Hi, I'm Kate

I know what it’s like to feel:

After years of struggling, I transformed my relationship with booze and created an alcohol-free lifestyle that’s better than I could ever have imagined. Now I want to show you how to do the same.

Stop drinking support for women who feel stuck

The Sober School helps women quit drinking for good. I’m Kate, a certified life coach, published author and former drinker.

Your questions about stopping drinking

How do I stop drinking?

Start by taking a proper break from booze. You don’t need to worry about forever yet, just give yourself some time to clear your mind and stop thinking about alcohol. This is what my Getting Unstuck course is all about, helping you find the mental clarity to learn how to stop drinking for good with real support behind you.

If your drinking feels like a problem to you, that’s reason enough to make a change. You don’t need to qualify for a label or hit rock bottom; if you’re thinking about booze more than you’d like to, seeking help to stop drinking can give you the tools you need to make a choice that feels right for you.

Absolutely. AA works for some people, but meetings and labels aren’t helpful to everyone. My approach is CBT based; I focus on understanding why you drink to help you change the way you view alcohol and feel good about the choices you make. If you’ve been looking for help to stop drinking without AA, I provide a space that doesn’t revolve around meetings and where no one is labelled an alcoholic; The Sober School is simply a community of like-minded women who want to cheer you on to an alcohol-free life.

Not at all. Most of the women I work with are far from the stereotype. They’re capable, successful, ‘normal’ women who’ve quietly had enough of drinking and of alcohol taking up so much headspace. You don’t need a label to want a better life, all it takes is being interested in making a change.

I used to ask this question too, and if you’re like me, you know the answer. In my experience, moderation is the exhausting part. Setting rules for when and how much to drink keeps alcohol at the centre of your life. Taking a proper break is what gives you the space to really question ‘is my drinking a problem?’ and help you get to the root of why you feel the way you do. Most women I work with find that quitting altogether, just for a few weeks to start, is actually much easier than trying to drink ‘just a little’.

Getting Unstuck is my six-week online course built to help women just like you stop drinking. When you sign up, you get access to daily lessons, coaching and a private community of like-minded women going through it together. Click here to find out more about the next class.
