RECOVERY COACHING FOR PROFESSIONALS

You can be functioning well and still know something needs attention.

You can be functioning well and still know something needs attention.

Work may still be getting done. Other people may not see a problem. From the outside, very little may appear to have changed.

But you may be drinking or using more than you want to. You may be spending more energy managing it. Or you may simply know that something has shifted and want to understand it better.

You don’t need to decide what to call it before we talk.

WHY PEOPLE WAIT

Sometimes asking for help feels bigger than the problem itself.

Sometimes asking for help feels bigger than the problem itself.

For someone with a career, responsibilities and a life that still looks much as it always has, talking honestly about alcohol or drug use can feel as though it might set something in motion.

Treatment. Time away from work. Disclosure. A diagnosis. A label. Other people becoming involved.

Those may be appropriate considerations for some people. But having a conversation does not commit you to any of them.

Clarity can come before decisions.

PRIVATE, INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT

The work can fit into the life you already have.

Recovery coaching is one-to-one and practical. We can look at what is actually happening, what you want to change, and what kind of support might be useful.

That could mean stopping, cutting back, reducing harm, preparing for treatment, returning to work or home afterward, or maintaining changes you have already made.

I work independently. My role is not to steer you toward a particular treatment centre, program, fellowship or predetermined outcome.

The direction belongs to you.

WHAT WORKING TOGETHER CAN LOOK LIKE

Support can be straightforward.

Regular conversations

One-to-one meetings to look clearly at what is happening and what you want to do about it.

More contact when useful

More frequent check-ins and greater availability can be arranged during periods when additional support would help.

Practical support

Work, travel, relationships, routines and difficult situations can all be part of the conversation.

Treatment and returning home

If treatment becomes part of the picture, I can help you think through the options and support the transition back into ordinary life.

IF IT FEELS USEFUL

A conversation doesn’t commit you to anything.

The initial conversation is free. You can tell me what is happening, ask questions, and decide for yourself whether working together makes sense.
