What to Consider When Looking for a Sober Coach.
Style and Approach
Every coach brings a different style and focus. Some concentrate solely on sobriety, while others integrate additional areas like mindset, wellness, or emotional health. Do you want a spiritual approach or one rooted in science? Choose what resonates with you. My coaching is holistic—I support you in becoming alcohol-free while also working with you on nutrition, navigating obstacles, and building a practical sober toolkit tailored to your life.
Level of Support
Think about the kind of support that would best serve you. Would you benefit more from private 1:1 sessions or the connection of group coaching? Do you want support just for the first step—or ongoing guidance over the first few months? Understanding what you need will help you stay on track and feel supported through every stage of your journey.
Lifestyle Fit
Coaches are people too! Consider whether you’d feel more at ease with someone who shares your background, family setup, or drinking history—or whether a different perspective might be just what you need. There’s no right answer—only what feels right for you.
Professional Credentials
Coaching is an unregulated field, but many committed sober coaches complete extensive training, earn accreditation from professional bodies, and follow a clear code of ethics. Don’t hesitate to ask about a coach’s background, experience, and values—it’s your right to feel confident and informed.
Your Budget
While quitting alcohol can save you money in the long run, coaching is still an investment. The right support can change your life—but it should also align with your current financial reality. Be honest with yourself about your budget, and look for a coach who offers flexible options that fit your needs.
