The Coaches

Era’s got a BSc in Psychology, and an MSc in Addiction, from King’s College London. Lizzy’s got a master’s in psychology and a certificate in psychotherapy. Both have done ~160 hours of addiction coaching training, passed their final assessment, and are now ready to see real clients. So far, we’ve had unanimously positive feedback and ~70% retention from the 100+ clients our coaches have seen so far.
