Paul Linley started the charity back in 2011, in Hull with only one client. It's conception of an idea way before it started was possible because Paul had gone through his own challenges and overcame and won the battle of Freedom.
It soon grow fast over the months and years, supporting people with all kinds of addictions, in Hull and the surrounding East Yorkshire; to supporting clients across the globe.
From our humble beginnings of starting with 1 client we now deal with hundreds of referrals on a monthly basis. We needed to change our charity name from RHM Recovery to our current Rhema Recovery a subsidiary of Rhema Counselling Services, to better reflect the workings of our charity, whom support clients and business all over the UK and Internationally.
We've seen challenging times recently, but Rhema has gone from strength to strength. Supporting clients like you!
Our purpose as a charity is to enable people to make informed choices concerning their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
Unlocking your potential, reflects our belief in unconditional acceptance in order to:
Actively empower individuals
Encourage their sense of self worth
Help them realise their full potential
Setting a high standard for ourselves to be professional in all we undertake at all times, and that our staff and volunteers reflect the ethos of the charity.
We value the necessity of working in synergy with others, so we do this through appropriate and feasible feedback and sustained contact with other healthcare professionals.
Rhema Recovery is a value driven charity, originating from a Christian perspective and believing in no compromise on hope for people’s lives no matter what the situation.
We pride ourselves on our ethos of compassion, care, creativity and integrity in all areas of work.
We pride ourselves of showing unconditional love and acceptance to all who seek our help.
To reach as many people we can with hope, that they can be set free from addiction.
The cycle of addiction is problematic and can last for decades, harming families and communities.
Our experience in the addiction recovery sector, of some 20 years, is that the alternatives tend to deal with the only the symptoms of addiction and not the root causes.
For maintained recovery, long-term healing must come to the heart of a person, so we aim to provide the necessary classes and courses that will get to the root of the problems…Rejection, Abuse, Abandonment, Trauma, Loss etc.
We endeavour to provide a non-judgemental environment for anyone that seeks out our help in the UK and the Globe.
