Alcohol recovery is one of the most private and personal journeys a person can take. At Rethink Drink, we understand that while the results of The Sinclair Method (TSM) are life-changing, most clients aren’t comfortable going public with their experiences—and rightly so. Confidentiality, trust, and a safe space to recover are vital to what we offer.
Let’s explore why client reviews are both essential and complicated in the context of alcohol recovery, and how we maintain transparency without ever compromising client privacy.
Why Reviews for The Sinclair Method Matter
Client reviews help others make informed decisions. They provide reassurance, offer insight, and validate the effectiveness of the approach. But with alcohol use disorder, the stakes for privacy are much higher.
Here’s why reviews are so important:
Builds trust with new clients exploring TSM as an option.
Provides social proof that the method works in real-life situations.
Inspires hope by showing real change is possible.
Differentiates Rethink Drink’s compassionate, science-led approach from others.
The Privacy Challenge in Alcohol Recovery
For many individuals, alcohol use disorder is tied to shame, stigma, and complex personal histories. Sharing a review can feel like a public admission—something that doesn’t align with their current lifestyle, personal boundaries, or even their family or career dynamics.
Here are some common concerns:
Fear of judgement from employers, peers, or social circles.
Desire to keep recovery private, especially if others are unaware of their struggles.
Worry about digital footprints, especially with names linked to sensitive content.
Need for discretion, particularly for professionals in the public eye.
How Rethink Drink Protects Confidentiality
At Rethink Drink, we don’t ask clients to step into the spotlight. Instead, we invite feedback on their own terms. When reviews are shared, we ensure they are anonymised and completely GDPR-compliant.
We follow these confidentiality practices:
Anonymised initials or first names only, never full identities.
No imagery or voice recordings of clients without full, explicit permission.
Secure data handling, in line with the UK GDPR and ethical best practices.
Consent-first approach to any use of testimonials.
