From the moment I signed up to The Sober Club Accredited Sober Coach Training Course, the whole experience has been amazing. It was a transformational week where I honestly felt like I stepped into my true authentic self. I loved Janey’s holistic approach and the variety of different techniques she shared. It was packed with so much valuable content and covered all elements of coaching but also the importance of taking care of our own well-being, as well as the needs of the client – so refreshing. I came away feeling stronger, inspired, and motivated to help others. Janey’s support is invaluable both during and after the course. She truly leads from her heart.

“The Sober Club Accredited Sober Coach training course was thoroughly enjoyable, a great mix of structure and spontaneity, we learned about the coaching methods, how to help somebody in the early stages of sobriety, how to recognise challenges for our clients and how to guide them through the process, The course is supported with literature, a website portal and our private coaches community so I won’t feel alone on my journey.  The entire weekend was underpinned by focusing on our own well-being, and how to ensure we keep our own oxygen masks on first.  If you are interesting in being an active coach or just curious as to whether you could coach someone, this course is for you.  The wealth of knowledge that Janey imparts is priceless and the connections made are truly life enriching.”  C.P

I have not only been equipped with the skills and knowledge to coach, I gained a whole lot more! Looking back, it was a pivotal decision, as Janey continues to be available to offer support, advice and guidance from coaching, event planning and promotion on social media, website and The Alcohol Free Life Podcast.

As sober coaches we are all still navigating our sober lives, the difficulties this can throw up, especially when, in my case, juggling 2 jobs and a family. Janey is ever present, approachable and available. A true sober hero and somebody I will be forever thankful for, above all else, the 1-1 sessions during some difficult life experiences have been invaluable. If you are thinking of joining the sober club, or becoming a sober coach, I could not recommend Janey enough.

If you are already a coach this is ideal to add to your work. It’s also perfect if you are new to coaching and currently offer some kind of therapeutic / people centered work and are keen to share your passion and enthusiasm for self-care and sobriety. We will have a phone call to ensure that the programme is right for you.

Do you want to offer sobriety coaching for paying clients? It is advantageous to have at least six months of sobriety under your own belt, but you may be keen to do the programme to support yourself, friends and family and take clients at a later date. Please note this is not ‘addiction recovery’ coaching.  The clients you will trained to work with are those who are not clinically dependent on alcohol. The focus is on self-care and resources to live life to the full.  It’s about well-being underpinned by sobriety.

In this training, YOUR personal story will also become paramount, revealing the ‘Authentic You’ and the immersive transformational work gives you confidence, and empowers you to step into the spotlight so that you can help others.

What happens on the course…

The first two days of the course are held in person with the group (max of 12 people) in Kings Langley village, Hertfordshire. A fabulous lunch is provided, with nearby places to stay.and options for evening meals, either alone or as a group. You also have the option of meeting Janey and some of the group on the evening before the first morning.

After this first information packed and inspirational 2 days, the course continues for another 4- 5 weeks with Zoom meetings, recorded sessions with guest experts and regular trainings.  After that, as a member of the Sober Club Accredited Coaches family we are always in touch, advising and sharing each others progress.and welcoming new expert guest teachers. 

If you are not able to attend the in person 2 day training in the UK, you can still complete the course. You would receive recordings of our 1st modules, have a 1-1 Q and A with Janey online, and then join the group for the live Zoom group sessions over the following weeks.

This training covers everything you need to become a ‘positive sobriety self-care’ coach and expand your business, and importantly, includes being part of the Sober Club Coaches ‘family’. Uniquely, because of Janey’s media and PR expertise, you will also benefit from being on Janey’s radar regarding opportunities and exposure as a ‘Sober Club Accredited Coach’.
