Good person to work with, was attentive and understanding yet wasn't afraid to tell you when he disagreed with your logic, when needed. He has helped improved my mental wellness and ability to cope with stressful situations along with talking me through some other issues i was struggling with like budgetting, eating better and organisational skills. I look forwards to continuing working with him in future. Definitely recommend More...

Thanks Jacob. Being candid is a two way street and very needed in any coaching relationship.

I’m so thankful to have found Jai on bark, he was very professional but friendly and welcoming at the same time. I felt comfortable sharing all of my problems with him and is a very good listener, he helped me get out of a difficult situation and pointed me in the right direction and what I needed to do. Jai has helped me realise my own worth and helped me have a whole different thinking process. Couldn’t be more thankful. More...

Jai has taught me different techniques and coping mechanisms to deal with difficult situations. Since I started with Jai 5 weeks ago, I am in a completely different frame of mind and feel very positive. Jai really listens to my problems and gives brilliant advice.

I highly recommend! Thank you Jai. More...

Thanks Georgia it takes a lot of hard work and honesty to succeed with mentoring. It's good to see you getting stronger.

jai has been absolutely wonderful to me. Meeting up in a pub but very private. Never felt that someone would listen to me or what I would say. Also I enjoyed the fact that I was able to have a deep meaningful conversation in a less formal way by enjoying the comfort of a hot drink. I felt I was being understood and listened. I am now a much happier person and i feel things are getting better in my life.
Thank you Jai More...

Thanks Eleni glad things are getting better for you now.

Jai was relaxed, intelligent and easy to talk to. He was extremely helpful in providing me with coping strategies and confidence building for my situation. Would highly recommend.

Thanks George, you had a very difficult situation to deal with glad we could both navigate it together.

Excellent service. Very friendly, has your best interests at heart and keeps in touch around your sessions along with a leniency to prolong sessions if necessary, alongside good practical advice and an ability to resonate with me helping the sessions flow more freely

Thanks Ben, God bless you. Appreciate your kind words.

Jai has helped me and my husband through a very difficult time. He has enabled me to see the positives in our relationship and through hard work and becoming more open, Jai has opened up a way forward that I didn't feel was possible before. Thank you.

As a married couple we have been working with Jai for a and can honestly say it is a blessing to have come across him. Initially, one of us was especially sceptical about using a counsellor to guide us through some of the issues we faces in our marriage and communicating with each other, however from our first conversation with Jai both of us were immediately at ease.

Speaking to Jai is literally like talking to a concerned and friend. He is a great listener, always impartial and great at being firm with us when needed, especially in times when one of us has an issue with taking responsibility when we should.

Jai is helping us identify the root causes of the problems in our marriage and has been great at guiding us towards workable solutions. He has a knack for always seeming to understand both points of view, while still being able to recognise where responsibility lies and what can be improved between us as a couple to avoid future conflict. He even has the ability to make us laugh at times when we have literally wanted to throttle one another.

We can see that Jai has a genuine interest in helping people. For example, there was a time when we came to the end of a session and one of us was still heated and Jai continued the session to help us reach a better place before leaving him. He even takes time to reach out to us outside of sessions to see how we are doing.

One of the things that makes Jai great at what he does is his wealth of knowledge and experience.

If you want a relationship or individual counsellor who genuinely cares about the people he works with and is invested in helping people improve their lives, then I recommend Jai without hesitation – we never feel like we are talking to a counsellor, more like a mentor and friend.

Thank you, Jai, for all the work you have done with us to date. More...

Hi Jai,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for all your help and advice, I feel so so much better than I did back in February! I can't believe I recently confronted a parent - something I never thought I would do! I found role playing situations really helpful, and that is something I've carried on to do.
I was struggling to sleep before I came to you due to anxiety and its been incredible to sleep soundly at night!

The videos and books you've recommended to me have also been amazing, it's strangely comforting to know its not just me going through these situations! I have continued to use these resources and I know they'll help me in the future.

