Addiction recovery coaching
Successful long term recovery requires strategy
The success of maintaining recovery long term lies in our daily behaviours and mindset. It's a lifelong practice, and requires hard work, commitment and discipline. It takes time, patience and perseverence. In return, it can give you a life of joy, meaning and purpose.
I provide coaching for individuals who are seeking a supportive, proactive therapist to stay aligned to what they want to achieve in life and ensure they maintain intentional, strong recovery. This includes identifying and overcoming challenging barriers to recovery, including stigma, shame and stress.
Why support is essential
Addiction affects everyone in the family system.
Individuals
Recovery coaching will provide you with much more than just confidential support; it’s an opportunity to focus on making positive decisions in all areas of your life, of which recovery is the absolute foundation stone.
Without recovery, everything else falls away.
Family & Friends
When we know someone struggling with addiction, our own lives can be fiercely affected. More often than not, the family and friends of an addict are absorbed into the chaos, pain and deception, and life can become highly stressful and unmanageable.
The person addicted isn't the only one suffering.
Who is addiction recovery coaching for?
The wolf mentality is the practice of being brave, strong, taking ownership of your life and going for what you want and deserve.
Addiction recovery coaching is effective when you
- have just finished a rehab program
- are under pressure in your executive role
- are looking to strengthen your recovery journey
- are feeling ‘wobbly’ and overwhelmed with too much on your plate with work, family life and recovery
- have a loved one suffering with addiction and need some support yourself.

Approach
One-to-one coaching.
As your recovery coach I will help you identify your blind spots or triggers, and work with you to develop and strengthen a set of tools to keep you on track, even in the most challenging situations. I’ll also be there to ground you with support, guidance and accountability for when things feel tough.
While recovery from substance use is the primary focus, I address your whole life, encompassing health and wellness, self-care, and coping skills.
My method includes evidence-based psychological and behaviour change methods, and neuroscience. I do not ascribe to one particular pathway – my approach honours individuality. I tailor our work together using a range of strategies for the best outcomes.
I help you dive deep into your purpose, your ‘raison d’être’, and your motivation for your recovery journey. This helps you work out what you want, most importantly why you want it, and what could be stopping you, before we create a plan of action together.
Therapy
Your subconscious mind controls 95 percent of your life.
Today’s science estimates that 95 percent of our brain’s activity is unconscious, meaning that the majority of the decisions we make, the actions we take, our emotions, and our behaviours depend on the vast majority of brain activity that lies beyond conscious awareness. This modelling dictates our behaviour, confidence, self-esteem, resourcefulness, emotional state, resilience, values, morals, ethics and, fundamentally, our reality and the boundaries of who we are.
The aim of my therapy sessions is to help you develop more self awareness and reduce suffering in your life, in place finding ways to feed your good wolf and lead a life of purpose, meaning and joy.
