8-WEEK ONLINE GROUP PROGRAM. NEXT COHORT OPENS LATER THIS YEAR.
You're not broken.
You're just looping.
For people with ADHD who are ready to change their relationship with alcohol - without shame, without strict rules, and without pretending they have it all figured out.
Waitlist members get early access + first notification when enrolment opens.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
If this is you,
you're in the right place
You're not someone who's lost everything to drinking. You're someone who wonders, quietly, if alcohol is getting in your way more than it should.
You drink to decompress after a day of masking and managing
You know the rules — you just can't seem to stick to them
You've Googled "am I drinking too much" more than once
You use alcohol to quiet an overactive brain
The hangovers hit your ADHD harder than everyone else's seem to
You're functioning just fine, and that's exactly why no one takes it seriously
This isn't about having a "problem." It's about having a pattern you'd like to change — on your own terms, in your own time, with people who genuinely get it.
THE PROGRAM
What is Breaking the Loop?
Breaking the Loop is an 8-week online group coaching program designed specifically for people with ADHD who are in the grey area with alcohol.
Not rock bottom. Not "fine." Somewhere in between, and ready to do something about it.
Each week combines live group sessions, self-paced content and a community of people who understand the intersection of neurodivergence and alcohol — because they're living it too.
What’s included
8 x Weekly Live Group Sessions
Held via Zoom with a small, supportive cohort. Real conversations, not performances.
Self-Paced Weekly Content
Videos, resources, and tools released each week to explore in your own time — designed for ADHD brains, not neurotypical ones.
The Neuroscience Behind the Loop
Understand why ADHD and alcohol have such a complicated relationship — and why willpower was never going to fix it.
A Framework That Actually Fits Your Brain
No one-size-fits-all sobriety scripts here. You'll leave with tools that make sense for how you actually think and feel.
Facilitated by a Registered Counsellor + ADHD Coach + Grey Area Drinking Coach
Who also happens to have lived experience. Flawed human to flawed human.
YOUR FACILITATOR
Hi, I’m Faye.
Registered Counsellor | Certified Grey Area Drinking Coach | ADHD Coach | BSocSc (Psych) | PGDip (Couns)
I'm a registered counsellor, ADHD coach, and grey area drinking coach based in Brisbane. I have eight years of sobriety and a late ADHD diagnosis — both of which completely reframed how I understood my own relationship with alcohol.
I created Breaking the Loop because the programs that existed when I needed help weren't built for brains like mine. Too rigid. Too shame-based. Too focused on the drinking and not enough on the why.
Before this work, I spent years in executive leadership and consulting, so I understand the pressure to keep it all together while quietly unravelling inside.
Member of Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and Australian ADHD Professionals Association (AADPA). And Mum to young neurospicy adults.
“I’ve taken the pressure off myself massively. I’ve focused on other areas of the ADHD management such as reducing stress and load which has helped with my overall day to day wellbeing and reduced need/want/thoughts of alcohol. I’ve realised how much of a huge part the understanding of the ADHD plays on removing alcohol.”
—UT, CEO, USA “This programme has been a game changer for me. I have taken many alcohol breaks but there has been a psychological shift in me that has enabled me to realise that an alcohol free life is the way forward and instead of dreading it, I'm actually excited about it.”
— IL, Psychologist, UK“This program has given me a lot of opportunities to sit back and study myself in a much more positive way than I’ve ever done before in my life. It’s given me tools, community, and insight — it’s helped me make sense of so many things. I feel strengthened by the care and concern and beautiful support for each other — it’s almost like a virtual hug.”
— MN, Ops Manager, Brisbane"This isn't just about drinking less. It's about understanding why you drink, what to do differently and to feel more equipped to sustain those changes because you’re working with your ADHD brain.”

Questions
-
That’s okay — this isn’t an abstinence-only space. You don’t need to be sober or aiming for sobriety forever to benefit.
While most members will be aiming to reduce significantly or stop for the 8 weeks. What matters most is that you’re curious, open and ready to look at your patterns with honesty and self-compassion.
Disclaimer: This program is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment. If you are physically dependent on alcohol, please seek professional medical support before making changes to your drinking. -
Nope. Many of our members are self-identified and haven’t pursued formal diagnosis. If you relate to ADHD traits and find alcohol is part of your coping, this is for you.
Other neurodivergent folk are welcome too! I regularly work with AuDHDers and ASDers. -
Breaking the Loop is a coaching and education program, not therapy. That said, it's facilitated by a registered counsellor and approaches the topic with genuine clinical depth. If you're in acute crisis, please reach out to a mental health professional directly.
-
Yes! We’ve welcomed participants from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, USA and Canada. Session times will be scheduled accordingly, with details confirmed each cohort.
-
You’ll have access to a private group video app which will be active daily where you can ask questions, receive coaching, and get support from both me and other group members throughout the program.
-
No! The program has been designed with this in mind with the bulk of the learning materials and group participation will be done by short psychoeducation videos, zoom or on our group coaching video app.
There will be worksheets and some readings, but there’s no requirement to engage with them. -
Full pricing is shared when enrolment opens. Payment plan options are available. Joining the waitlist means you'll be notified first — and early bird pricing is occasionally offered to waitlist members.
Disclaimer: This program is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment. If you are physically dependent on alcohol, please seek professional medical support before making changes to your drinking.
“Game. Changer. Although it has helped being a lot more mentally 'ready' for the decision to overcome my dependence, having Faye’s support and accountability and personal experience/understanding has made my journey all that more successful this time around.”
— CF, Allied Health, VIC, Aus“Non-judgemental with lots of positive energy. Faye is caring, firm and funny. A great combination to engage with when you are trying to stay motivated. I was very impressed by the breadth of her knowledge of ADHD & alcohol. The whole experience was a delight”.
— DQ, Finance Professional, USA“It’s been quite incredible — such a brilliant idea to really target the ADHD interaction, because it makes it a remarkably different journey. Every week I thought, ‘There’s no way I can do it,’ and yet here I am. You helped me through the RSD and the fear.”
— LG, Consultant, UK
