Recovery coaching, one-to-one
I'm Darren. I work with people who need more than a weekly aftercare call, whether they are preparing for treatment, coming home or rebuilding. Real structure, honest accountability, and someone who has walked the same road, wherever in the world you are.
No pressure, no obligation. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you to someone who is.
Working across the UK · Bali · Spain, and online everywhere
The work is personal. I draw on my lived experience of addiction and recovery to help people turn good intentions into practical next steps.
Practical support for people who know something has to change and want guidance from someone who understands recovery from the inside.
Calm, structured guidance for families preparing to talk with someone about accepting support.
In-person sober support for travel, transitions, early recovery or high-risk periods when someone needs direct practical support.
Recovery support can happen face to face or remotely. The right setting depends on the person, the family, the urgency and the plan.
"You can only start the work when you're ready to start within."
Darren O'Neill, Start Within Recovery
Families often do not know which rehab centre to trust. I can help people compare options in Bali, Spain and the UK, focusing on fit, safety, aftercare and the questions that need clear answers.
I offer direct, practical support shaped by my own experience of addiction and recovery. I work with individuals and families before, during and after treatment, helping them find a realistic next step without judgement or pressure.
