space it deserves.


When I arrived at treatment I was terrified and all I wanted was privacy and not to feel exposed around people I did not know. Instead I sat in groups, shared meals with strangers and performed recovery for three weeks. It looked fine from the outside. It changed nothing.

The View is that way out. A private one-to-one programme built entirely around you and your life, no groups, no shared spaces and no one else in the room.


Not everyone recovers best in a traditional setting. The View exists for everyone else.
