Norman Fox — Private Recovery Coach in Vancouver

I'm Norman Fox and I am a Vancouver-based private recovery coach, offering one-to-one support in real life, by phone, or on video.
What I offer is not treatment, and it is not a program. It is a private conversation about what is happening, what needs attention, and what might help you move forward.
Most people I meet are not looking for a system. Something has shifted, and they want to understand what to do next without stepping into group meetings, labels, or anything that becomes part of their professional record.
That’s the work I do.
I work one-to-one with people who want space to speak honestly, think clearly, and make practical decisions about substance use, recovery, and the life around it.
Some people are already in therapy and want support alongside it. Others know they need something direct, private, and easier to begin.
I bring lived experience, years of recovery, and a steady, practical way of working with people in real time. I understand how this unfolds day to day — not as a theory, but as something people have to live through.
How I Got Here
I've been in recovery for nearly twenty years, and around recovery almost all my life. I spent time in treatment centres — not as staff. I know what that world looks like from the inside.
I've also worked in it — in group homes, youth resources, and treatment settings across BC. I've been a foster parent for the province. I have my own children.
I have a certificate in counselling skills and am trained as a Recovery Coach in Canada. But what I bring to this work isn't mainly a credential. It's decades of navigating recovery in real life, and of watching how addiction moves through families, institutions, and careers.
That's why I work the way I do — privately, practically, and without any system you have to fit yourself into.
The starting point is simple:
Space to be honest about what is happening.
Someone steady enough to stay with you as you figure it out.
There is no pressure to explain everything perfectly. No expectation that you already have the answers.
We start with what is real — and go from there.
You do not have to forfeit the life you are already building, or the life you are dreaming of.
