A discreet and respectful approach
Privacy is particularly important when your personal circumstances could affect your professional identity, reputation, or relationships.
Sessions are conducted online and are not recorded without your express written agreement.
You are encouraged to attend from a private location where you can speak without being overheard.
Information discussed during sessions is treated confidentially, subject to any applicable legal or ethical obligations relating to immediate safety, harm to others, child safety or other mandatory reporting requirements.
Further information about privacy, record keeping, communication and confidentiality will be provided before your first session.
What this service is not
Private Recovery Coaching is a non-clinical coaching and psychoeducational service.
It is not:
- Psychotherapy or trauma-processing therapy
- Psychological or psychiatric assessment
- Treatment for PTSD, CPTSD or another mental-health condition
- Medical or psychiatric treatment
- Medically supervised withdrawal or detoxification
- Medication advice
- Crisis intervention
- Continuous sobriety monitoring
- A substitute for care from a doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist, counsellor, or other qualified healthcare professional
- A guarantee that a person will remain abstinent or achieve a particular recovery outcome
Sessions do not involve intentionally revisiting or processing traumatic memories.
Recovery coaching can complement professional treatment but does not replace it. Where your needs fall outside the scope of the service, you may be encouraged to seek assistance from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Important safety information
This service is not appropriate for an immediate crisis.
If you are experiencing severe intoxication or withdrawal, psychosis, mania, suicidal thoughts, an immediate risk of harm or another medical or mental-health emergency, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis service in your current location.
Do not wait for a coaching appointment or email response during an emergency.
Take the next step
You do not need to have everything resolved before asking for support.
A Recovery Strategy Session can help you understand where you are, identify what may be placing your recovery at risk and decide what type of support would be most useful.
