Navigating Change: How I Can Help as Your Addiction Recovery Facilitator

Hello You

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, understanding the journey to recovery is crucial, and having the right support can make all the difference.

 

As an experienced addiction professional and recovery coach, I'm here to guide you through each stage of change, offering personalised, expert support every step of the way.

The Pre-Contemplation
Stage

Gentle Exploration and awareness

In the early stages, when you might not even recognise there's a problem, I take a gentle, non-judgmental approach. I will:

 

  • Explore your current situation at your own pace

  • Share my personal experience to build trust and understanding

  • Focus on the "why" behind behaviours, not just the "what"

  • Help you identify patterns and potential consequences of certain habits

  • Motivate you to recognise your reality without pressure

The Contemplation
Stage

Analysing Behaviours and Beliefs

As you begin to consider that changes might be necessary, I'll work with you to:

 

  • Examine what's working in your life and what isn't

  • Explore behaviours, habits, and traits that may no longer serve you well

  • Investigate the beliefs behind these behaviors and their origins

  • Make connections between your actions and their impacts on various areas of your life 

The Preparation
Stage

Imagining A Different Future

Preparing for change is about realizing that transformation is possible. In this stage, I'll help you:

 

  • Explore "what if" scenarios to imagine a life free from addiction

  • Break down these possibilities into achievable action steps

  • Build confidence in your ability to make positive changes

The Action
Stage

Tailored Support For Your Journey

When you're ready to take action, I'm here to provide comprehensive support. I can:

 

  • Identify and recommend appropriate treatment options based on your unique needs

  • Guide you through admissions processes for treatment centers

  • Accompany you to treatment facilities if desired

  • Help you connect with 12 Step fellowships or other support groups

  • Arrange necessary detox or clinical support

  • Liaise with family members or work colleagues as needed

  • Create a 100% personalised action plan tailored to your situation

The Maintenance Stage

Long-Term Support for Lasting Recovery

Recovery is an ongoing journey, and I'm here for the long haul. I offer:

 

  • In-person support as an on-site recovery coach

  • Regular check-ins and guidance

  • Implementation of relapse prevention strategies based on Terrence Gorski's work

  • Assistance in processing your experiences in early recovery

  • Continuous adaptation of our approach to meet your evolving needs

I'm Here for You

Recovery is possible, and you don't have to face it alone.

As your dedicated Addiction Professional and Recovery Practitioner, I'm committed to meeting you where you are and supporting you every step of the way. Together, we can navigate the stages of change and build a foundation for lasting recovery.

Understanding the Recovery Journey

It's important to recognise that recovery is rarely a linear process.

The Stages of Change model, which I use in my approach, acknowledges that individuals may move back and forth between stages.

Relapse, while challenging, can be a part of the journey and an opportunity for learning and growth. I am non-judgmental and empathetic, whilst also examining the learning opportunities and putting them into place. 

The Progressive Nature of Addiction and Recovery

I understand that addiction often progresses through stages, from occasional use to chronic addiction. Similarly, recovery also progresses through stages, from hitting bottom to sustained recovery. Throughout this journey, I'm here to provide support tailored to your specific stage and needs.
