Recovery coaching · Broadstairs

Recovery Coaching in Broadstairs.

For men who are sober, in recovery, or wrestling with the parts of their life that the substances were managing. Recovery is not the end of the work. For most men, it is the beginning.

Broadstairs

Local context.

Broadstairs has a strong family identity, an active local economy, and the kind of community that pulls together, and the kind of community where it can feel impossible to admit when you're struggling.

Men from Broadstairs often describe themselves as the steady one, the provider, the dependable one, and they're exhausted. Underneath there's usually drinking, anger, withdrawn intimacy, and an old story nobody knows about.

What this is

What recovery coaching actually is.

Trauma-informed coaching for men in any stage of recovery. Early days, long-time sober, or in active questioning. The work is about what the substances were doing for you, what is now underneath them, and how to build a life worth staying for.

Who it is for

Men in AA, NA, SMART, or no programme at all. Men questioning their drinking, their porn use, their gambling, their work addiction. Men who are clean and quietly wondering why they still don't feel free.

What the work looks like

Weekly sessions. Real talk. No shame. Nervous-system work, identity work, relational work. Alongside whatever recovery community you're already part of.

Experience you can trust

Fifteen years walking alongside men in the rooms most people never enter.

  • Worked with men in prisons
  • Worked with men in recovery
  • Worked with men facing homelessness
  • Worked with men rebuilding relationships
  • Worked with men rebuilding their lives

Outcomes

What men typically leave with.

  • Less white-knuckling, more steadiness
  • Understanding the patterns underneath the using
  • A relationship with yourself that does not require escape
  • Stronger recovery on its own terms, not just abstinence

Why local matters

Why work with someone who knows Broadstairs.

I work with men across Broadstairs and Thanet online, quietly, consistently, and in a way that respects how visible life can feel in a small coastal town.

Sessions are online, which keeps things private and flexible for men in and around Broadstairs.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

Do I have to be sober already?

No. Many men come in still using and unsure. The work meets you where you are.

Does this replace AA / NA / SMART?

No. It runs alongside them. Most clients find it deepens the work they're doing in their fellowship, rather than competing with it.

How do I start?

The clearest first step is a free 30-minute discovery call. No pressure, no script, an honest conversation about whether the work fits.
