High 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.

Really solid service Really solid service. I have changed as a person because of the HG resources and coach that I started working with. I didn't have specific goals in mind, but coaching helped me in many areas of my life, while also having someone to talk to about my experiences, difficulties, and learnings over the 20 weeks. If you can't afford coaching, I would still absolutely recommend Dr K's Guide to Mental Health to anyone and everyone. It has the kind of information and wisdom that I wish was taught in schools. How are we supposed to play Life skilfully if we were never taught how to play? My only qualm is that unless you really have something that you want to achieve going in, the 20 weeks can go by quickly without having specific goals set that you are moving towards. My words of advice would be to go through the 'Doing stuff' materials of Dr K's Guide immediately so you know how to make goals that you care about, and really push for your coach to keep you to them.

Amazing experience Speaking from my personal experience, even the first session with Coach Lam completely changed my life. I'm so much happier now than before. I've discovered a new hobby that really fuels my day-to-day life. Coach Lam really knows how to ask the right questions. Thank you once again.

I 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.

Hypocrites 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.
