For high-achieving professionals who want direct, confidential support built entirely around their own story and goals.
Some people are ready to do this work but are not ready to do it in a group. They want a space that is entirely their own. A conversation that goes at their pace, follows their story, and is not shared with anyone else.
One-to-one coaching is for the professional who values privacy, who has a demanding schedule that needs flexibility, or whose specific circumstances call for a more tailored approach than a structured group program can offer.
If you have tried the group route and want to go deeper, or if private support is simply the right fit for where you are right now, this is the pathway for you.
Every one-to-one engagement begins with a conversation. Sarah takes the time to understand your specific relationship with alcohol, the pressures and context of your professional and personal life, and what you are hoping to achieve. From there, the coaching is built entirely around you.
Sessions draw on the same CCHANGE10 framework that underpins Sarah’s group coaching, adapted to your individual pace, challenges and goals. There is no fixed timeline or rigid structure. The work moves at the speed that is right for you.
Sarah brings over 20 years of experience across counselling, coaching, psychology and philosophy to every private engagement. Her approach combines the rigour of clinical training with the relatability of lived experience. She has been where you are and she knows how to help you move forward.

Sarah Connelly is an accredited Master Grey Area Drinking Coach, counsellor and speaker based in Brisbane, Australia. She has been personally trained by Jolene Park, the global originator of the grey area drinking concept, and brings over 20 years of study across coaching, counselling, psychology, philosophy, NLP and trauma-informed practice.
She quit drinking in 2019 after years of high-functioning grey area drinking while running a business, raising a family and presenting as someone who had everything together. That lived experience is central to how she coaches. She understands the professional context from the inside and she brings that understanding to every private session.
Since 2020 Sarah has supported hundreds of professionals across Australia and internationally to change their relationship with alcohol. Her private clients include pharmacists, CEOs, financial advisors, healthcare professionals and senior leaders.
The 30-Day Power Pause is a structured group program delivered to a small cohort over 30 days. One-to-one coaching is entirely private, completely flexible in structure, and built around your individual story, pace and goals. There is no group element. Everything is between you and Sarah.
This varies from person to person. Some clients work with Sarah intensively over a short period. Others prefer an ongoing coaching relationship over several months. Sarah will discuss the right approach during your initial conversation.
Sessions are held online, which means you can work with Sarah from anywhere. This also makes scheduling easier for busy professionals with unpredictable calendars.
