Recovery coaching · Faversham

Recovery Coaching in Faversham.

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.

Faversham

Local context.

Faversham mixes long-standing local families, agricultural and brewing heritage, and a newer wave of professionals who've moved out from London. The high street is alive, the community is real, and the pressure to keep up appearances can be just as strong here as in any city, sometimes more so, because everyone tends to know everyone.

Men I see from Faversham often describe the same picture: a stable life on paper, a marriage that's gone polite, drinking that's quietly increased, anger that comes out at the wrong people. Underneath there's frequently an older story, emotional neglect, a difficult father, an experience of abuse, that's never been named.

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.

Outcomes

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.
