GBAn incredible program with even better coaches! My experience was made by my coach. They were incredibly, patient, flexible, adaptable and supportive with the goals I had for myself. I was extremely stressed out about my job, faltering direction in life and lack of progress. My coach took the time to understand my situation, my thoughts, concerns and me as a person. The advice given was not only personable but actionable which led to vast improvements over time. I have really appreciated this program and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to improve my life.

GBHigh Quality Coaching and Strong Sub-clinical Service My coach was excellent. I found myself regularly rating her pretty highly on the post-evaluation surveys. I signed up for Career Coaching and found myself focusing on career-adjacent matters 30% of the time and the rest of the time talking about things that could probably be topics for therapists. That said, I feel like I had some conversations better than what I've had with therapists in the past (i.e. conversations that actually felt like they led to me taking productive action to address the things that caused me problems). I'm probably going to switch to therapy after my last coaching session in a couple weeks, but I feel like I will be able to make better use of that time for reaching my goals now.

AUHypocrites and Frauds Hypocrites and frauds. They claim to care about helping people but are happy to let millions suffer when they could easily help, even when they would have been compensated. I was a long time subscriber and a customer and they treated me incredibly rudely with immense disrespect.

GBdo not recommend. Could be a money scam. Overall, it did not help me. Coaches are 100% hit or miss and theres no screening process for clients to try their coaches. Why am I paying upwards of $50 a session to talk to an unqualified individual who is supposed to help me understand and resolve my issues? More details on the coaching experience I received: 2020: I received 8 free personal coaching lessons from a coach "in training". The coach did not particularly add anything useful in helping me explore my issues. However, they did validate my emotions. 2022: I received 8 weeks of free career coaching (per their pilot program). I think this coach was decent because he was actually trained and he seemed competent. The problem was that I couldn't do the things he wanted to me to do. 2023: I paid for 8 weeks of personal coaching with someone who should've been trained. He seemed smart. The problem is that he wasn't helpful at all. I felt that he didn't care to try to help me with my issues. Like, I had to lead the conversations and do all the work. It was not worth it. A complete miss on Healthy Gamer's side.

GBI did a coaching session with someone… I did a coaching session with someone last year and I would like to say that I did not find the experience helpful. I was having a conversation with the coach and was telling her how me and my friends always joke around with each other and about each other, often playfully making fun of each other. Sometimes I made mistakes but my friends always successfully made me feel better by joking about my mistake and showing love(that's how we show love to each other). She began to compare me with her acquaintance. Someone who she told me was used as a laughing stock by his friends. And although he "loved" his friends, he was still visibly hurt by the jokes. She continued blabbering about this guy and it really felt like she was talking about someone who I could not relate to, however, in her mind she was convinced that by sharing this story I would somehow gain wisdom and share the specific emotional pain she thought I was experiencing. It was a complete waste of time, however, I was very stressed about my work & relationship at the time and was feeling insecure so I was open-minded about her story and let her speak. In this case she was not the coach for me and it felt like she was trying to deeply psychoanalyse me and find something that is not there(common mistake, to be fair) Looking back(although I guess we can't trust memories) she lacked the experience to successfully to understand me, my feelings and my goals(which I don't blame her since I am not necessarily an open book). And she lacked the technical knowledge and experience of how to get there. I understand her intention and empathise with her. But still not good experience for me, personally. This was on my mind today, therefore, I have decided to write this post. I put effort into making it as accurate and honest as possible.
