Question 1

What is sobriety coaching and how can it help me?

Accepted Answer

Sobriety coaching is a forward-focused, practical approach to help you rethink your relationship with alcohol and build a calmer, more confident life. Unlike therapy, it doesn't dwell on the past — it focuses on developing real strategies, new habits, and self-awareness to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Question 2

What is grey area drinking?

Accepted Answer

Grey area drinking describes the space between occasionally having a glass of wine and being alcohol-dependent — and it's where many women quietly find themselves. You might not think you have a 'problem,' but alcohol has become a way to cope, unwind, or switch off. If you're questioning your relationship with drinking, you're already in the right place.

Question 3

What's the difference between sobriety coaching and therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapy typically explores past experiences, trauma, and psychological patterns — and it has real value. Coaching is different. It's strengths-based, action-oriented, and focused on where you're going rather than where you've been. If you're ready to make changes and want practical, compassionate support to do it, coaching is likely the right fit.

Question 4

Do you only work with women?

Accepted Answer

While the majority of my clients are women, my coaching is open to anyone. My approach is inclusive and always tailored to the individual — whatever your background or circumstances.

Question 5

Do you work with people who are alcohol-dependent?

Accepted Answer

No — individuals with alcohol dependency require a specialist level of clinical care that falls outside the scope of coaching. I work with people who are sober curious, in early recovery, or simply ready to make healthier choices around alcohol. If you're unsure whether coaching is the right fit, book a free discovery call and we'll talk it through honestly. If you need specialist support, I'm happy to point you in the right direction.

Question 6

Can I work with you if drinking isn't my concern?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While I specialise in alcohol-free coaching, I also work with clients on confidence, mindset, stress, burnout, and navigating life transitions — whether or not alcohol is part of the picture. If you're ready to feel clearer, calmer, and more in control, coaching can help.

Question 7

What services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I offer a range of coaching support including: 1-2-1 Coaching — personalised, confidential sessions tailored entirely to you; The 100-Day Reset — a group coaching programme running from Sober October through to the New Year; Masterclasses — focused sessions on confidence, stress, and alcohol-free living; and Online Coaching — all sessions are available virtually, so location is never a barrier.

Question 8

How much does coaching cost?

Accepted Answer

1-2-1 coaching is priced on a bespoke basis, tailored to your individual needs and the level of support that's right for you. The 100-Day Reset group programme is £650. Book a free discovery call and we'll find the right fit together — no pressure, no obligation.

Question 9

Do you work online or in person?

Accepted Answer

Primarily online via Zoom, which means I work with clients across the UK and beyond. Occasional in-person sessions may be available — get in touch to discuss.

Question 10

How long does coaching take?

Accepted Answer

Every journey is different. Some clients notice a shift within a few sessions; others benefit from ongoing support over several months. There's no fixed timeline — we work at a pace that feels right for you, with the focus always on sustainable, lasting change rather than quick fixes.

Question 11

Is coaching confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely. Everything discussed in our sessions stays between us. The only exceptions are legal or safeguarding obligations — for example, if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. Your privacy, trust, and growth are my absolute priorities.

Question 12

What qualifications do you hold?

Accepted Answer

I hold a Life Coaching Diploma, Confidence Coaching qualification, and DISC Practitioner certification — all from The Coaching Academy. I'm also an NLP Practitioner, IPHM accredited, and a Sober Club accredited coach. Before moving into coaching, I spent 33 years working as an NHS professional, and that experience informs every aspect of my compassionate, trauma-aware approach.

Question 13

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Book a free discovery call — it's a relaxed, no-obligation conversation to explore what you need and whether coaching feels like the right next step. You can book directly via the website or get in touch through the contact page.

Question 14

How do I hear about upcoming offers and masterclasses?

Accepted Answer

Sign up to the newsletter to stay up to date with upcoming masterclasses, group programmes, and new offers — including the next 100-Day Reset cohort.
