Also bear in mind that personal testimony or endorsements for mentoring services are always suspect in any counseling program.
The relationship between coach and client creates inherent bias in testimonial reporting. Clients may feel obligated to provide positive feedback to maintain good relationships with their coaches or to justify their participation in the program.
Personal testimonials, while meaningful to individuals, cannot substitute for scientific evidence of effectiveness."
There is no question that collaboration with an experienced mentor may be useful.
But there is nothing "scientific" or certain about their insights or systems.

And focusing on your comfort, safety, and own judgment and autonomy.
