Understanding Your Journey

At Real Life Recovery Co, I know there’s no one-size-fits-all route to recovery. I have several ways of working and offer compassionate, down-to-earth counselling that’s shaped around you, your needs, at your own pace. I aim to help guide you back to a happier, healthier version of yourself.

Lived Experience, Real Understanding

I understand the challenges you're facing because I've been there myself. As a lived experience counsellor, I've successfully overcome alcohol addiction and have spent several years counselling others. My approach is focused on empathy, practical tools that actually help, and a solid understanding of the psychology and the social stuff that sits behind addiction.

More Than Just Counselling

I can work with you in a traditional counselling style, where you lead the conversation and bring up whatever feels most important. I won’t give advice or tell you what to do. My role would be to help you dig into the nitty-gritty of what is really driving your alcohol or substance use.

I can also work with a more coaching-style approach. This would be more direct, focusing on the here and now: offering more motivation, a bit of accountability, and practical goal-setting to help you move forward.

Alternatively, we can use a mixture of both. I understand that different people need different things at different times.

 

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Ready for a different relationship with alcohol or drugs? I’m here to help. I provide a supportive, confidential space where you can explore what’s really going on and shape a recovery plan that works for you—not a one-size-fits-all version. No pressure—just support, understanding, and a focus on what’s next.
