Is the Academy only for people who want to become coaches?
No. The Academy includes three pathways: accredited coach training, 1:1 coaching for personal support, and self-paced programmes for people who want structured tools they can work through in their own time.
Which pathway should I choose?
Choose Coach Training if you want a professional accreditation. Choose 1:1 Coaching if you want personalised support with Ange. Choose the self-paced programme if you want structured support you can complete independently.
Do I need to be ready to stop drinking completely?
No. Mind The Sip is focused on mindful drinking, behaviour change and self-awareness. You can use the Academy pathways whether your goal is to cut back, take a break, drink more intentionally, or move toward alcohol-free living.
Can I do 1:1 coaching before joining the Coach Training?
