Home Who We Are

Established in 2017, Steps Together Group is a leading provider of private treatment and therapy services across the UK, offering a unique combination of residential and outpatient support for individuals, families, and employers.

We support those affected by addiction, stress, burnout, and mental health concerns through expert-led treatment, compassionate care, and personalised recovery pathways designed to create meaningful and lasting change.

Our experienced multidisciplinary teams deliver high-quality, innovative services that improve wellbeing and help individuals rebuild their lives, strengthen relationships, and move towards long-term recovery and resilience.

Our Story

Steps Together was founded with a clear purpose: to provide compassionate, effective support that helps people overcome addiction and rebuild their lives.

As a family-run organisation, Steps Together is led by CEO Darren Rolfe, whose own lived experience of recovery is central to the vision and values of the organisation. His journey from personal recovery to founding Steps Together continues to shape the culture, purpose, and passion behind everything we do.

What began as a single service has grown into a group of treatment centres and programmes supporting individuals across the UK. While we have expanded significantly over the years, our core mission has remained the same—to deliver accessible, high-quality care that helps people achieve lasting recovery and improved wellbeing.

Despite this growth, we remain rooted in a family-run ethos, combining clinical expertise with a deeply personal approach that ensures every individual feels supported, respected, and understood from their very first point of contact.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to change lives.

We provide sustainable, evidence-based treatment and therapy services that support individuals, families, and employers affected by addiction, stress, burnout, and mental health concerns.

Our focus is on long-term recovery, emotional resilience, and improved wellbeing—helping people move forward with confidence and hope.

Reset. Reframe. Recover.

Our structured approach to lasting recovery

Taking the first step with Steps Together is simple and confidential. Our expert treatment advisors are here to listen, understand your needs, and guide you towards the most appropriate support. 

We provide a combined clinical and psychological assessment to ensure a fully personalised treatment plan, which may include either residential care or outpatient support across our UK and international services.

Addiction, stress, burnout, and mental health concerns require specialist therapeutic support.

At Steps Together, our multidisciplinary teams help individuals understand the root causes of their challenges and develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving.

Through residential and outpatient programmes, we provide evidence-based support to help people reframe their perspective and build long-term resilience.

Recovery from addiction, stress, burnout, and mental health concerns is a journey that takes time and ongoing support.

At Steps Together, we provide continued care and aftercare support to help individuals maintain progress, build resilience, and sustain long-term wellbeing.

Our outpatient and aftercare services offer flexible access to psychological and clinical support, ensuring the right help is available at the right time throughout recovery.

Entering The Chestnuts was one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was at my absolute rock bottom. I was lost and very damaged.

If anyone is reading this and maybe considering a stay at The Chestnuts I highly recommend it. It was the best money I’ve spent in a long time. So it’s a 6 out of 5 stars from me.
