The Happy Human Project Reviews

Before I first met with Nick, I was so lost and confused with myself (and in the closet). I was always so negative towards myself with my thoughts and my actions, and ultimately didn’t really like myself. I always would dream that things would just someday be better but never actually acted on it. Then I saw an ad for the Happy Human Project on Instagram and figured I might as well do the free consultation and see if I liked Nick and the program itself. And right away, Nick was so outgoing and convivial and we made a plan of what going forward with the program would look like, and I jumped right in. Working with Nick was so easy. He always had a clear plan and structure and we would always co-create my weekly goals together; sometimes he’d throw in a wild one though, but always in good faith. And most importantly, he held me accountable through the whole process, because although my motivation might’ve ebbed and flowed, he’d always be there to get me right back on track. After working with Nick, I can confidently say that I know who I am and most importantly, I like who I am. And deciding to work with Nick might just be one of the best decisions I have ever made. I truly cannot recommend him enough.

I can’t recommend Happy Human Project (and Nick!) enough. Moving to a new country while figuring out your identity as a gay man is… a lot. I was stuck in this mindset of needing to be perfect before I could really enjoy life — which, spoiler alert, is exhausting and not very fun. Working 1:1 with Nick over a few months completely shifted that for me. He creates such a safe space to talk about everything — the past, the messy stuff, the things you don’t always say out loud — and helps you actually work through it instead of just sitting in it. What I loved most is how he helps you reframe your thinking. Instead of spiralling on what’s “wrong,” you start recognising what’s already good. It sounds simple, but it’s powerful. Nick is one of the kindest, most supportive people you’ll meet, but he also keeps you accountable and pushes you when needed. He’s there through the highs and lows, which makes it feel like a real journey, not just a few sessions. If you’re a gay man dealing with identity, relationships, or just feeling stuck — this is 100% worth it. Think: less overthinking, more living your best life.

I worked with Nick for a while and he really impacted my life. He helped me understand how important my perspective on life changes how I experience it. Understanding how expectations can impact how I think and respond to situations has so changed my b life. I highly recommend you engaging with Nick and see how he can help you on your journey to be a happier human.

Nick is one of those people who just makes you feel comfortable straight away, like you’ve known him for ages but without any of the awkward small talk. He’s super easy to chat to, really down to earth, and there’s zero judgement. You can just be yourself without feeling like you’re being analysed or trying to say the “right” thing. He’s also very real and honest, but in a way that doesn’t feel harsh. More like a mate who tells it straight but still has your back. And he’s got a good sense of humour, which makes even the deeper chats feel lighter. What stood out was how approachable he is. There’s no hierarchy, no act, just a relatable guy who genuinely cares. Overall, just a solid human. Easy to talk to, real, and someone you actually feel relaxed around.

Before working with Nick, I felt like a shell of myself. I was struggling with imposter syndrome and experiencing a real disconnect between my identity, my values, and the way I was showing up in my life. I knew I wasn’t fully aligned, but I didn’t have the clarity or tools to change it. Working with Nick helped me rebuild my relationship with myself in a practical and sustainable way. We focused on setting healthy boundaries, developing better habits, and creating routines that genuinely supported my wellbeing. More importantly, he helped me unpack the internal narratives that were holding me back. Nick creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and completely judgement-free. He has a rare ability to balance empathy with accountability — offering encouragement while also challenging you to step up and do the work. I always felt heard, understood, and supported, but never allowed to stay stuck. As a result of our work together, I feel more comfortable in my own skin and significantly more confident in my everyday life. My relationship with myself has improved, and that positive shift has flowed into my relationships with others. I feel more aligned, grounded, and genuinely happy. If you’re feeling stuck or disconnected and want meaningful change, I highly recommend working with Nick. It was one of the best investments I’ve made in myself.

Easy to form a trusting relationship with and be yourself around. Nick helped me realise how I was thinking wasn’t unique to me and how to start retraining my thoughts. Thanks!

I found Nick from The Happy Human Project on Instagram in the summer of 2025, and from the very first videos I watched, I felt seen. The way he spoke about how gay men feel and the struggles many of us face deeply resonated with me. Watching his content made me want to reach out, open up, and share what my challenges were, hoping he could help me grow. And that is exactly what he did. Nick supported me through real challenges with clarity and practical guidance. What stood out most was his ability to break down overwhelming issues into small, manageable steps. Instead of feeling stuck or defeated, I began building confidence by taking consistent, actionable steps forward. He did not just offer encouragement, he provided a plan that created real, tangible change. While some of my challenges initially felt big and unchangeable, by the end of our sessions I could genuinely see and feel the growth. I am more confident and Nick helped me build healthier habits. If you are considering working with Nick, I can wholeheartedly say that he creates a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to become a better version of yourself.

