Mark Drax
ICF Certified Coach
Location: South West
Mark Drax transitioned from a career in commerce in late 2012, driven by a desire to support individuals impacted by addiction. His personal journey through addiction began in 2004, a period he describes as a time of confusion, fear, and isolation. This struggle ultimately led him to seek recovery not only from addiction but also from the lingering effects of childhood abuse experienced three decades prior. Currently, Mark works as an Addiction Recovery Coach, assisting individuals in navigating their way out of despair and the cycle of addiction. Empowered by his own experience of taking courageous steps toward change, he guides clients through the often intimidating process of transforming ingrained behaviors. His aim is to help them move beyond cravings and achieve lasting freedom from addiction. Drawing on his own path, Mark helps clients confront and process buried emotions like pain, anger, fear, and shame, which often disrupt daily life. He facilitates an exploration of their emotional landscape, encouraging the discovery of healthier coping mechanisms that align with their authentic selves – the unblemished and original core that he helps them reclaim. Mark equips clients with practical techniques and emotional tools for sustainable application, offering ongoing support and feedback throughout their recovery. He aspires to be a supportive figure, helping clients turn to him rather than succumbing to old, detrimental habits. Mark assists individuals facing the complexities of recovery from addiction, trauma, and abuse. He also facilitates group workshops covering various facets of addiction, shame, vulnerability, and the journey toward emotional health and connection. Having navigated his early life and the aftermath of abuse in isolation, Mark understands the challenges of feeling lost. He believes that simply wishing for happiness is insufficient. He offers personalized coaching, allowing individuals to progress at their own pace. He commits to providing a supportive, non-judgmental space and to helping clients build a future grounded in peace. Mark expresses his sincere gratitude for your interest and welcomes all inquiries.
