Recovery Coaching: a private, high-performance way to regain control

Jan 23, 2026

Quick takeaway: Recovery Coaching is short, sharp, and clinically informed support for people who want discreet, practical help that fits into a busy life.

What Recovery Coaching actually is

Short sessions with a clinician who blends psychological skill-building and performance coaching. It’s structured, goal-driven and designed to slot into your calendar.

Key features:

Online clinician coaching sessions
Practical tools you apply between sessions
Focus on behaviour change, identity work and resilience
Confidential, clinically governed approach

This model is built for people who want to maintain their career and lifestyle while changing behaviour - the exact niche The TARA Clinic serves.

Who it’s for

High-performing professionals who value privacy.
People who’ve tried quick fixes but want sustained change.
Those who prefer coaching-style, structured work over long residential programs.

What we do in a coaching session (practical breakdown)

Rapid risk check - identify immediate risks or triggers for the coming week.
Skill focus - we teach one practical tool (urge management, values-driven decisions, sleep hygiene, or rehearsal).
Micro-commitment - you leave with a clear, measurable task (binary check for the day).
Accountability - a short follow-up or journalling prompt to lock learning in.

Common outcomes clients tend to notice

Clearer decision-making under stress.
Fewer reactive behaviours outside work.
Higher sense of self-control and reduced shame.
_{These are observed as patterns in clinical practice and align with the outcomes The TARA Clinic aims to deliver.}

How to try it

Start with a 20-minute Personal Recovery Assessment to map readiness and risk.
If coaching is the right fit, we’ll recommend a short-term plan and a maintenance pathway.

FAQs

Q1 - Is Recovery Coaching the same as therapy?
It’s clinician-led and evidence-informed, but the emphasis is on practical coaching and behavioural change rather than deep exploratory therapy.

Q2 - Will I need to commit to a long programme?
Many clients start with a short block of coaching and extend only if it’s useful. If you want to progress into our full 3-Step Blueprint to Lasting Recovery, we offer a clear pathway forward. The model is flexible to your goals.

Q3 - How do you ensure privacy?
All sessions are online, confidential, and clinically governed. While any group session has it's limitations, the culture of our group programs is one of safety and confidentiality.
