I recently had the privilege of working with Jake, a remarkable therapist, and I am beyond grateful for the transformative experience I had during our sessions.
Jake's expertise, compassion, and genuine dedication to helping others are truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking personal growth and self-discovery.
From the moment I walked into our first session, I felt an instant sense of comfort and trust. His warm and welcoming demeanor created a safe space where I could openly express my thoughts, fears, and aspirations. Jake possesses an uncanny ability to actively listen, allowing him to truly understand my unique circumstances and challenges. He demonstrated remarkable empathy, providing me with unwavering support and encouragement throughout our sessions.
What truly sets Jake apart is his deep understanding of the complexities of human nature. He effortlessly guided me through a journey of self-reflection, helping me uncover deep-seated beliefs and patterns that were holding me back. Jake's insightful questions and thought-provoking exercises allowed me to gain profound insights into my own behavior and motivations, empowering me to make positive changes in my life.
Working with Jake has been a life-changing experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Trust in Jake, and prepare to embark on a transformative journey towards a more empowered and fulfilled life.

What do you love most about your job?
Being a holistic life coach is an incredibly rewarding experience. I have the privilege of witnessing the transformative changes in people's lives as they uncover their potential, overcome challenges, and experience personal growth. This journey of learning and self-discovery inspires me to provide the most impactful support to my clients.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My experience working with the NHS, overseeing mental health contracts, has been a significant inspiration for opening my private life coaching practice. It has deepened my understanding of the critical need for guidance and support for mental well-being. Witnessing the challenges faced by individuals and families, I recognised the need to provide a dedicated space for people to gain clarity, set meaningful goals, and navigate their personal journeys. This firsthand exposure to a broad spectrum of mental health services fueled my commitment to establishing a private practice. It is immensely fulfilling to extend my expertise and support to individuals seeking growth and guidance in their day-to-day lived outside the constraints of institutional settings.

Life Coaching
In my life coaching approach, clients have the flexibility to come to me with a specific goal or focus in mind, or even without a clear direction. In either case, our collaboration is aimed at achieving their objectives and gaining clarity on how to progress. Sometimes, we work together to move forward and take decisive steps, while at other times, we explore the option of taking a step back to review the reason for wanting change enabling a clearer path to emerge. This adaptable and open approach allows a more organic journey towards personal growth and fulfillment.
Holistic Life Coaching
The difference between holistic life coaching and traditional coaching lies in the broader perspective taken when working with clients. While traditional coaching often focuses on addressing specific goals or issues, holistic life coaching delves deeper into understanding the root causes behind those challenges. For instance, if a client approaches me with stress as their primary concern, instead of solely focusing on managing stress in the moment, I take a more comprehensive approach. I explore the clients past trauma or experiences to uncover the underlying triggers that contribute to their stress response. By addressing these underlying factors, we can work towards sustainable and lasting solutions for overall well-being.
Relationship Coaching
In every relationship, whether it is short or long-term, there are moments when challenges can feel overwhelming. As a coach, I offer a safe and unbiased space for clients to navigate these difficulties. My approach is to provide support and guidance, enabling individuals to identify and effectively work through the challenges they are facing. By working together in this open and non-judgmental environment, clients can gain clarity, find solutions, and strengthen their relationships.
Family Coaching
Communication breakdowns can be painful and challenging, especially within family dynamics. It is not uncommon for these situations to arise. However, with the right support, it is possible to overcome these barriers and rebuild strong foundations within the family unit. My focus is on facilitating effective communication, helping family members connect, understand each others perspectives, and find common ground. Through my guidance, families can navigate these challenges and create healthier, more harmonious relationships based on open and clear communication.
Reiki
Reiki is an alternative practice which can help support a focused, clear and calm mindset.
Spiritual Coaching
I assist clients in recognizing, discovering, or rediscovering their spiritual path.
