ABOUT NORMAN
A recovery coach who understands both sides of the conversation.
I’m Norman Fox, a private recovery coach in Vancouver.
I work one-to-one with people who are questioning their drinking, drug use, or addictive patterns and want a confidential place to talk before things become more complicated.
My work is grounded in lived experience, careful listening, and practical support. This is not treatment, therapy, or a program. It is a private working relationship built around honest conversation, steady support, and the clear next steps.
Recovery coaching gives you a private place to talk honestly, pay attention to what’s been happening, and find a clear way forward.
No waiting rooms. No rigid program. No labels or public record.
Just steady support, practical guidance, and real conversation — built around your actual life.

You might recognize yourself here
You’ve started to question your drinking or drug use
You don’t need a plan yet. Just a place to talk honestly about what’s been happening — and what you’re starting to notice.
You want to make a change — but not step away from your life
We work one-to-one, in real time — around your schedule, not inside a program.
You’re looking for steady, private support you can rely on
Consistent, practical support — conversations that help you stay oriented when things feel uncertain.
After a relapse — or when old patterns return
We slow things down and look at what’s happening — without judgment — so you can decide what comes next.

How I can help
We start with a conversation — simple, direct, and focused on what’s been happening.
We can meet for a walk or a coffee.
What we talk about stays between us — no records, no HR, no insurance involvement.
If we decide to keep going, we stay connected. That might mean regular meet‑ups, check‑ins, or simply having someone you can reach when things start to feel off.
I help you look honestly at what’s been happening — at your own pace.I don’t diagnose.I don’t tell you what to do.
The work is about paying attention, finding clarity, and making decisions that fit your life.
You don’t need to have all the answers to start.
Start with a free conversation — by phone or video anywhere in Canada or worldwide — in person in the Greater Vancouver area.
What people say after they start this work
I reached out to Norman about six months ago — and we’ve been working together ever since. He’s been an absolutely phenomenal part of my recovery journey — supportive, understanding, and incredibly easy to talk to.
Our conversations never feel forced; he’s a great listener and has become a true friend along the way. I’m very grateful for the guidance and perspective he’s brought into my life.

You don’t need to have this figured out
You don’t need to have everything figured out before we talk.
Most people start that first conversation unsure of what to say or where it might lead. That’s okay.
We talk about what’s been going on, what you’re noticing, and what feels uncertain. There’s no pressure to explain everything perfectly — and no expectation that you already have answers.
Visiting Vancouver for work, family, relocation, or an event?
I also offer private recovery support for visitors to Vancouver.
If you decide to keep going, we take it one step at a time — at a pace that works for you, in a way that fits your life.

What people say after they start this work
How I can help
I offer private, one-to-one conversations for people who are starting to question their relationship with alcohol or drugs — without stepping away from their lives or committing to a program.
My role is not to direct or diagnose, but to help you look at what’s been happening, honestly and at your own pace.
This is steady, practical support built around real conversation — not waiting rooms, not rigid programs, and not something that gets passed around.

BEFORE WE TALK
You don’t need to have this figured out

That’s okay. We talk about what’s been happening, what you’re noticing, and what kind of support might actually work.
I'm Norman Fox
a professional recovery coach in Vancouver
If something isn’t working, we can take a clear look — together.
I work one-to-one with people who are starting to question their relationship with alcohol or drugs, but don’t want to step away from their lives to get help.
You may have work, family, routines, and responsibilities already in place. From the outside, things may look fine. But something has shifted — and trying to manage it alone isn’t quite working.
Recovery coaching gives you a private place to talk honestly, pay attention to what’s been happening, and find a clear way forward.
