Substance & Alcohol Coach
Sober alcohol coaching for LGBTQ+ who want to feel healthy, free, clear and empowered
Quit drinking without shame
If you're re-thinking your relationship with alcohol, facing challenges, working towards sobriety or want to enjoy an alcohol free lifestyle — coaching can help move you forward.
This journey is about more than just removing alcohol — it's about building a life you genuinely enjoy, establishing healthy habits, finding new sources of joy and connection, and developing the resilience needed to navigate life and social situations without relying on alcohol. Manage stress, boost confidence, strengthen your boundaries, live a healthier life, feel good and bounce back from those tough days with resilience.
I work in a safe, confidential LGBTQ+ space where you'll be respected and heard. Coaching can complement therapy or traditional recovery programs, but what sets it apart is that its a forward-focused and goal-driven programme.
How I can support you
I work with gay, bi, lesbian, trans and queer who are navigating regular drinking and alcohol use, helping them to feel clear and empowered. Toegether, we can explore:

Frequently Asked Questions on Alcohol Recovery
What is LGBTQ+ alcohol recovery coaching?
LGBTQ+ alcohol recovery coaching provides safe and non judgemental support for queer individuals exploring their relationship with alcohol. Coaching offers tools, accountability and empathy without judgment regardless of whether you're sober-curious, cutting back or in early-recovery.
How does alcohol affect gay men differently?
Gay men face social pressures, anxiety, body-image issues, shame or trauma that can make alcohol a coping mechanism. Drinking can be linked to confidence, connection or being in the gay scene. Coaching can help you explore these patterns, and build healthier ways to feel seen.
Can I moderate my drinking or do I need to quit completely?
It depends on your goals. Coaching supports both cutting-back and sobriety. We'll look at how alcohol fits into your life, and develop a plan that reflects your values and well-being.
What are the signs of high-functioning alcoholism in gay men?
If you're successful and 'happy' on the surface but rely on alcohol to feel relaxed, confident or socially connected. Also if it's affecting your health, relationships, friendships or sleep — you may be high-functioning. Coaching helps bring accountability, clarity and change.
What's the difference between coaching and AA?
AA is a peer-led 12-step program and it's not for everyone. Coaching is a professional, structured and 1-on-1 relationship focused on your unique personal goals and circumstances.
Can I recover from alcohol without going to rehab?
Yes. Many people change their drinking with coaching, therapy or support. If rehab isn't the right fit, coaching offers real-world strategies, practical tools, community connections and ongoing support.
How can a recovery coach support me?
I can help you stay accountable, navigate cravings, manage triggers and build a life that supports your sobriety.
What if I'm not ready to stop drinking completely — is coaching still for me?
Yes. Coaching fits your circumstances. There’s space for your journey without pressure or judgment regardless of whether you're sober-curious, reducing harm or just exploring your relationship with alcohol.
How do I handle social drinking and queer nightlife in sobriety?
We'll explore how to build confidence and connection without relying on alcohol. That might include creating new social rituals, navigating nightlife sober or building friendships outside of bars — all tailored to your values and lifestyle.
What are the benefits of LGBTQ-specific recovery support?
You're not explaining your queer identity with me — you're seen, appreciated and celebrated. LGBTQ-specific coaching also addresses the sexual, cultural and emotional factors behind alcohol use, helping you heal and grow in a space that truly reflects who you are.
