Transform your life with
online or in-person
Whether you’re stuck and struggling or determined to grow personally and professionally, I bring the knowledge, structure, support and accountability to help you figure things out, take action, and create real, lasting change.
Hi, I’m Gordon McCrorie — also known as The Happiness Guy. I’m a highly rated, Glasgow-based life coach working with clients across the UK and beyond.
I specialise in two main areas:
1. Helping people solve the problems that are making life harder than it needs to be — things like stress, low confidence, overwhelm, poor habits, difficult relationships, or simply feeling stuck or off-track.
2. Helping high performers — or those who want to become high performers grow, develop, and reach the next level in their mindset, career, wellbeing, or life as a whole.
You might be feeling stuck, stressed, overwhelmed — or just fed up with trying to sort it all out on your own. Maybe it’s a confidence issue, a work challenge, a relationship problem, unhelpful habits, or a general sense of feeling a bit lost or off-track.
You’ve tried to push through, but it’s exhausting. You’re ready for clarity and you know you need support — someone to help you make sense of things and find a way forward.
Coaching with me gives you the space to talk things through, gain a fresh perspective, and start making changes that actually stick. You’ll get structure, encouragement, and a plan that’s realistic — so life starts to feel more manageable, you begin to feel back in control and more like yourself again.
Maybe you’re doing “fine” but want more. Nothing’s “wrong” — but you know you’re not where you want to be. And you’re certainly not performing at your potential.
Maybe you want more growth and development, more energy, more focus, more success, more fulfilment. Or maybe you want to feel more motivated, more efficient, a better mindset, healthier habits, achieving more each day or a better work-life balance.
You’re also not after a quick fix — you’re looking for a coach who will help you grow, develop, and make meaningful progress over time. And you’re ready to keep showing up and doing the work.
Coaching with me gives you the structure, support, and accountability you need — along with a clear, manageable plan to follow. Something that fits into your life and keeps you moving forward.
Transformation happens when you work on YOU. Getting you right involves optimising 3 things:
One or all of these things is currently holding you back! I think it’s time we changed that, don’t you? That means optimising:
How you THINK – Rewiring unhelpful patterns
How you FEEL – Taking control of your emotional state
What you DO – Building the right actions and habits into your daily life
My unique approach to coaching aligns mind, body and actions to create deep, lasting change — both personally and professionally.
Most life coaches are taught to believe you already know and have everything you need to solve any challenge you face in life, if you are just asked the right questions. I don’t believe that!
I believe there are often vital “pieces of the puzzle missing” and it’s only with this additional knowledge (that I provide during our time working together), the fresh insights you gain and adding these to what you already know that will result in you creating a life you love.
Here are a few examples of what you can expect if we work together.
• Stop procrastinating and start taking purposeful, productive and effective action, thus achieving more personal and professional goals.
• Develop a positive mindset and learn to think better. Together, we will upgrade your thinking and eradicate limiting beliefs.
• Develop better habits (inc. diet, exercise, stress management and sleep)
• Achieve a much better work-life balance, resulting in you really enjoying your life.
• Become or get back to your best self and be proud of yourself in your different roles (as a partner, as a parent, as a boss or employee).
To be of the best service to you, I’ve been working on developing world-class expertise and processes to help “get you right” formally since 2005.
I graduated top of my class in 2009 with a BSc (Hons) in Exercise & Health Science, and my scientific approach to understanding and solving problems forms the foundation of the knowledge, formulas and tools I’ll bring to help you solve the challenges you face.
I’ve read hundreds of books and listened to thousands of hours of podcasts and I use all that knowledge to help you solve the “hard to solve” problems.
When you work with me you often get BOTH an expert in the subject AND a coach who will ask you great questions. It’s a very powerful combination.
Imagine 100 people have the same goal. Can you predict how many of them will achieve it purely because they share the same goal? Of course not. Goals without clearly defined processes are a lot closer to wishes than we realise.
Now imagine 100 people with the same process. Assuming they all follow the process, shouldn’t most of them achieve broadly the same thing?
I’m far more of a process guy than a goals guy, because processes (one version of which are habits) are what will produce results!
We do, however, need a clear goal from which to build the process. So, you bring the goal(s) and we’ll build the processes, which I’ll then help you take action on, one clear step at a time, which leads me very nicely to my next point.
THIS is something that REALLY sets me apart! The number of people who come to me knowing what to do, but are unable to get themself to do it for long enough to get results is huge!
KNOWING what to do is easy – DOING it PERSISTENTLY is the hard part. Persistently doing is where “the magic” happens, and helping YOU DO what you need to, to change your life forever is what I bring to the table! Let’s FOCUS on DOING, shall we?
I help you bridge the gap between knowing and doing, so that ideas turn into consistent actions turn into habits. Decisions get made, you take more action, momentum and confidence build. Your life will change when you keep taking action!
I never used to be a big fan of external accountability because I didn’t want clients to become dependent on me. It turns out I was wrong, at least partially!
I now realise that external accountability can be (and often is) the difference between success and failure, between giving up and keeping going, especially in the earlier days of implementing and sustaining changes.
So, I’ll help you stay accountable until you don’t need me to do this.
This shift in you being able to hold yourself accountable occurs when you learn to keep your word to yourself in the same way you would for someone else.
I’ll teach you how to do that and this one change will change your life, beyond recognition, forever!
I don’t do one-size-fits-all coaching.
Our work is shaped entirely around you — your life, your values, and what matters most right now. There’s structure behind what I do, but it’s flexible and always tailored to where you are and where you want to go.
From our first conversation, I’ll take the time to understand what’s really going on — so every session feels personal, relevant, and focused on helping you move forward. And yes, you’ll enjoy it from day one.
You may have noticed, I’m not young (I’ll not tell you my age just yet but feel free to guess) and like most people my age I’ve been through some tough times. I’ve suffered breakups, been obese, lost a parent, sold a struggling business to change career, had sepsis and I also have a medical condition that required significant neurosurgery in June 2024 – That wasn’t fun!
All this is to say I’ve lived, suffered and therefore to some degree I get how tough life can be at times.
Sometimes the hardest thing is feeling like you’re going through things on your own and that no one truly gets it. Maybe you don’t want to burden your partner or friends with “your stuff” as sometimes a problem shared with a loved one ISN’T actually a problem halved! As your life coach, I provide space and time for you to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment before we develop a plan and kick into action!
So, how about you stop facing your challenges on your own and instead welcome me onto “your team”? Let’s get “in the fight” together!
Coaching is an investment of your time, energy, and money, so it’s important you get an extremely experienced, knowledgeable and passionate coach with a proven track record of helping professionals just like you achieve breakthroughs, time after time.
By working with me, you’re not just getting a coach—you’re getting a trusted advisor and partner who’s completely invested in your success. I think when it comes to choosing who to hire to help you, I’m probably the safest choice you can make.
Here’s some of the organisations I’ve worked with and publications I’ve featured in:
