What happens next
First, we talk.
A call, a text, or a video conversation. You'll get a sense of the fit — I'll get a sense of what's going on.
If it fits, we meet. Usually a walk, a coffee, or somewhere quiet.
That's it. No intake forms, no waiting list.

ABOUT NORMAN
When something has to change, but you’re not sure where to start.
I’m Norman Fox, a private recovery coach in Vancouver.
I work with people questioning their drinking, drug use, or addictive patterns — professionals who need a confidential place to talk before things get more complicated. My work is built on lived experience, direct conversation, and practical next steps. I can help you find life beautiful again.

WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE
How I can help
Discretion. No treatment forms, no group sessions, no explaining yourself to a system.
One-to-one. A confidential place to talk about alcohol, drugs, or addictive patterns — without stepping away from your work or your life.
Clarity. We look at what's happening and figure out what actually fits your life. No diagnosis. No script.
Clear rates. You'll know the structure before we meet, so the first conversation stays focused on you.
How I Can Help
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.

ABOUT NORMAN
For when something has to change,
but you’re not sure where to start.
We start with a conversation — simple, direct, and focused on what’s been happening.
We can meet for a walk, a coffee, by phone, or by video. 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 having someone you can reach when things start to feel off.

I help you look honestly at what’s happening, find some structure, and make decisions that fit your life. I don’t diagnose, and I don’t tell you what to do.
You don’t need to have all the answers to start.

ABOUT NORMAN
For when you're not sure — but you know something has to change.
First, we talk. A call, a text, or a video conversation. You'll get a sense of the fit — I'll get a sense of what's going on.
If it feels like the right fit, we schedule a first meeting — usually a walk, a coffee, or somewhere quiet and comfortable.
It starts with a free conversation. Sometimes that is enough to help you breathe a little easier.
