And future and former customers sang a similar tune
The company has a rating of 2.4 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
One person said: “This was not a good experience… the sales pitch is aggressive and certainly borders on predatory. I almost promised a package but got cold feet when it felt like I was talking to someone selling me an internet package and no coaching on the field of mental health care.
“I’m glad I withdrew because I read reviews from former employees and they didn’t look good and also highlighted the poor wage pressure to sell and fire and that they pay Prince Harry over a million dollars a year and he seems like a mess so I can’t imagine what that money is for. It could be better used for the staff or reduce the price.

“I think you always have to be careful with services that are so heavily advertised on social media.”
Another reviewer added: “My coach was average, but unfortunately the materials/assignments did not make any progress for me personally.
“But the biggest problems were the 30-minute sessions and the subscription model.
“Short sessions: Too short to get to the heart of a problem, and there is no advance preparation. You have to pay more for more time. Lost sessions: If you don’t use session credits within 30 days, you lose them. I have paid $160 and got nothing – no coaching, refund or rescheduling option.