I came to you for help with toxic parents, but you helped me with a range of other things, such as understanding the process of purchasing a house and helping with excessive drinking, so a huge thank you for that too!

Even my friends have noticed a difference in me - I'm more relaxed and positive now. You really helped me to put things into perspective, for example looking at a situation from another point of view, and this has really shaped how I interact and think about situations. I will continue to protect my inner child, I found this technique very powerful.

Very grateful for the recordings too, as you know I loved the meditation so glad I can still use those videos going forward.

I would definitely consider coming to you in the future, and would highly recommend you! More...

God bless you Rose. I'm so pleased you are continuing with the inner child work, it was a pleasure supporting you with what are some very difficult family issues. Jai

I have only been with Jai for 3 weeks now but he is already starting to make positive changes on my thought processes and to understand things which I didn’t understand before, he takes a very friendly approach which makes me feel comfortable in the sessions and feel like I can open up more, I would 100% recommended him.. really pleased!

Thanks for your kind words Brittany and your willingness to put the work in outside the sessions and take on sometimes uncomfortable realisations. It's always a two-way process.

My husband and I utilise Jai's expertise
skills as a counsellor and it was really a positive experience . We were happy with the sessions received and the interactions ! I would definitely recommend Jai and use his services again.He did an excellent job! More...

Thanks Matt, wishing you all the best for the future my friend. Jai

Jai has helped me in so many different aspects - not just in what I initially went to him for, but with so many other situations too. He really listens and gives great advice. We sometimes role play an upcoming situation I'm anxious about which really prepares me and takes the anxiety away. I'm looking forward to having more sessions, I could feel a difference after our first session, and even my friends noticed a difference in me and said I'm a lot more relaxed! Thank you, Jai!

Thanks Roisin it's been a pleasure working with you and I appreciate your openness to see the hard truths we often avoid. Jai

Sessions with him are very fun. I have learned so much about myself. Its great because, although we are different. We have similarities which makes it easier to share. He is a great listener and I think that’s very important. I have just started those sessions but I feel much better already. Its like having a friend who cares a lot about you. More...

It's important to have a laugh sometimes Rati as we often talk about very deep issues! I'm so glad that resonated with you. Thank you. Jai

Recently started seeing Jai with my wife to start working through some issues we have.
He's been super helpful just getting us to start talking to each other again in a meaningful way.
He is really friendly, has a good sense of humour and just puts us at ease like we're talking with an old friend, while still being impartial. Yeah, generally he's just been really helpful! More...

Working with Jai Singh has been really good and positive, he has put us at ease from the start when we both were nervous and wasn’t sure what to expect. Jai gets us to be completely open and honest with each other and also to see where the other person is coming from. More...

If you are reading Jai’s profile and reading his reviews, apprehensive about whether or not to take the dive; my advice would be to 100% do it.

Jai has been mentoring me for close to 2 months now, and in just that short span of time - my life, my whole approach to life and the way I see life has started to shift. Jai does not promise ‘quick fixes’; instead he takes the time to listen to you so that realistic and actionable goals can be established.

I want to take a brief paragraph to really express that Jai does listen to you. He doesn’t put on the illusion of listening, he genuinely takes the time to understand your issues and thoughts. He remembers something you briefly mentioned weeks ago, and brings it up in connection with something you are talking about in the current session. He discusses topics with you at a deep meaningful level, not just to a surface level.

The approach Jai takes to mentoring is one of realism. He does not expect unrealistic results. He emphasizes the importance of small, incremental changes to achieve something greater. All too often in life, we are told stories of someone going from zero to hero seemingly overnight; this puts an unrealistic version of reality in our minds. Jai helps with becoming someone who takes action, not just someone who observes other people taking action.

Just this past session, I have already begun to take much greater responsibility when it comes to my finances. I have slashed my monthly debt repayments in half; all within an hour session. Now, I am not saying that Jai will be able to do this for you no problem - as every persons issues are nuanced. However, I am just giving it as an example of how powerful having someone like Jai in your life can be.

