The Happiness Guy

I worked with Gordon for 18 months. Gordon is a kind and patient man but firm enough to get to the point. He was able to encourage me to say out loud the issues I had been unsuccessfully ignoring and address them within my own values. Gordon worked flexibly to organise sessions around my schedule (as an NHS worker this can be unpredictable) when needed and was instinctive enough to know when I needed to walk rather than sit for a session. Gordon supported me to be honest with myself and offered an objective perspective which has allowed me to be kinder to myself and move forward proactively with the things that really matter Thanks G!

I’d highly recommend Gordon, when I first spoke to him I had no idea what to expect I just knew I didn’t feel like myself and needed I do something. Now I’m so glad I did, only wish I had done it earlier. One of the things I have found the most helpful has been how he explains the science behind how and why I had been feeling so off and then put in place a plan to get me back to feeling like me again. He has supported me and encouraged me to work on myself especially when there are external elements I have little influence over. He is really easy to talk to and I have enjoyed working with him.

I initially made contact with Gordon after a really low point in my life, quite possibly the lowest I've felt, brought on by a number of factors. I was feeling completely stuck and in a rut and unable to move on with my life. Gordon really helped me understand not only the science behind the issues I had, but helped me reset myself, so I could find a way out of the maze I was in, and start to make solid decisions to help me out. He's a genuine, top guy who doesn't judge, always enjoy chatting to him! More...

Gordon has been working with our charity and helped significantly in the delivery of a wellbeing weekend for patients who suffer from a chronic illness. He spoke to them about how to approach life differently, refocussing goals and intentions and facing their illness head on, taking small achievable steps. Patients also found his scientific explanation of the brain’s response to negativity fascinating. His talk was so well received from a such a diverse group of people and his delivery was eloquent, humorous and relatable. We now hope to work with Gordon to develop a programme for wellness for future events. We would highly recommend Gordon as a lifestyle coach. More...

Gordon is very easy to talk to and was able to guide me to reasses my values in order for me to have a happier life. During the sessions he asked probing questions to help me to understand the reasons behind my values. This was challenging for me but the end result was worth it. The tasks he set after each session were designed to help me to think deeply on why I felt the value would be important to have in my life. I would highly recommed Gordon, as I came away from each session feeling happy and confident. Thank you. More...

Gordon was recommended to me by a friend, who thought I would benefit from talking to him and neither of us could have guessed just how right they would become. I was suffering from bouts of anxiety and was unsure about my direction in life. From working with Gordon, I have learned so much about the fundamentals of happiness and ensure these are in place to help me overcome anxious / uncertain situations. I’m much more confident that whatever life throws at me I will handle it in a calm and positive manner. Being less stressed and having a much more positive outlook on life is a far better way to live than the alternative. If this sounds like something you need then Gordon is the coach for you! More...

The set of sessions with Gordon have been incredibly helpful to my process. I work in the field of psychotherapy and have already done a lot of personal development work in various disciplines, but wanted to get fresh eyes and reflect alongside another professional on where I've been, where I'm at and where I want to go. Gordon was able to support my established practices and things that work well for me, whilst bringing a useful outside perspective, different ways to frame things, and new ideas to further enrich my understanding of myself/experiences and develop my process.We worked together to find the best way to extract aspects to focus on, and Gordon was perfectly willing and able to stick with it even if things got lumpy or bumpy (as is the nature of personal development). For me, that's key to this kind of work. So you can take the reflection to a deeper level and feel safe enough to be genuine about what you're feeling.The sessions have enabled a kind of tightening up of clarity and method, boosted my motivation, whilst also helpfully consolidating and reaffirming work already done.I found it particularly useful to be thinking about both the psychological and physical body concurrently, and appreciate Gordon's knowledge and experience in that.He met my keenness to have things to work with in between sessions with plenty of ideas and resources.I've come away with a much clearer overall picture, clearer sense of my own guiding inner compass and also specific pinpoints to continue to work on.Gordon approaches his work with energy, passion, flexibility, interest and a brightness of effort to made me feel welcome and well regarded. Thank you very much Gordon :) More...

