Having worked with and been friends with clinical psychologists (my brother is one as well) and having worked as a psychotherapist and counsellor myself, I've known a lot of people who are qualified clinical psychologists who, in my opinion, shouldn't be allowed anywhere near people with mental health issues. An enthusiastic, sympathetic, mentally and emotionally well adjusted coach will trump a half assed, bored, cynical psychologist, whos pissed off with world, every day of the week. I've found through experience that on-paper qualifications means nothing when working in mental health and personal development. You, Alex, are walking proof of this. The advice you give on your channel is more valuable than most of the crap spewed from the mouths of qualified mental heath care workers. It's not like being an accountant (which I'm also qualified as), where you can just learn a new skill set from a text book. You've either personally got what it takes, or you don't.
