Private Addiction Recovery Coaching in Gold Coast
Redwood Recovery provides confidential, one-on-one recovery coaching for individuals and families across the Gold Coast who are ready to reclaim control — without the disruption of inpatient programmes or the exposure of group settings. Our private coaching model is built around your life, your schedule and your standards of discretion.
Who Is Recovery Coaching For?
Our Gold Coast clients are typically high-performing professionals, business owners, executives and their families who recognise that alcohol or substance use has begun to quietly erode the life they have worked hard to build. They are not in crisis requiring emergency medical care — they are intelligent, motivated individuals who want structured, expert support delivered with absolute privacy.
- Professionals managing demanding careers who cannot step away for residential programmes
- Parents concerned about a son or daughter’s escalating substance use
- Individuals who have previously attempted to change on their own and want guided, accountable support
- Families seeking a unified approach to supporting a loved one in recovery
- Executives returning from a medical or wellness programme who need ongoing real-world coaching
If you are experiencing a medical emergency or are in immediate distress, please call 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14. Redwood Recovery operates alongside — not instead of — any clinical care you may require.
How Recovery Coaching Differs From Rehab
Recovery coaching and rehabilitation serve different but complementary purposes. Rehabilitation is a clinical, medically supervised process. Redwood Recovery is not a clinic, does not provide therapy, counselling or medical treatment, and does not diagnose or treat any condition. What we offer is something distinct and, for many people, more sustainable.
- Integration into real life: Coaching takes place in your world — your home, your office, your daily routine — rather than removing you from it.
- Accountability and structure: Regular one-on-one sessions create consistent momentum and clear, personalised action plans.
- Identity-led change: We focus on who you are becoming, not simply what you are stopping.
- Total confidentiality: No shared group environments, no institutional records shared beyond what you choose, no visible programme enrolment.
- Flexible pacing: Coaching adapts to your schedule, travel commitments and evolving priorities.
Many clients engage Redwood Recovery concurrently with a GP or psychiatrist, or after completing a clinical programme, to sustain and deepen the progress they have made.

What to Expect in Your First Session
Your first conversation with Redwood Recovery is a confidential discovery session — unhurried, judgement-free and entirely focused on you. There is no assessment form to complete in a waiting room, no clinical intake process and no pressure.
In that initial session, your coach will take time to understand your current circumstances, what has and has not worked in the past, and what a meaningful, sustainable change looks like for you specifically. Together you will begin to map out a coaching structure — cadence of sessions, focus areas and practical tools — that fits your life rather than asking you to fit around a programme.
Most clients describe the first session as the first time they have spoken openly about their situation without feeling judged or pathologised. That clarity alone is a significant starting point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is recovery coaching a substitute for medical treatment?
No. Redwood Recovery provides coaching support, not clinical treatment, therapy or medical advice. If you require medically supervised detoxification or psychiatric care, we will always encourage you to access that first and work alongside your treating practitioners.
How do you protect my privacy?
Confidentiality is foundational to everything we do. We do not share client information, we conduct sessions in private settings of your choosing, and our onboarding process is designed to be discreet from the very first contact.
Can coaching help a family member, not just the individual?
Absolutely. We work with families navigating a loved one’s substance use — helping partners, parents and adult children develop constructive approaches, set healthy boundaries and access their own support.
How often would we meet?
Session frequency is tailored to you. Many clients begin with weekly sessions before moving to fortnightly as momentum builds. Intensive daily support is also available for those who want a more immersive start.
Do you work with clients who are still drinking or using?
Yes. You do not need to have already stopped to begin coaching. Many clients start with Redwood Recovery while still in the midst of the pattern they want to change. Readiness to engage honestly is the only requirement.