I first came to Gordon grossly overweight, lonely and lost in my work. I reached out to him seeking a Personal Trainer thinking that was the answer to my problems. ..18 months later Ive yet to set foot in a gym but have still lost over 20kg in weight but more importantly feel far healthier and more confident mentally compared to any other time in my life. All that progress was down to Gordon identifying from our first coffee that I needed life coaching not a gym buddy!From my very first session I found myself opening up about things I'd never expressed to anyone before, and by the end of the hour we had already identified where a small adjustment could make a huge change, it's an adjustment I still rely on to this very day!Gordon has been an incredibly supportive figure in my life. Engaging, caring and professional, together we have worked through a broad variety of things from my personal identity and values, to relationships, work, weight management and nutrition.Whilst I brought my problems looking for answers, Gordon's subtle approach made sure I discovered for myself the right answer that works for me. Even where I dont feel right but I'm not sure why, Gordon helps lift that weight off your shoulders.There is no greater testament to Gordon's work than other friends noticing the physical and emotional change in me and asking to meet him too.If you've found this review then I can do nothing else but encourage you to at least give him a call and see where it might lead...

Went to see Gordon for guidance on goals through an upcoming big life change and got so much more. Gordon provides a welcoming inspiring space to talk and think and do invaluable work on values and habits and goals. Giving myself that hour, under Gordon's guidance has been transformative and positively filtered into all aspects of my life. The homework made me think about my life and what's truly important which has helped me and my family immensely.

Gordon came to our school to work with our S4 pupils in the build up to our S4 SQA examinations.

I visited The Happiness Guy at a time in my life where I was at a crossroads and feeling very low having suffered some health issues which impacted on my career, financial future and security. My self esteem was very fragile and I was quite lost and feeling vulnerable, angry and quite down.I have had some experience of coaching in the past and did a google search where I found Gordon, and I’m really happy that I did. Whilst I still have ongoing health concerns and my life is far from perfect, Gordon helped me understand so much about myself and helped me to move forward.I am so grateful to Gordon, and can’t recommend him enough, so if my comments resonate with you at all then I encourage you to get in touch with Gordon.

Had a truly excellent experience with Gordon. My life has been floating somewhat off track and I felt I needed some third party motivation, support and input. From the word go Gordon was very comfortable to work with and made my thoughts and feelings feel validated. We spoke through a number of things during the session and broke down a lot of goals and ambitions into manageable steps. We also talked a little about the human condition and the brain, about chemical releases and how we can achieve happiness in a number of different ways. He has since kept in touch with me from time to time through text and is just a very humble and genuine guy. Thanks again Gordon, you’ve helped me get off to a good start this year tremendously.

If you are looking for someone who will help with nutrition, training programs or 'sorting out your head'. this guy is the best. Before I started back with Gordon last year, we had worked together a few times, I thought he was excellent at pushing the right buttons and ignoring the grumpy swearing, having worked with some other PT's, I would always have considered him by far the best. I was working with Gordon to help with my movement and flexibility, I have a few joint issues, when I had another issue diagnosed which requires surgery. As a big guy with a bigger belly, I had to change my focus from movement and flexibility to include weight-loss, this is where Gordon excels. We, it is always we, I didn't do this on my own, have changed our sessions to suit, sometimes just spending the time setting or re-focusing on the goals, sitting talking if needed. We had no fixed target, my choice, but we have managed to shift over 2 1/2 stone, about 6 inches from my waist, lost a couple of chins so far. I am 2 weeks away from a minor operation which I was dreading a few months ago, but am quite relaxed about now. I know I have the best surgeon in Glasgow when I get to the table, I also know I had the best person in Gordon to help me to get there in a better shape mentally and physically. I have no intention of stopping, but will continue to work with Gordon into the future as I have proved time and again that I need help. He gets into your head without you realising and probably learned more about me than most people and uses this to tweak and refine our sessions. He is a very clever, but engaging guy, and I am always happy to endorse him as a friend not just a trainer. His energy and enthusiasm is infectious and a session after a bad day at work can regularly changes the rest of the day. Man, woman, young or old, he will help you achieve your goals. More...

I’ve been working with Gordon McCrorie for over a year. He has been there guiding, nurturing, and inspiring me at some of the most challenging times in my personal and professional life. With Gordon’s gentle persistent coaching, I’ve become a much happier and more productive human being. I’ve learned a lot about myself and I’ve tackled some huge personal and professional circumstances that I do not believe I would have successfully overcome without my own personal guide to Happiness. Gordon is very professional, but he is infinitely approachable. He is intelligent, kind and informed. He never judges, but he’s also not afraid to ask the tough questions - even when you don’t want to hear them. I’m a coach too, and coaching another coach isn’t always easy, but Gordon persisted with generosity and the positivity that’s always present in his genuinely sunny demeanour. Although I originally engaged Gordon for health and fitness related coaching, he is at the heart of it, a Happiness Coach.No topic is outside of his assistance from matters of business to matters of the heart. I am a truly different person thanks to Gordon's encouragement and support. Gordon is a great guy. I cannot recommend him highly enough. More...
