Simon Mason Recovery Services
Simon Mason.
RECOVERY COACH, INTERVENTIONIST, SOBER COMPANION, AUTHOR & MUSICIAN.
The fundamental requirement of a recovery coach is to possess both an understanding of the nature of addiction, and the various methods by which it can be successfully addressed. The ability to communicate in a believable, demonstrable, and attractive manner that recovery is not only possible, but desirable, is what I do best. I have a proven track record, having successfully coached men from the ages of 21 to 60, in recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction, both as a live-in and online mentor. I also have worked alongside numerous clinicians supporting men with mental health issues.

Full-time Drug Addict
I was a full-time drug addict, who occasionally made music.
I understand addiction, in all its forms. Not only do I understand how recovery works, but I also have a
remarkable talent to communicate how recovery works. This is reinforced with the lived experience to demonstrate what recovery can look like. I communicate empathetically, it’s what I do best.
I have a current DBS, clean driving license, valid passport, and personal liability insurance with WestminsterInsurance Services.
In 2024 I was awarded a certificate of appreciation on behalf of the mayor and charter trustees of Margate,
“In appreciation of your outstanding work and support of the health needs of our town”
I have been completely free of all mood-altering substances since June 2006.
