ABOUT NORMAN
For when you're not sure — but you know something has to change.
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, steady support, and the clear next steps.
Recovery coaching gives you a private place to talk honestly, pay attention to what’s been happening, and find a clear way forward.
No waiting rooms. No rigid program. No labels or public record.
Just steady support, practical guidance, and real conversation — built around your actual life.

This is what I bring:
Discretion
Private conversations without treatment forms, group settings, public meetings, 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.
Clear rates
You can see how the work is structured before we meet, so the first conversation can stay focused on what's going on.
WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE
How I can help
We start with a conversation — simple, direct, and focused on what’s been happening.
We can meet for a walk or a coffee.
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 simply having someone you can reach when things start to feel off.
I help you look honestly at what’s been happening — at your own pace. I don’t diagnose. I don’t tell you what to do.
The work is about paying attention, finding clarity, and making decisions that fit your life.
You don’t need to have all the answers to start.
Start with a free conversation — by phone or video anywhere in Canada or worldwide — in person in the Greater Vancouver area.
What people say after they start this work
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.

What happens next
First, we talk.
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 does, we schedule a first in-person meeting — usually a walk, a coffee, or somewhere quiet and comfortable. From there, we begin looking at what kind of structure and support actually makes sense for your situation.
Those next steps can look very different for each person. That’s the point. This is not about putting you into a program, giving you a label, or fitting you onto someone else’s shelf.
It starts with a free conversation.
And sometimes, that first conversation is enough to let you breathe a little easier — because you’ve already taken a real step forward.
