Recovery Coaching: real support, real connection
What is Recovery Coaching
Therapeutic support with heart, honesty and lived understanding of mental health.
What is Recovery Coaching?
Recovery Coaching is an NDIS-funded support for people living with psychosocial disability. While some Recovery Coaches focus on systems and services, my approach is deeply therapeutic and person-centered.
I work with people who seek emotional support, meaningful connections, and someone to walk alongside them as they navigate life's challenges. Together, we work through mental health barriers, explore goals and gently build a life that feels aligned with who you are.
What Makes My Approach Different?
What sets me apart is not just my professional background, but also the way I approach this work.
I bring together over 20 years of experience in mental health, along with formal qualifications in Counselling and Life Coaching. More than that, I bring lived experience. I know what it's like to face the system, to live with Mental Health Challenges and to keep showing up for yourself even when it's hard.
My work is grounded in the values of:
- Transparency. I communicate openly and honestly, so you always know where you stand.
- Trust. I value building strong, genuine relationships based on mutual respect, safety and authentic connection.
- Respect. I honour who you are as a whole person, your experiences, identity, values and the unique path you are on.
- Openness. I meet you where you are without judgment, and I will be as open with you as you are with me.
- Integrity. I consistently show up with genuineness, care and heart. You'll always get the real me.
The Benefits of Working with a Recovery Coach
Recovery coaching offers more than just support; it’s about having someone beside you who truly sees you, hears you, and helps you move forward in a way that feels meaningful and manageable.
Some of the key benefits include:
• Personalised support focused on your mental health, identity, and goals
• A safe and consistent relationship where you feel understood, respected, and not alone
• Guidance to overcome emotional barriers like self-doubt, fear, or past trauma
• Encouragement to build confidence, self-worth, and independence
• Accountability and motivation to help you stay focused without pressure
• Time and space to explore your values, purpose, and what matters most to you
• A trusted partner in your recovery journey, who is real, reliable, and relatable
Working with a Recovery Coach isn’t about fixing you; it’s about walking beside you, helping you reconnect with your own strength, and supporting you in living life on your terms.

"Astarea really get's me. I don't talk much at times, but she never pushes. She's patient and kind. I feel safe with her. She helps me with things at my pace, and I really like that"
"I've worked with Astarea for 9 years. It usually takes me a long time to trust people, but with her, it was easy. I felt safe from the start. I could open up and share things I've never told anyone. She listens, she understands, and I trust her always to show up"
