How much does a recovery coach cost in the UK?
Published fees can be difficult to compare, which can make an already hard decision harder.
Recovery coaching fees vary widely because providers offer different levels of contact, experience and availability. Ask any coach directly about their training, experience, boundaries and total fees before committing. A good coach will welcome those questions.
What affects the cost?
The total depends on the type, location and intensity of support. A weekly remote session is very different from in-person support, accompanied travel or a period of high-contact sober companion work. Before agreeing to anything, ask what is included, how often contact takes place and whether travel or out-of-hours support costs extra.
What you're actually paying for
Coaching is not therapy and it is not rehab. It provides practical, non-clinical support: structure, accountability, a plan for real life and regular contact with someone who has lived experience of recovery. The first weeks and months after treatment can be demanding, and that is where consistent coaching may be most valuable.
My fees
Fees depend on the type, location and intensity of support. I'll explain the options and confirm the full cost in writing before any work begins. The initial 20-minute call is free and there is no obligation.
How to choose a coach
Ask what training they hold, whether they follow a professional code of ethics, how they work and what happens if things get difficult. Ask for an introductory call before committing to anything longer. If a coach avoids questions about qualifications or pressure-sells a long package on the first call, consider another provider.
