“Coaching refers to the activity of a coach in developing the abilities of a client seeking sobriety (or a drug free lifestyle).
Coaching tends to focus on an existing problem (from which to move away) or a specific outcome that the individual wishes to achieve (move towards).”

Sober Coaching is where the actual healing of the client begins. Sober Coaching is very effective short term and impacts upon the quality of the client’s lifestyle in the long term. It’s where the magic of recovery occurs. Sober Coaching takes people through their own journey of self discovery and is highly effective for people with drinking and drug problems that don’t require a detox but do need some outside help learning how to stay sober permanently.

Miracles happen through Sober Coaching.
It’s the point where clients make serious and significant changes to their attitudes and behaviour. The therapeutic process we utilise is individually arranged around our own previously proven model of recovery and it’s desired outcome is to specifically improve the quality of someone’s life whilst they remain alcohol and drug free.

Since all clients are unique, so we’ve designed our own Sober Coaching Workbook that allows everyone the opportunity to discover their own patterns and strategies for living, and replace them with healthier, sober living ones. We use this Sober Coaching Workbook with all of our Sober Coaching clients because it’s been proven to be highly effective at creating permanent change and bring about recovery.

In face-to-face Sober Coaching sessions we can deal with all the specific situations and levels of crisis they may be encountering. We’re convinced that Sober Coaching is a very suitable solution for those who are limited by free time, but yet are still serious about changing their behaviours.

What People Are Saying About Us

Amazing influence in my life last year. Ian Young was an amazing influence in my life last year and has continued to be a wonderful support to me since. He helped me to research a film role I was determined to get right. It was the role of a police woman struggling with alcohol and cocaine addiction. Ian introduced me to some unbelievable people who were so honest and open about their own experiences of addiction and rehabilitation. The whole experience was unbelievably moving to me as a person and made the role in to something that exceeded all of my expectations as an actress. I knew, after my time with Ian researching, that I had to honour him and all the people who had given me their time in my performance. I am so grateful to all of them. I don’t care how the role is perceived as long as they and Ian gives it the thumbs up! That’s what matters. Seeing the generosity, commitment and humour Ian brings to the people he works with is truly inspirational. He uses his own struggle and experience to help others through theirs. Not the kind of humanity you find every day. He is one of those people that makes things happen. All I had to do was ask if he could sort me out with some people to talk to and places to visit for research and it was done. He really did make what I thought to be the impossible, possible. I could not have done it without you Ian! Let’s hope the film does well, but most importantly, let’s hope all the people I met are happy and healthy and continue to thrive on the support you and people like you give them. Thanks for being so generous and putting yourself on the line for a complete stranger. All the blessings in the world for all you put your hand to

Better than we could have ever hoped for! Ian Young and his team at Sober Services have delivered a service that has been far better than we could have ever hoped for. On the very first day I called Ian he was able to react to our situation immediately and had two people on the job that very afternoon. The level of advice, support, experience and resources that Sober Services provide is quite impressive. This particular assignment had its own challenges… confidentiality and being able to adapt to constantly changing schedule were key! Sober Services fitted around our requirements perfectly and got the job done.

Sober Services were brilliant! I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the report you sent through and for the service that you provided. We were very concerned that my brother-in-law would find traveling alone between London and Cape Town very difficult at such an early stage in his recovery. We realised that the best thing to do was to arrange for someone to travel with him and the Detox facility he was in recommended Sober Service’s transport service to us. From the very first contact, Sober Services were brilliant. It was a huge relief to find someone offering exactly the service that we needed. It was also very reassuring talking to you and a great comfort to know that my brother-in-law was in such safe and experienced hands. Thank you for taking so much time and care to plan everything with me. I’m sure that it made a huge difference to my brother-in-law to have you there and it certainly was very important to his family and friends. In the nicest possible way, I hope that we never have need of your services again, but I would be very happy to recommend you to anyone in a similar position. I will of course let you know how he gets on. In the meantime, it has genuinely been a pleasure dealing with you. With many thanks again and best wishes for the future.

I want to thank you very much for your time, effort and support through this very difficult time – you have been amazing and it’s been very useful receiving your input. You definitely made me feel better as seemed to be able to relate very well to everything I said which also made me feel that we weren’t alone in this and weren’t peculiar or anything but that these things do happen to normal families! Maybe we will meet one day, but hopefully under nicer circumstances!!

Still sober thanks for the help and genuine care. Hi, my name is Dave and I am an extremely happy customer of Sober Services. After 18months of continually failing to stay sober for more than two months I was somewhat baffled to why this was. Most of the time all was well, I would get through the first couple of weeks full of confidence, and then out of the blue would find myself relapsing at times of stress or at social events. On speaking to a friend she suggested I contact Ian, so I did. On meeting Ian for the first time I immediately felt very comfortable and at ease in his company. A week later I was due to go on business abroad, these certain trips were always my most vulnerable times (airports, business meetings etc.) so I decided to give sober services a try. Ian picked me up promptly in the very early hours of the morning (in a very nice comfortable car) and drove me to Heathrow airport. We chatted all the way to the airport and I was made to feel at ease before boarding my flight. Upon my return Ian was again prompt and returned me home safely. A couple of weeks later I had to attend a family function, (these were always big trigger points for me), and I invited Ian to accompany me. Ian introduced himself as a friend and was welcomed by all members of my family, and again I returned home safe and sober…. A few months have passed now and I’m still sober thanks to the help, genuine care and support from Ian and Sober Services. Many thanks
Dave W.
Benefitted greatly from Ian’s input. We employed Ian to offer cocaine addiction consultancy and training to our leading lady – Zawe Ashton, so that she could play the part of a policewoman with a drug habit. Ian did so much more than help her understand how to act like a cocaine addict, but over a number of sessions he went on to make suggestions regarding the complete psychology and behavioural patterns of an addicted person, which positively impacted the complete credibility of the film. I know that our movie benefitted greatly from Ian’s input and I will be recommending him and his Sober Consultancy services in other Lionsgate movie productions.

We have always found them to be reliable and efficient in managing our, sometimes, unpredictable and chaotic clientele, and one of the most cost-effective solutions to a reoccurring challenge for our multi location organisation. Our admissions team work closely with the Sober Services team and this allows us both to offer a professional and effective service which we believe to be of paramount importance in our client’s recovery journey. Whilst we do not endorse any outside agency we are happy to confirm that we have every intention to continue working with Sober Services for the foreseeable future."

Extremely reliable, flexible and courteous. We have used Sober Services on a number of occasions and have found them to be extremely reliable, flexible and courteous. They have enabled us to ensure that clients have arrived with us in a safe, stable and comfortable manner, allaying the anxiety that can be felt by a client in having to organise trains, taxis etc. I have no hesitation in recommending this service to other treatment providers or similar services.
Sue AllchurchBusiness Development Director - The Linwood Group
Efficient and considerate in their duty. On 15th July 2010 Sober Services transportation offered us a very good service. They were efficient and considerate in their duty. We would certainly use them again.

We have been utilizing the Sober Transportation services for over 18 months. At all times we are very impressed with their rapid call to action and availability at very short notice to collect a client anywhere (within the British Isles and Europe) and transport them safely at the agreed location with accurately timed arrival. The Referral Network fully supports Sober Services for their professional approach and their results. The industry is a better place for their services. Nov. 2009
