Helping people to live an Alcohol-Free life that is happier, healthier and more fulfilling.

What do you really want from this one wild and precious life?

Hi there - I'm Alison...

I am a Positive Psychology Coach specialising in Sobriety, Grey Area Drinking and Alcohol-Free Living within Manchester, Cheshire and beyond.

Having completed a doubly accredited diploma in Positive Psychology Coaching and Alcohol-Free Coaching, I am passionate about helping people change their relationship with alcohol.

I will help you discover what you REALLY want from life and work with you to take action and make lasting positive change.

My areas of Specialist Coaching

Grey Area Drinking

Exploring whether alcohol may be taking more than it is giving, and working towards changing relationships with it, however that may look for you

Alcohol-Free Coaching

Working together to remove alcohol from your life, either for a short period of time or longer term.

Sobriety Coaching

Building a vibrant and happy life without alcohol

Re-discovery Coaching

Working with you to re-discover who you really are, and what you really want. Perfect if you feel you have lost your sense of identity, and want support and accountability in forging forward

"Alison...you are incredible at your job and I can't thank you enough for your support. I've worked with coaches before and you are next level. Incredibly perceptive, caring and empathetic. I consider myself lucky to have had you in my life this month and going forward"
Jo M

Take a moment to ask yourself...

Are you...

drinking more than you would like or more often than you would like, or finding alcohol is taking more from you than it is giving?

Is your...

gut instinct telling you that you deserve something more or something different but you keep pushing it down, trying to ignore it, because it's easier that way?

Are you ready...

to embrace change, to go after your dreams and take that first step towards the life that you truly deserve?

Do you feel...

that life is passing you by or that it is bringing you a little less than you hoped for?

1-1 Coaching

With the juggle of modern life, it can be easy to lose sight of who we really are and what we really want. 1-1 coaching is a transformational tool, enabling you to re-discover yourself, uncover what is most important to you, and set goals and accountability to ensure you are living in alignment with the person you truly want to be.

Rediscovery
Group Workshops

Group workshops allow us to do some transformational work while connecting with, and learning from others. The 90-minute group workshops are currently offered on Core Values and the Wheel of Life, with a maximum of 4 people per session. This means that I’m still able to work with participants individually during the sessions while allowing them to be more inclusive and cost-effective.

"Alison truly has something special. The way she speaks and shares her vast knowledge is so natural and unassuming; she just has a way of knowing what to say in all scenarios and is able to help clients uncover their true selves, identify what they need to work on and how to go about it. All with zero judgement and caring support. I so enjoy working with her and highly recommend to others who are looking for life coaching or alcohol free coaching"

Join me for my Alcohol-Free Challenge

Are you thinking of giving up the booze for a month and feel that you would benefit from some extra support?

Throughout the year I run different challenges and offer access to different group accountability and support. 

Have you...

tried to take a break from alcohol before but found it a little difficult, or felt isolated doing it alone?

Would you...

like masses of information and education to transform the way you think about alcohol?

If so...

join me for a month long, alcohol-free challenge where you will be given all of the tools and support that you need to successfully navigate a month off the booze, or to set you up perfectly for long-term alcohol-free living if this is your goal.

As a qualified positive psychology coach, specialising in helping people to change their relationship with alcohol, I will be your biggest cheerleader and you will be joined by a small group of others, all working towards the same goal (challenges are kept small so that I can support each individual).

It’s time to start talking about alcohol in the workplace

Imagine how much of a difference it could make to your workplace if employees were supported in making some changes around their alcohol consumption

With an ICF Accredited Diploma in Positive Psychology Coaching and a further qualification in Alcohol-Free Coaching, I can work with you and your teams to explore whether a change in habits around alcohol may be beneficial, and how best to implement this.

Packages are bespoke to fit individual requirements. Please get in touch to discuss.

"If you plan on being any less than you are capable of, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life."
