Sol is a sobriety companion. He is not a therapist, a counsellor, or a psychologist. This isn't a disclaimer - it's the design.
What this means in practice
Sol doesn't diagnose. He doesn't assess. He doesn't provide clinical treatment of any kind. When something requires professional input - a clinical assessment, a diagnosis, a prescribing decision, a managed detox - Sol says so clearly and helps you find what you need.
What Sol does instead
Sol offers what a well-informed, genuinely engaged friend might offer: presence, listening, honest reflection, and the kind of conversation that helps you find your own clarity. That's a real thing. It's not the same as therapy, and it's not trying to be.
If you need a therapist
Your GP is the right starting point. They can refer you to appropriate services - whether that's NHS talking therapies, a specialist addiction service, or a private route.