My one piece of advice, however, is that you have to be prepared to put the work in. Jai can only do so much, he can guide you, show you resources and help plan. However, you have to be the one to execute, and to keep executing over and over again. If you can dedicate the time, then there is no telling how much someone like Jai can help.

That may sound daunting, but with the help of Jai - it really isn’t!

If you are looking for a mentor who will truly listen to you. A mentor who will truly understand where you are coming from, and where you want to go. Jai is 100% your man More...

Thanks for your kind words Callum. I am by no means perfect but try to pass my experience and mistakes on where I can. It also takes two to tango as they say and you have been very open to my advice and implemented practical changes well in your own life. All the best. Jai

Not many people, including family members and mates have the care and patience that Jai has for me in my life. He’s encouraged me to slow down and begin to look inward. To be truthful with myself and not to be scared of judgement from peers which has been a big fear of mine from childhood. Jai’s helped me value myself, to put my best foot forward and continue to increase my potential daily. Thank you Jai. More...

Thanks Jack it's been a pleasure to get to know you and work with you over the last few years. I am continually being mentored and counselled myself so I have a duty to pass that onto others.

I had the pleasure to meet and work with Jai. He is professional, friendly, patient, caring, and passionate about coaching. I highly recommend investing in the coaching program with Jai. He will listen and coach you so that you accomplish your personal and professional goals you set to achieve. More...

Thanks Erika! All the best to you and your son.

I dreamed of having a mentor for a long time. I saw a mentor as someone in my career field who would be like a guardian, giving advice and support as I developed my career. I had mental health struggles during my studies and was lucky enough to get one year of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which involved a combination of group therapy and one to one sessions with a psychiatrist. After the course finished I was much improved but the skills I learnt quickly dissipated and I found a new slightly better normal.

Years later I finally qualified as an Architect. The stress of studying was removed, but facing the reality of being an architect, I felt lost. I struggled to find meaning in what I spent 14 years striving for. I struggled to live a life that didn’t match up to expectations I barely knew I had. My sister introduced me to a book by Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Although meaningful, I struggled to commit to working through it. That’s when I joined the Lighthouse International 7 Habits reading group and soon got mentoring with Jai.

My experience of mentoring over the last year has been eye, heart and mind opening. It’s been incredible to experience developing an open, caring, stable relationship with someone. To feel supported but know that this person will see through my lies. To again and again have the person show care when others in my past (parents, teachers, leaders) would have scolded.

Being mentored has been like having an older and wiser brother guide me by supporting me in choosing my path and helping me pause and see for myself when I am going wrong. The process has been a combination of working on my life vision (relationships, career, service etc) and digging into how I see myself and the roots of my self limiting beliefs.

Over the past year, the level of direction has become less but the support has grown where I need it most, for example having accountability check-ins to help me get the things I want to do done. The way Jai (my mentor) and I have worked together has been organic and driven by what I want to focus on and related areas.

Being mentored by Jai has been more powerful because of having The 7 Habits as the foundation. The 7 Habits are based on natural laws, unchangeable principles that are the framework of nature and life processes. Having a mentor who is working and growing based on the same principles I’m striving for, is like having an agreement in the way we work together.

Every day I’m learning that being truly open and honest with yourself, then sharing honestly with your mentor is the key to continued growth. This is also the most challenging part of mentorship. There have been areas I have struggled to examine alone, let alone share, discuss and be open to external input. Doing this again and again has helped me know myself better and value myself more.

How has mentoring changed my life? I have been empowered to make changes externally. I have learnt to stand up for myself, fighting and over-turning parking tickets, requesting and getting pay rises (even during lockdown when staff were furloughed), standing up to my family and setting boundaries in personal relationships. The biggest change has been internal. It's amazing how your world view changes when you start clearing the emotional gunk from your mind, heart and spirit. Before mentorship, when I caught a glimpse of my potential I felt small and overwhelmed. Now I feel excited and can see practical steps to achieving my dream of serving communities in rural Africa through architecture. More...