Before working with Nick, I felt completely stuck. I genuinely didn’t believe I was capable of real change. I held myself to impossible standards, thinking I had to be perfect in order to be liked. I constantly judged myself, assumed I knew what others were thinking about me (usually something negative), and took everything personally. Working with Nick changed that in ways I didn’t expect. He consistently encouraged me to take on small challenges, the kinds of things I would normally avoid. Each time I followed through, it added to a growing mental roster of moments that proved I’m someone who can stretch, take risks, and grow. Instead of seeing myself as stuck, I began to see concrete evidence that I’m capable of change. Nick helped me develop practical tools to quiet the voice that demands perfection, question the assumptions I make about what others think, and consciously rewrite the narratives I create in my head. Most importantly, I’m showing up more authentically in my relationships. I now have a clear North Star for how I want to live, and I’m building confidence aligned with that vision instead of chasing approval. If you feel stuck, overly self-critical, or unsure you’re capable of change, I can say from experience that Nick can help you experience real growth. Not only does he offer insight, he helps you take action. He’ll help you jumpstart your life, build momentum, and create clarity and confidence. Thanks Nick!

Working with Nick really pushed me in the right way, helping me challenge some of the thoughts and behaviors that kept me feeling stuck. I feel more encouraged to be myself without apology or explanation. Nick is wise, funny, and kind. I highly recommend giving it a try.

After moving to a new city, there were a lot of changes happening at once. And I was feeling quite overwhelmed. A generous friend gifted me Nick’s 3-month coaching program, and wow— it was unlike anything I’ve ever done (in the best way). I got so much value out of it. I learned practical, real-life tools to tackle everyday challenges. Every session Nick came prepared with a new exercise. For me, a lot of the work ended up being about discovering what really motivates me. Little by little, I actually achieved some major goals I had been putting off. Honestly, the most unexpected thing was how much FUN the sessions would be, every week I looked forward to them. Nick is just so good at what he does, he’s relatable and supportive and overall a fun person to work with. I really can’t recommend his coaching enough. ​

I first came across Nick when I was feeling super flat and my husband shared an Instagram Reel that resonated with me. I took a leap of faith and signed up for the Breakthrough Program, despite being based in Melbourne so the sessions would be on Zoom. I ended up working with Nick for most of the year, and now when I look back on it, I see it as one of the most defining decisions of my life. I find it hard to put into words the shift the coaching has had on how I see myself, think, and now lead my life. It's been a year of truly exploring who I am and sharing the "mess" I had learned to keep hidden from others all these years. Through a combination of Nick's gentle nudging, lack of judgment, and helpful tools, he held me accountable every step of the way to becoming my fully authentic gay self. As a result, being a Happy Homo is now my default. The experience has had a profound impact in all kinds of unexpected ways, from deepening my relationships and learning to embrace a redundancy, to being genuinely proud of how much I've grown and exploring my own coaching journey. It's the most incredible gift to have my hard work on myself multiplied 1000x by Nicks coaching. Thank you Nick, my life won't ever be the same 💛

Working with Nick has honestly been such a positive shift for me. I wanted something that actually complemented therapy, something action-focused, future-focused, and not heavy, and that’s exactly what I got and am continuing to get. He holds me accountable in a way that feels real but never intense, and he’s genuinely so easy to talk to. Since we started, I’m way clearer in my thinking. I’m in a much better headspace to explore romantic relationships, I’m calmer with the challenges of running a business, and I’ve become really aware of the pressure I naturally put on myself (especially in the way I talk about things and the language I use). We've encouraged myself to try new things and experiences, push myself out of comfort zones and just be more present in life and take action. One of the biggest wins has been realising there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a little more selfish in life… and I actually love that for me. Nick is warm, friendly, and very no-bullshit. If you want someone who will sugar-coat things or let you slide, he’s not your guy. But if you want real change in how you think, feel, and show up in your life, then honestly — go for it!

I came across Nick's content on Instagram and immediately felt seen. His reels about the challenges gay men face, especially around performing rather than just being, really hit different. After a big breakup, I thought I'd healed. Traveled the world, transformed my body, worked on myself externally. But I kept falling into the same patterns like people-pleasing, saying yes when I meant no, staying in situations that didn't serve me just to avoid disappointing others. Nick gave me actual tools I could use in real situations, not just theory. But the thing is, I had to do the work! Learning to notice and reframe my limiting beliefs, naming my feelings, sitting with discomfort instead of acting on it, choosing what genuinely serves me. It's hard work, but the kind that's worth it. Nick taught me to be gentle with myself while still pushing forward. Once I started pushing myself, I started noticing the difference. I took my shirt off at the beach for the first time in years. I even published a story on Instagram showing half my body, something I've never done before! I ended a relationship that wasn't right and held my boundary when guilt tried to pull me back. I'm starting to understand what self-love actually feels like, and honestly, I finally get what feeling at peace is like. I know improving my day-to-day is ongoing work. But I feel like I can do it because I've proved to myself what I'm capable of. Future me is going to be even better because I finally have the tools to keep choosing myself. If you've done the work externally but are still stuck in old patterns, work with Nick. He gets it because he's lived it. He's vulnerable about his own experiences, which creates an incredibly safe space. Plus he actually cares. You're not just a number! I'm so grateful to Nick. The work he does matters and it's 100% worth it 💚

I stumbled across Nick and immediately felt a connection to his message, and knew that working with him was the right path for me. I was at a crossroads in life, full of questions and emotional noise. The journey has been both deep and light at the same time. Nick helped simplify what I had been overcomplicating, supported me in turning down the noise, and guided me to see myself in a far more loving way. Along the way, we’ve laughed, learned, and held real respect for the process. Nick is the real deal, a wonderfully happy human (coach) paving the way and inviting us all to come along. I’m so glad I did.
