The Coaches

Era's got a BSc in Psychology, and an MSc in Addiction, from King's College London. Lizzy's got a master's in psychology and a certificate in psychotherapy. Both have done ~160 hours of addiction coaching training, passed their final assessment, and are now ready to see real clients. So far, we've had unanimously positive feedback and ~70% retention from the 100+ clients our coaches have seen so far.

Resolute proved successful so we've doubled down. 

* more coaches
* dramatically increased training
* more specialists

This is an advert for two such specialists.

Our coaching isn't designed for effective altruists specifically. Rethink Wellbeing is much better positioned than us to offer this type of thing long-term. That being said, I'll keep donating it to EAs so long as we have spare capacity.

Did your experience with behavior change work influence your decision to start focusing particularly on behavioral addiction support? If so, how?
