I have helped hundreds of people move forward on their journey towards changing their relationship with alcohol. You can read about some of their experiences below.
Whether you've tried to stop drinking many times, or this is your first time, I'm here to help. Coaching with me is not about willpower, or even stopping drinking. It's about changing the way you view the role of alcohol in your life and creating new perspectives. About starting to focus more on yourself and what you want deep down.
If you do this, the feeling of not wanting to drink becomes your default state. Indeed, in order to succeed in making alcohol small and irrelevant in your life, this is exactly the attitude you need to cultivate. Let's do it together!

I left a successful IT career to become a certified life coach with a focus on helping people live richer and more fulfilling lives. My personal journey to stop drinking started a few years ago on my birthday. I never reached a "rock bottom", no divorce, and had not been fired from my job. I just had a strong inner feeling that there must be more to life than the constant cycle of desire and shame. Life had not always been like this. I was puzzled by the paradox of the mind wanting one thing one moment and the opposite the next.
With the help of This Naked Mind I learned to 'unlearn'. To get rid of old beliefs about the benefits of alcohol. One such belief is that quitting alcohol is difficult, almost impossible. It's not. It just takes an open mind and a willingness to change, to allow yourself to be wrong. This is where I found my freedom and now I want to help you do the same. Whether you want to stop completely or just cut back is up to you. Through this method, you can find freedom either way.
Coaching is transformation - Every session has the potential to be life-changing. Coaching is about helping someone find their own inner guide and wisdom. More concretely, this is done by creating a space for change, which to 100% is about you as a client. I as a coach will be your guide and show you what is possible in your life, by asking powerful questions and listening, from a place of openness and non-judgment.
In coaching, we try to focus on looking forward and seeing what is possible. Your past is not irrelevant, but from my perspective as a coach, the important thing is to help you see what "baggage" you are carrying and how it affects the way you look at the future.
No matter how you define yourself, you can get help. My opinion is that the term "alcoholism" is not in any way helpful but quite the opposite. That it only serves to compartmentalize people and that its only purpose is to create an "us and them" mentality. I have made a page about this which can be found at here if you want to read more.
What your goal is with the coaching is entirely up to you. The important thing is to focus on how you want to feel. My goal is for you to find your freedom, then you decide what that means for you.
My view is that a problematic relationship with alcohol is just a symptom - a natural result of human suffering, which can take many different forms. I want to look beyond the symptoms and focus on how you relate to your thoughts and feelings. Only then can you start creating a life you don't want to escape from. In other words, I will help you no matter what problem you think you have.
This is, of course, a very common question. But unfortunately there is no straightforward answer to it. The reason is that there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to coaching. I customize all programs based on the client's individual needs. That's why it's so important that we get to know each other a bit before we move on to talking about money. Before I decide if I want to coach someone, I want to know for sure that I can help that person and I want both of us to feel that way. This is why I offer one and sometimes two free calls before we decide to work together.
