Addiction and alcoholism consultancy for film, 
theatre & tv 

With a growing depiction of characters with addiction problems on film, 
television and in theatre, there is an 
increased demand to be factually 
accurate and true to life. Inauthentic representations of addicts and 
alcoholics can be damaging to those 
who struggle with these conditions 
and can reinforce negative stereotypes and inaccurate public and personal perceptions. 

My work as an actor and director 
alongside my 20 years in active 
addiction and 10 years of recovery, 
have given me a unique insight into 
portrayals around these themes. 
As a coach and consultant I can provide theatre or film production companies 
with a wealth of safeguarding 
experience, and advice regarding the 
representation of addicts and addiction, both vital when dealing with these 
sensitive subjects.  

Creative MENTORSHIP

If you are a writer, actor, director, 
producer, dramaturg, or executive, 
be assured that the insight brought 
to you through my lived-experience of 
addiction could be an invaluable tool 
in bringing the requisite realism to 
your story or performance. I also have a wide network of colleagues and 
creativeswho could meet your needs 
if they were beyond my own capacity of areas of expertise.

AVaiLABILiTY AND RATES

I keep my schedule highly flexible to 
allow for professional consultancy and mentorship. 
Rates are dependant on size of project, numbers of people and days required. 
A working estimate however is 
between £150-250 per hour. 
This can also be subject to change, 
for example, if you are a charity.

Feel free to also refer to my suite of 
addiction workshops if they would be 
of use.
