David Collins’ Model

Recovery Coaching is not about :

  • Being sick- In the coaching space you are a well person who is best able to develop your recovery plan.
  • Treating addiction- Recovery coaching operates within the wellness and positive psychology paradigm and is not addiction treatment.
  • Revisiting and the past and the causes of addiction- It’s about moving forward in a solutions’-driven, goal-orientated way.
  • Being given advice and answers to your questions- You have all the answers you need inside yourself.
  • Being told what to do and how to do- The long-term goals you choose and short-term plans you make will be your own.
  • Holding onto guilt, shame & anger- It’s about letting go of the past, embracing forgiveness and learning to live in the present.
