How I can help
Personalised, one-to-one support from someone who has been there.
‘Working with Ellie has been transformational.’ - Helen
When you work with me you’ll receive:
regular, in-depth one-to-one sessions
WhatsApp or email support in-between sessions
a space of compassion and complete non-judgement
an opportunity to reflect on the real reasons you’re drinking
guidance and ideas based on my personal experience and knowledge
clear, actionable steps on how to change your relationship with alcohol
Prices are listed for each of my coaching packages - starting at £350 for the 30 Day Journey, and from £599 for three months of support.
If you choose to work with me, it will be a truly collaborative partnership. I trust that you are the expert on yourself and you know what is best for you. Together, we’ll uncover what you really want for yourself, how you can get there, and co-create a sober toolkit to support you on your journey.
I’d love to find out more about you.

Experience & ethics
I’ve been free from alcohol since December 2019
I’ve been coaching for two years now and my clients achieve fantastic results
I have been volunteer peer mentor for Sober Mom Squad and Women Who Don’t Drink
I am an Alcohol Change UK volunteer and Parents for Future UK volunteer coordinator
I have monthly supervision to ensure I am upholding ethical standards and providing the best service to my clients. I previously benefited from guidance from Stephanie Chivers and now receive support from Mandy Manners.
I abide by The Sober Code ethics
I’m fully insured and DBS checked
I am not able to work with people who are physically addicted, and carry out thorough, free assessments of between 30 minutes and up to an hour. This is not a quick sales call: it’s a chance for me to get a clear picture of how much you’re drinking and how often and take into account any risk factors. If I have concerns I may talk to my supervisor and/or recommend you have support from your GP who can refer you to appropriate services.
I am also not trained as a therapist. I’m trauma-informed and a compassionate listener and space-holder, however I cannot support people to process trauma or work with people who are struggling significantly with their mental health. We will talk about this together on your free assessment call and it may be that therapy or other support is a better route for you.
I never pressure anyone to work with me and give you plenty of time and space to make a decision that’s right for you. Before working together and any payment has been made, we both sign an agreement clearly explaining what you are paying for. You have a 14 day cancellation period if you change your mind.
My coaching approach
It's important to be aware that sober coaching is not therapy or counselling.
Rather than focusing on the past, we’ll look at where you are now, where you want to get to and how you can get there. This is a partnership, where I will support you by holding space for you and helping you discover the right path for you to reach your sobriety goals.
You can read more about me, my story and my approach on my Substack publication Soulful Sobriety.
I don’t believe that willpower, restriction, shame or guilt are helpful on this journey.
I do believe that curiosity, courage and making sobriety your number one priority are key to making it stick.
I believe that all the answers you are searching for and all the power you need is already within you. My role is to help you connect to your own power, and guide you on this journey with fierce compassion. There is no judgement here.
I know what it’s like to feel trapped and powerless over alcohol.
And I know what awaits you on the other side: a life filled with hope, love and true presence.
You can get to a place where, rather than feeling deprived, you are completely free from your desire to drink. This means looking at what alcohol is actually doing to your body and mind, questioning beliefs you have formed around alcohol, and getting curious about how it’s really affecting you.
This isn’t about giving up something great - this about breaking free from a substance that’s causing you harm, and stepping into the life you’ve always wanted. This is true freedom. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
