All of you is welcome here

Wherever you are on your journey with alcohol, whatever you’re feeling, I want you to know that it’s all OK. If you’re drinking to cope with stress and overwhelm, that makes total sense. If you’re drinking to cope with painful feelings like sadness and grief, that makes sense. If you’re drinking out of habit and just can’t seem to cut down, that makes sense too.

Alcohol is an addictive, toxic drug that our culture promotes as the elixir of life. It’s no surprise you’ve got stuck. It’s not your fault.

You don’t need to hide in the dark anymore. You’re not broken, you’re not trapped, and you’re not alone. You can break free from alcohol for good and step into the life you were always meant to live.

Meeting pain with love

What if, instead of drinking every time you felt a difficult feeling, you did something loving for yourself?

When you listen to yourself and uncover what you actually need in that moment, and choose to meet that need, you are choosing fierce self-compassion. You’re making a promise to yourself and saying, whole-heartedly: ‘I matter.’

Because you do matter. Without caveats, without question. And if you’re looking honestly at your relationship with alcohol, then you have extraordinary courage.

Trust me, I get it. I know what it takes to walk this path. The bravery. The strength. The falling down and the getting back up. You’re amazing. Keep going.

My experience

When deciding on a sober coach to work with, it’s so important that you choose someone with the right experience and training, someone you click with, and someone you trust. You can find more guidance from The Sober Club, and from Alcohol Change UK.

A bit more about me:

• I’ve been free from alcohol since December 2019.

• I’m a Sober Club Accredited Coach.

• I volunteer as a sober mentor for Women Who Don’t Drink.

• I trained as a life coach with Beautiful You Coaching Academy (a course accredited by the International Coaching Federation).

• I abide by The Sober Code ethics.

• I’m fully insured.

• I have monthly supervision with Stephanie Chivers, Director of the non-profit organisation Women Who Don’t Drink. Stephanie has almost 20 years experience in supporting people to reduce or quit alcohol, and she helps to ensure I am upholding ethical standards and providing the best service to my clients.

How I can help

I’m always here to chat - I love a chat! So please do reach out in the comments or email me at hello@ellie-nova.com. You can also book a free 30 minute call with me.

If you choose to work with me, together we’ll create a sober toolkit of practices and actions you can turn to instead of drinking. We’ll look at what beliefs you have about alcohol that are holding you back. And we’ll explore what you really want for yourself.

• The 30 Day Journey is a month of support to kickstart your sober life.

• And you can also work with me with 3 months of support through the Lasting Change programme.

• Rediscover You for people in early sobriety looking for support as they navigate returning home to themselves and creating the life they’ve always dreamed of.

All support is through Zoom calls and email/WhatsApp between sessions.
