Addiction Recovery Support in London and Across the UK
Recovery does not end when active use stops.
Addiction reaches into every part of a person's life. Soft Landing Wellness provides structured, trauma-informed support for people in recovery from alcohol, drugs, and behavioural addiction, at any stage of the journey.
What Life in Addiction Recovery Actually Looks Like
Active addiction shapes the nervous system, identity, relationships, and daily routine in ways that do not simply resolve when substance use stops. For many people, sobriety or abstinence is not the end of the work. It is the beginning of a different and equally demanding kind of it.
The early weeks and months of recovery involve navigating a body and mind that have been profoundly altered by prolonged use. Cravings, emotional dysregulation, disrupted sleep, shame, and the gradual rebuilding of a life that feels worth living are all part of this territory. Without consistent, grounded support, the risk of relapse or crisis during this period is significant.
Formal clinical treatment, whether residential, outpatient, or detox, provides structure and containment. What often follows discharge is a structural gap: a drop in support at precisely the point where the hardest work begins.
Soft Landing Wellness was built for this gap. Not as a replacement for clinical or therapeutic care, but as the steady, consistent, trauma-informed support that helps people remain stable and rebuild.
What the Early Stages of Recovery Often Involve
The experience of early and ongoing recovery can include:
-
Intense cravings and urges, particularly in response to stress, boredom, or familiar environments
-
Nervous system dysregulation, whether hypervigilance, emotional flooding, or a persistent sense of flatness
-
Disrupted sleep patterns and difficulty maintaining basic daily routine
-
Loss of identity outside of substance use
-
Shame, guilt, and difficulty tolerating uncomfortable emotions without numbing
-
Social isolation, strained relationships, and the challenge of rebuilding trust
-
The pressure to perform wellness before genuinely feeling it
-
Grief for the life that substance use occupied, however painful that life was
A note on scope: Soft Landing Wellness is not a clinical or therapeutic service. We do not provide detox support, medical advice, or crisis intervention. We work within clearly defined boundaries and maintain ethical referral pathways to clinical services where needed. Our support is designed to sit alongside your existing treatment, not replace it.
Who We Support
If you are in recovery from alcohol, drugs, or behavioural addiction
Whether you have recently completed a residential programme, are managing your recovery independently, or are several months or years into sobriety and looking for more sustained support, Soft Landing is designed for you. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
If you are supporting someone in addiction recovery
Watching a person you care about navigate recovery can be exhausting and uncertain, particularly when formal treatment has ended. Soft Landing offers structured, consistent support for your person alongside any ongoing clinical care. We are glad to speak with family members directly during the discovery call.
If you are a therapist, GP, psychiatrist, or treatment provider
Soft Landing works within clear scope-of-practice boundaries and functions as a complementary service rather than a competing one. We welcome referrals from clinical teams and are happy to liaise with your practice where appropriate. Our structured intake process and ethical referral pathways are designed with professional confidence in mind.
Levels of Care
We meet you where you are, not where we think you should be.

Weekly Timetable
Our weekly programme runs Monday to Saturday, with four structured sessions each day. Every client, regardless of tier, attends the morning and evening group sessions — these form the consistent rhythm of the week. Individual sessions are allocated according to your tier, woven into the schedule to ensure that support feels steady and manageable rather than overwhelming.

Session allocation is designed to match the level of contact appropriate to each tier. Tier 3 clients attend live sessions only, providing a reliable weekly structure without the intensity of individual work. Tier 2 clients receive one individual session per week alongside both live sessions, while Tier 1 clients receive two. All individual sessions are held with Melanie or Keith and are tailored to your current needs, whether that draws on coaching, somatic practice, or psychoeducation. Sunday is a rest day across all tiers — no sessions are scheduled, and none are expected.

Led By People Who Understand From The Inside
Soft Landing Wellness was founded by Melanie and Keith — two practitioners who bring both professional training and lived experience of recovery to everything they do.
Meet Melanie
Melanie holds qualifications across multiple disciplines including yoga therapy, meditation, breathwork, nutrition, and sound healing. Her approach is deeply client-focused, shaped by years of direct experience supporting people through recovery and rebuilding.
Melanie is in recovery herself, and it is this lived understanding, alongside her professional training, that informs everything she brings to Soft Landing. She knows what it feels like to need support that is calm, consistent, and free from pressure, and she built this service to offer exactly that.
Keith brings qualifications in yoga, meditation, breathwork, Pilates, and martial arts, along with a natural ability to make movement and regulation practices feel genuinely accessible, whatever someone's starting point.
Keith is in recovery himself, and that experience sits at the heart of how he works. He has spent years helping people reconnect with their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, and he approaches every client with the same warmth, patience, and grounded encouragement he would have wanted for himself.
