Watch My New TEDX Talk: "The surprising stigma of sobriety"

About Me

As a neuroscience expert, executive coach and mentor for more than 30 years, I help people find ways to calm their nervous system, reset their brain chemistry and make friends with their brain, working with it rather than against it.

Nowhere is that more important than when changing your relationship with alcohol.

SO THIS IS ME

Gill McKay

After a corporate career specialising in HR, Training and Development, I qualified as an executive coach, working with hundreds of clients to build their confidence and find clarity and balance in their lives. And for more than 20 years, I have trained coaches, therapists, HR and wellness professionals to deepen their results through using neuroscience in their work

Now I use what I’ve learned to help people just like you find personal freedom from drinking alcohol. I’ll show you how to ....

BEING INQUISITIVE

Being curious stimulates my brain and inspires me to grow and learn to be the best version of myself.

SELF-CARE

As a coach, friend, mother, wife, human on mother earth - I have an inbuilt responsibility of care.

SPEAKING TRUTH

Living lies has harmed me and I am most affected when experiencing and witnessing inequality and unfairness in the world.

My Story

Quitting the wine in 2017 has been a life changing journey back to health – and most importantly to liking myself again. I discovered a new me, and rediscovered parts of me I loved yet had drowned out with the booze. I connected with myself in a way I had never done before, at peace, happy and full of zest for life. I learned to look in the mirror and like the person looking back at me. I started living, not just existing....

An “empty nester” with 3 young adult kids, I live in London with my husband and 2 arthritic chocolate labradors. I enjoy running, writing, cooking, parties, dancing, comedy shows, crime novels and travelling anywhere to see Take That and Cold Play in concert!

"I cannot recommend this amazing woman more highly. Gill is exceptionally smart, insightful and talented. Her knowledge of neuroscience and its applications is second to none. Her new programme for drinkers who wish to quit and live a sober and completely fulfilled life is absolutely awesome. If you’re sitting on the fence and wondering whether to engage Gill, do it today! It’s a decision your future self will thank you for forever."

- Jane B, England

"Gill's insight and experience, warm yet challenging way of working developed great awareness and personal insight. The deeper understanding I have gained has resulted in me having much more confidence, knowing where and when to draw on my strengths both personally and professionally. This has impacted on me being more self-aware of my communication style, taking decisions and positive steps forward."

- Olivia C, England

"Gill has such a fantastic, genuine, supportive way of connecting with me. Her passion for coaching and her knowledge is immense. The sessions were enlightening and astonishing, enabling me to see clearly what I needed to be doing to get results and finally ditch the booze. I never felt judged or criticised – in fact I learned not to judge or criticise myself so I could truly move on. Such an inspirational coach."

- Jules B, Netherlands

Why I Do It

My passion is catalysing people to discover the key to unlock themselves from their personal shackles. It can certainly feel like drink can permanently lock us in and yet there is always a key to be found. It is there, I promise. All my work is underpinned by the triple C principles of “Compassion, Connection and Creation”, moving clients from being inquisitive about sobriety to embracing alcohol-free living.
