Meet our coaches

You do not need a rock bottom to want something different.

A compassion-led, science-backed approach to help you change your relationship with alcohol — without shame, labels or judgement. Our coaches help you uncover the root causes of your drinking, get curious about the beliefs and patterns keeping you stuck, and build the foundations for lasting behaviour change to flow naturally from that deeper work.

What alcohol coaching is

A partnership built around your goal, not a program you have to fit into.

An alcohol coach works with you one to one on the thinking, habits and situations behind your drinking. You set the outcome — drinking less, taking a break, or stopping altogether — and your coach helps you get there.

Typical programs

With an ACA coach

One size fits all: You follow a fixed set of steps and language, whatever your situation.
With an ACA coach: The approach is shaped around your life, your goal and your pace.
Labels: You are asked to define yourself by a word you may not identify with.
With an ACA coach: No labels. You are a capable person changing a habit.

Everyone's experience is different, and nothing here is guaranteed. These are the possibilities people most often talk about.

Clarity about your own patterns
Understanding why the habit holds, rather than blaming yourself for it.
Better sleep and steadier energy
Many people notice mornings change first.
Feeling present
More of yourself available for the people and things you care about.
Trust in yourself again
Decisions you make once, instead of renegotiating every evening.
