ABOUT US

Having barely survived the government’s Covid policies, our company has been reborn from the ashes of the Doctor Richard Mackarness Foundation.

The Foundation was named for the late Dr Richard Mackarness, who was a leading specialist National Health Service Consultant in the UK. He developed cutting-edge techniques for controlling addiction, at Basingstoke District General Hospital. He subsequently went on to establish the Pleasant View Clinic for addiction, for the State of Victoria Health Commission in Melbourne.

The Foundation was established in 1991, initially to provide Dr Mac’s clinical treatment for smoking cessation. Since then, we have gone on to provide hypnotherapy and acupuncture for smoking cessation as well, under our National Stop Smoking Centres banner. We are the largest private provider of such therapy in the UK, with more than 200 branch therapists throughout the country.

Our re-launch is concerned primarily with establishing clinics through the country to provide Dr Mac’s treatment for smokers, under the banner “The Dr Mackarness Method”.

In due course, we will also be launching the Method for alcohol and other substances.
