About Helen Mac
I’m Helen Mac - Alcohol-Free Coach and Mentor.
I work with women who are emotionally aware, quietly successful, and starting to feel misaligned with how alcohol lives in their lives.
Together, we untangle the habits, beliefs, and internal negotiations that have kept you stuck - and build something steadier in its place.
Not just sobriety. But self-trust. Alignment. A way of living that actually feels like yours.
By the end of a busy week running my recruitment business, wine felt like a reward.
But the consequences were creeping in - and they were getting harder to ignore.
You know the routine:
Sunday - foggy and flat
Monday and Tuesday - dragging through
Wednesday - almost yourself again
Thursday - already eyeing the bottle
Half the week spent drinking.
The other half recovering.
And somewhere in the middle, I felt myself disappearing.
From the outside, I was holding it all together.
But inside, I was tired, disconnected - and done negotiating with myself.
So in January 2024, I pressed pause.
Quietly. Intentionally. Without a big announcement.
I just wanted to know who I’d be without it.
It didn’t start with a crisis. It started with a quiet sense: this isn’t how I want to live.
What happened next surprised me
I started waking up rested.
I began enjoying my full days - not just the parts leading to wine o’clock. Slowly, I started recognising myself again.
What changed wasn’t who I was.
It was a steady return to the version of me I’d been holding at arm’s length.
By April, I knew I wasn’t going back.
Life had shifted. I had more space, more steadiness, and a deeper kind of peace that stuck around.
With that clarity, I trained professionally - earning a triple-accredited Diploma in Coaching & Positive Psychology, alongside a specialist qualification in Alcohol-Free Performance Coaching.
At 54, I feel more alive and more grounded than I ever did in my 30s.
Now I support women to experience that same shift - with honesty, depth, and a path that actually feels like theirs.
Coaching was the catalyst that helped me move from going through the motions to feeling genuinely in charge of my life again. It gave me space to think clearly, ask better questions, and take aligned action - without needing to justify or perform.
This work is not about fixing. It’s about revealing what’s already there — and learning how to trust it.
When we work together, we start exactly where you are. No judgement. No rules. Just honest reflection, practical support, and the kind of momentum that comes from finally hearing yourself clearly.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about living in a way that feels congruent, steady, and real.

If weekends feel like a cycle on repeat and your days feel a little out of tune, there’s another way to live one that doesn’t require escape, negotiation, or recovery.
This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming back to the version of you that’s been waiting underneath it all.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
I’m here when you’re ready.
Pause & Reflect is a gentle self-check-in designed to help you explore your relationship with alcohol - without guilt, pressure, or rules. Through seven simple questions, you’ll gain clarity on what’s really going on for you, uncover which of the five “drinker types” you most identify with, and start reconnecting with the confident, authentic you underneath it all.
This isn’t about labels or judgment - it’s simply a quiet reflection pool for women who are ready to listen to their own inner wisdom.
