Naz Hassan, founder of Phoenix Guardians
Founded by Naz Hassan

You're not a case to be managed. You're a person.

Naz Hassan founded Phoenix Guardians on a simple belief: that lasting recovery only happens when the person in front of you is treated as a whole human being, not a diagnosis. With over a decade of professional practice and eighteen years of his own sobriety, Naz brings something rare to this work: lived experience matched with specialist training.

"Recovery is possible. And no one has to walk the path alone."

Voices of recovery

What people say.

Personal recovery

I met Naz at a time when I thought life was about as bad as it could get. He stood by me the whole way, with endless kindness and patience, combined with some much-needed truth, and an ability to get me to listen when nobody else could.

Family member seeking help

Naz evolved from a sober coach to a friend, and remains a pillar of support for my son, who is now in a remarkably good place, in large part because of Naz's knowledge and compassionate approach.

Q&A

Common questions, answered simply.

Short, plain-English answers to the questions individuals and families ask us most.

  • ADHD and relapse patterns

    ADHD can affect impulsivity, emotional regulation and consistency, which can make recovery harder to sustain. Understanding that pattern can change the way support is planned.

  • How to talk to someone about addiction

    Start calmly, avoid blame, and focus on what you have noticed. The aim is not to win an argument, it is to open a conversation.

  • When to consider an intervention

    Intervention may be appropriate when conversations keep breaking down, risk is escalating, or the family feels stuck. It is not always the first answer.

  • What families should avoid saying

    Avoid threats, shame, lectures or repeated arguments. These often increase defensiveness and make it harder to reach the person.

  • ADHD coaching vs therapy

    Coaching is practical and forward-focused. Therapy usually explores emotional history and deeper psychological patterns. Some people benefit from both.

  • Access to Work for ADHD coaching

    Clients can explore Access to Work funding directly with the government. You apply yourself - we can point you toward the right resources.

Begin with one private conversation.

You do not need to explain everything at once. A quiet first step is enough.
