My story

From a litre of vodka a day to a life of freedom

For ten years I was drinking a litre of vodka a day and going on drug binges, while living with OCD and BPD. I couldn't sit with my own thoughts for five minutes without a drink, and I couldn't manage my emotions whether I'd been drinking or not.

Today I can paint in silence for hours, and I've never been more emotionally stable or at peace. I tried countless ways to get sober. What finally worked was DBT: a set of skills for getting through intense emotions without making things worse.

So I retrained as a DBT skills coach and addiction recovery coach, and I've since earned qualifications in therapy skills and addiction. Everything I teach is trauma-informed and built on the skills that got me out.

With love, Olivia x

Who this is for

You don't need a label to be here

Addict, alcoholic, grey area drinker, sober curious, years into recovery, or someone whose "quick one" keeps turning into a lost weekend. However you'd describe your relationship with alcohol or substances, you're welcome.

Your programme

Built around you, not a fixed template

Every programme is tailored to the individual: your history, your triggers, your goals and the pace that works for you. We draw on DBT and ACT skills, trauma-informed practice and lived experience, and focus on what will make the biggest difference for you right now.

The aim is to help you build a life you no longer want to escape from.

From clients

In their words

  • “Olivia's understanding of how the addict brain works is incredible. I felt heard and understood for the first time.”

    Louise H, 1:1 coaching client
  • “Her DBT course massively helped my emotional sobriety and how I cope with stress, triggers and cravings. I'd probably have relapsed without it.”

    Lewis R, DBT course
  • “Olivia goes so much deeper. She got to the root of a lot of my issues.”
