Welcome to Steps Within
Recovery is about so much more than stopping drinking or using substances. It’s about rebuilding your confidence, finding your peace, and learning to love yourself again.
Created by women with lived experience of addiction and recovery, our organisation was built from a place of genuine understanding, compassion, and hope.
We believe recovery happens through connection, honesty, laughter, support, and learning to trust yourself again. Whether you are taking their very first steps into sobriety or rebuilding after difficult setbacks, we want you to know you are worthy of a beautiful, fulfilling life.
Steps Within is more than a recovery housing. It’s a community of women supporting women get sober, every step of the way.
Help to grow
We provide a recovery-focused home for women committed to sobriety. You'll have a small group of supportive housemates, you’ll build independence while staying connected to a strong recovery network.
Every resident receives peer mentorship, attends a local recovery program, and benefits from mental health support, education guidance, and financial advice.
You’ll never be alone in your journey, we’re here to help every step of the way.
12 Step Fellowship
We guide you to join a 12-step fellowship helping you find meetings, a sponsor, and a supportive community to strengthen your recovery journey.
Weekly Therapy Sessions
Therapy is a vital part of recovery. Our in-house therapist offers weekly support, helping you rebuild confidence, navigate challenges, and gain tools to create a fulfilling life.
Reiki
We offer two-day Reiki workshops designed to teach you self-healing techniques that support your own recovery journey.
Peer to Peer Mentorship
Peer mentorship connects you with women who have walked this path before. They offer guidance, encouragement, and real-life experience to help you stay strong in your recovery.
Our incredible team of amazing individuals
Sinead
I’m in recovery myself and, after working across a variety of different sectors, I decided to create Steps Within to help support other women on their recovery journeys. I’m very hands-on within the service, so you’ll usually be able to catch me most days if you have any questions, need support, or simply want a chat.

I’m a Recovery and Operations Coordinator at Steps Within, supporting women in supported living with empathy, structure and genuine care. As someone in recovery myself since 2022, I understand the importance of feeling safe, heard and supported. I’m also studying counselling at Eastleigh College to further support women rebuilding their lives.

My role is to support and empower you with the skills and confidence to live independently. We’ll start with a housing and support needs assessment to understand where you’re at and create a support plan together. Weekly support sessions are a key part of your stay, helping you build knowledge, confidence and everyday living skills at your own pace.
