About Hamish Noah

Rooted in lived experience

Hamish Noah

I'm a recovery coach who helps people break free from addictive patterns and find their way back after relapse. My work is influenced by my training in Mindfulness-Based Addiction Recovery (MBAR), developed by my teacher Vimalasara and Dr Paramabandhu Groves, a former NHS psychiatrist specialising in addictions.

With nearly a decade of coaching experience and three years supporting people through recovery, I help others move forward faster — not through judgement, but by learning from relapse with compassion, curiosity and clarity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone who's experienced a relapse and wants to get back on track — without judgement or pressure.

It's especially helpful if you feel stuck and want tools and resources that will help — but you're not quite ready to join a group or engage in 1:1 support. You want something you can do at your own pace.

It draws on my recovery coaching experience with men — but it's suitable for people of any gender or background.

What will I get if I purchase the course?

Once you purchase the course, you'll get lifetime access to 5 self-paced learning modules consisting of video lessons and supporting course materials — including journal prompts, reflection worksheets, nervous system calming practices, guided meditations, and info sheets.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. If you're not happy, you get 100% of your money back — at any time.

No one has ever asked me for a refund, for any amount.

What if I relapse during the course?

That's ok. You're human.

Relapse is the reason this course exists.

If you slip up during the course, you can keep going. In fact, you'll probably find it even more helpful in that moment — because it gives you tools to:

  • Make sense of what happened
  • Calm your system
  • Get back on track
What is mindfulness-based addiction recovery (MBAR)?

MBAR is an approach that uses mindfulness, meditation, and self-reflection to support recovery — blending western psychology with ancient eastern wisdom.

It was developed by Dr. Paramabandhu Groves (a former NHS psychiatrist specialising in addictions) and Vimalasara Mason-John (a world-leading recovery and mindfulness expert and Chair of Vancouver Buddhist Centre).

MBAR isn't about fixing you — it's about learning to observe, accept, and respond to what's going on beneath the surface, so you can make lasting change from a place of self-compassion and self-understanding.

Do I have to be sober to start the course?

No — you don't need to be sober or “ready to quit forever.”

This course meets you where you are. Whether you're days, weeks, or months into recovery — or still figuring things out — it helps you:

  • Understand your patterns
  • Build stability
  • Move forward at your own pace

No judgement. No pressure. Just support.

Is this course suitable for different kinds of addiction?

Yes. While most of my 1:1 work is helping men change their relationship with alcohol and drugs, the core tools in this course apply to all kinds of addiction.

The focus is on what's underneath the pattern — and how to respond with care, curiosity, and structure.

Can I do this alongside therapy, AA, or other support?

Absolutely. This course is designed to complement other approaches — not replace them.

It works well alongside:

  • Therapy or counselling
  • 12-step groups (AA, NA, SAA)
  • Coaching or peer support

You'll find practical tools you can integrate into whatever path you're already on.
