The Happiness Guy - Glasgow

Joseph M.

Joe (retired Social Worker)

Having taken early retirement I found myself lacking direction and purpose and generally not satisfied with life. Something had to change, I wanted to feel better, to enjoy life and to make the best use of the time I now have. I had heard of Life Coaching and with a little research found that it might just help me move on with my life and it most definitely has.

Gordon has an easy engaging manner, the sessions were well planned and we developed a way forward to achieve my best life.

Gordon develops a partnership approach to Coaching, assisting you to take ownership of the plans and activities you set. Going forward, we monitored my progress together and set new goals.

Coaching has given me motivation, contentment, purpose and direction. For me it has been life changing but like all good things, you get out what you put in, however, Gordon will guide you through the process with understanding and compassion.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain , Joe

A heartfelt thank you!

I came to Gordon feeling at a loss of what to do. I have been struggling on and off with anxiety for 3 years. Having seen 7 different therapists (including CBT, NLP and Hypotherapy specialists) and I’ve made limited progress. Gordon has been like a breath of fresh air and has helped me to work out the answers I’ve been looking for. He has been by far the most empowering professional I have worked with, and I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel after 4 session with Gordon. I am going to be booking more sessions with Gordon to keep making breakthroughs, not to mention how much I enjoy the intellectual and enlightening conversations that we have! Gordon has an incredibly caring and gentle manner. When I started working with Gordon I was in a total fear bubble, had lost sight of myself and my values. I am now in a place where I can see a future again and am excited to get up in the morning. I have never understood myself as much as I do today - Gordon’s effective questioning, careful listening and thoughtful suggestions for action have played a huge part in this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Gordon, you have given me my life back.

Can't speak highly enough of Gordon. Our conversations have been tremendously helpful in multiple areas of my life. He is very personable and easy to talk to. He has given me lots of valuable insights and advice to improve both my work-life, home-life and relationships. I have recommended him to multiple friends and colleagues as I believe coaching can be extremely valuable to anyone who wants to change their lives for the better.
Give it a try! What's the worst that can happen?

Gordon has been amazing, he provided me with a free initial consultation with no pressure to book any further sessions. He was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and came across as very genuine.
Our initial meeting was relaxed and informative. I subsequently received follow up advice and resources, which have proven extremely useful.
I know that we will work together in the future.
I can definitely recommend The Happiness Guy

When I first got in touch with Gordon I was feeling overwhelmed. I had recently gone through some major issues including my partner's Parkinsons diagnosis, buying and selling a house and moving to Glasgow and having a hip replacement. I was adamant that I was not depressed and didn't require medication but knew I wasn't coping with all the changes in my life.
Gordon was quick to reply to my enquiry and we arranged for a face to face meet shortly afterwards. Gordon was friendly and welcoming and his therapy space felt bright airy and safe. I found him easy to talk to regarding my situation and the problems I was experiencing. Gordon is a very good listener who picks out the salient points of what you're trying to express and then works on giving you the tools to try and make adjustments/improvements in your life.
We set up meetings roughly every two weeks and I always came away feeling that we"d chipped away at another concern or problem. The sessions have included tears (mine!) but also humour which was something that I had lost along the way.
Gordon also takes a practical approach and is excellent in keeping in touch between sessions - sending links to podcasts etc which he feels may be relevant to the issues we have been discussing.
I definitely feel the benefit of the sessions and, although life continues to throw up problems, I can deal with them so much better and without feeling like I am the victim of external forces. Close friends who know what I've been going through have commented on my improved demeanor and
I intend to continue with further sessions.
In summary, Gordon shows compassion and understanding combined with professionalism and practical encouragement.
I would highly recommend his services.

Gordon was highly recommended to me by my siblings who have also had the pleasure of working with him.
I was in a place in my life where I was struggling to find myself, make time for myself and was in battle with my own body and mind after recently battling with cancer.
Gordon is very easy to talk to, funny and your best cheerleader just when it's needed the most. He is so extremely knowledgeable and understanding. His way of teaching brings constant 'light bulb moments' with the validation that I longed for.
Gordon made me realise how to prioritise time for myself so that I can find ME again. He helped me adjust my work-life balance so that I can spend time with my family again. He made me realise that I wasn't broken and that I was still the fun-loving, unique individual that I've always been.

Everyone needs The Happiness Guy in their life.

Working with Gordon has been an incredible experience. He has a remarkable ability to ask the right questions helping me to uncover self limiting beliefs and reframe my mindset.
Instead of generic advice Gordon helped me identify specific patterns in my life that were holding me back and provided me with the tools and strategies to overcome them.
I have not just found happiness I have learnt to create it for myself so have no hesitation in wholly recommending Gordon.

I have had a very positive experience with Gordon. He is an expert at threading the needle of pushing you toward self-improvement while not being judgmental. A lot of life coach types seem to think that brutal honesty and tearing people down to shock them into change is the best approach, which is why I used to be dismissive of this line of work. But Gordon showed me that there is another way. Always compassionate, he unearthed my deepest problems and doubts and led me on a path forward. He has reframed the way I think about myself and my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend him.
