Change doesn’t start with hitting rock bottom — it starts with deciding you want something different

Alcohol and Substance Support in Dunfermline

At Real Life Recovery Co, I offer confidential professional alcohol and substance counselling and coaching in Dunfermline,Fife supporting people who want to change their relationship with alcohol or substances in a realistic, compassionate, and sustainable way.

Whether you’re questioning your drinking, seeking alcohol reduction, or working towards sobriety, I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where real change can begin. My approach combines lived experience with professional training in psychology and counselling, focusing on trust, empathy, and practical strategies that fit real life.

Personalised Support That Works

I support clients with:

  • Alcohol counselling and alcohol reduction

  • Substance use counselling and coaching

  • Behaviour change and goal setting

  • Building healthier coping strategies

  • Long-term recovery and relapse prevention

I am based in Dunfermline, Fife and work with clients locally and across the UK. I also offer online and telephone counselling worldwide, making support accessible wherever you are.

If you’re ready to explore change at your own pace — without pressure, labels, or judgement — Real Life Recovery Co is here to support you.

Reaching Those Who Need It Most

You don’t have to feel “bad enough” for AA or a doctor’s appointment to reach out for support. If access to local services is limited in your area, or you’re looking for something more personal and accessible, Real Life Recovery Co offers a safe, confidential space to start making changes at your own pace.

Guiding You Back to Happiness

Real Life Recovery Co is about real conversations, real experience, and real change. I draw on years of lived and professional experience to help you work through the complexities of your relationship with alcohol or substances. Support here is 100% confidential. 

Lived Experience, Real Understanding

Real Life Recovery Co isn’t built on textbooks alone — I’ve lived it. I understand the guilt and shame. The endless cycle of “not today" only to find yourself with a drink in your hand at 5 pm or starting again on a Monday morning, promising that this time will be different (but it never is). I get it all, and I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way. Change is possible.
