What twenty-five years of coaching builds.
U-ACT's roots are in recovery coaching — training coaches with lived experience to guide others, and measuring what that guidance actually returns.
Recovery capital, measured
Research consistently shows recovery coaching returns roughly £7 in social and economic value for every £1 invested — a return built from reduced relapse, stronger family systems, and people returning to sustained employment and community life. U-ACT's coaches train with that outcome as the actual goal, not a side effect of the qualification.
A lived-experience workforce
Every U-ACT-certified coach trains within a Lived Experience Recovery Organisation model — practitioners with their own recovery journey, trained to a professional standard rather than left to rely on personal experience alone. That combination is what CLERO accreditation formally recognises.
Reach across five nations
What began as a single practice has trained and certified coaches across the UK, South Africa, the Netherlands, Uganda, and Zambia — different recovery systems and cultures, held together by the same Ubuntu principle: recovery is relational, not solitary.
