I design and deliver group life coaching programmes that support individuals in stable recovery from alcohol and drug addictions to transition beyond abstinence.
While many recovery pathways successfully address substance use, individuals often reach a point where questions of identity, purpose, and direction remain unresolved. This stage can be critical to sustaining long-term recovery outcomes.
My programmes are designed to complement existing recovery provision, offering structured, trauma-informed group support that helps participants build confidence, autonomy, and readiness to engage with meaningful next steps.
I work in partnership with recovery services, charities, and community organisations seeking to strengthen post-recovery engagement and outcomes.
About me
I am a qualified (certified) and experienced life coach, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and timeline practitioner, adult education teacher, peer mentor, group facilitator and Action Learning Sets facilitator. I am committed to my professional development and continually expand my trauma-informed practice.
For a long time, I searched for ‘the thing’ that would give meaning and purpose to my life. While progressing my career in the commercial sector, in Higher and Adult Education and in the NHS, I discovered a vocation and a true passion for life coaching and more specifically for supporting others’ journey of change beyond recovery.
I love travelling, art, music, culture, meeting new people and am an active member of my residents’ association.00

My Programmes
Specially designed to complement (and possibly add to) existing recovery provision, the programmes are trauma-informed and offer a safe, non-judgemental space to encourage openness and peer learning. They are delivered in themed sessions, each building on the other. Mixing group and individual reflective activities, they support participants to:
- Explore the purpose and meaning of recovery beyond substance use
- Understand and work with resistance to change
- Identify personal skills, strengths, and transferable life experience
- (Re)connect with identity and personal values
- Reflect on self-care using the iceberg model of addictions
- Recognise and manage unhelpful beliefs, behaviour patterns, mindset, and self-talk
- Take realistic next steps…
Participants consistently feedback on their increased self-awareness, self-confidence, and readiness to meaningfully engage with and commit to their next steps.
What participants have said
“Delivery of programme was inspiring”.
“Very helpful in regards to shifting the identity of addict and seeing all the other things that make you who you are.”.
“It has been good as a way of reorienting myself after recovery”
