ABOUT NORMAN

For when you're not sure — but you know something has to change.

ChatGPT Image Apr 23, 2026, 07_02_39 AM.png

We start with a conversation — simple, direct, and focused on what’s been happening. 

We can meet for a walk, a coffee, by phone, or by video. What we talk about stays between us — no records, no HR, no insurance involvement.

If we decide to keep going, we stay connected. That might mean regular meet-ups, check-ins, or having someone you can reach when things start to feel off.

I help you look honestly at what’s happening, find some structure, and make decisions that fit your life. I don’t diagnose, and I don’t tell you what to do.

You don’t need to have all the answers to start.

What I bring

Discretion

Private conversations without treatment forms, group sessions, waiting rooms, or having to explain yourself to a system.

One-to-one conversation

A confidential place to talk honestly about alcohol, drugs, or addictive patterns — without stepping away from your work, family, or daily life.

Clarity and structure

We look at what's been happening, what needs to change, and what kind of support will actually fit your life.

Rates up front

You can see how the work is structured before we meet, so the first conversation can stay focused on what’s going on.

What happens next

First, we talk.

ChatGPT Image May 11, 2026, 05_48_07 PM.png

That might be a quick phone call, a text exchange, or a FaceTime conversation. You can ask questions, I can learn a little about what’s been happening, and we can both get a sense of whether this feels like the right fit.

If it feels like the right fit, we schedule a first meeting — usually a walk, a coffee, or somewhere quiet and comfortable.

It starts with a free conversation. Sometimes that is enough to help you breathe a little easier.

What clients say

I reached out to Norman about six months ago — and we’ve been working together ever since. He’s been an absolutely phenomenal part of my recovery journey — supportive, understanding, and incredibly easy to talk to.

 

Our conversations never feel forced; he’s a great listener and has become a true friend along the way. I’m very grateful for the guidance and perspective he’s brought into my life.

I’m Norman Fox, a private recovery coach in Vancouver.

I work one-to-one with people who are questioning their drinking, drug use, or addictive patterns and want a confidential place to talk before things become more complicated.

My work is grounded in lived experience, careful listening, and practical support. This is not treatment, therapy, or a program. It is a private working relationship built around honest conversation and steady next steps.
