Private alcohol change coaching for professional women

There’s never been a better time to join the increasing number of women who are breaking up with alcohol and discovering the best version of themselves.

If you’re curious about trying out sobriety, see if any of these feel true for you:

- Not sleeping well

- Drinking despite plans not to

- Drinking more than you intended

- Having regrets after drinking

- Not performing to your full potential

- Drinking alongside stress

- Conflicting thoughts about alcohol

- Not feeling like your best self

I understand how it's easy to get stuck, and how difficult it can be to not drink when we have a society that normalises alcohol.

Finding connection and unwavering support for your decision to cut down or take a break from drinking can make a positive difference from day one. If you’ve tried to break up with alcohol before, you might already know that you want to do things differently.

I can offer a calm, supportive space for you to pause, think and work through how to make impactful changes aligned with how you want to live your life.

I bring a combination of three decades experience as a senior nurse, an understanding of high functioning stress, training in alcohol change, and certification as a life coach.

Coaching helps you to make life choices that will work for you. This kind of support will help you to make meaningful changes to your life so that you can focus on doing more of what you love.

What is grey area drinking?

We don’t need labels here, but it’s helpful to recognise patterns of drinking that fall within the scope of coaching.

At some point we realise that alcohol is no longer giving as many benefits, and we are more aware of the problems it is responsible for.

For many women, the impact on sleep is a significant downside, for others the increased anxiety is most noticeable. Despite knowing the risks, it can still be challenging to relax, socialise or manage stress without the comforting routine of having a few drinks.

Grey area drinking is an informal term often used to describe drinking that doesn't fit someone's idea of alcohol dependence, but no longer feels comfortable or in keeping with how they want to live. Drinking may be shifting towards the mid zone of alcohol use.

If you‘re not happy with your drinking and how it’s affecting other areas of your life, but feel it’s difficult to make a significant change, coaching could be the right level of support for you.

Benefits of coaching

With personal experience of midlife sobriety and a career in nursing, I coach with compassion, patience and respect.

I am trained as both a sobriety coach and a life coach.

This means I can offer you coaching for alcohol change and life coaching to help you maximise the opportunities that an alcohol free lifestyle open up for you.

This will create space for confidence and courage to make the change you wish for, in a way that works for you now and in the future.

I work one one and also offer small group coaching three times a year. These exclusive seasonal groups take place in January, October and July.

Professionalism

Scope of practice

Professionalism

My work as a coach is private, and independent from my employment as a nurse/nurse teacher. As a registered nurse I only work within my scope of professional practice (Nursing & Midwifery Council code of conduct).

Confidentiality

Scope of practice

Professionalism

I understand why privacy and confidentiality are important. You can trust that our sessions together will be private and confidential, providing a non-judgemental space to explore your choices.

Scope of practice

I am a trained coach, not a therapist or mental health practitioner. I do not offer coaching to people with alcohol use dependency, acute withdrawal or those in need of addiction recovery support.
