‘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 advice based on my personal experience and knowledge

  • clear, actionable steps from our first call together on how you can change your relationship with alcohol

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.

Choosing a sober coach

When deciding on a sober coach to work with, it’s so important that you choose someone with the right experience and training, someone you click with, and someone you trust. You can find more guidance from The Sober Club, and from Alcohol Change UK.

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.

I don’t believe that willpower, restriction, shame or guilt are helpful on this journey.

I do believe that curiosity, courage and making yourself the number one priority are essential to making sobriety 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.
