Testimonials
I work with people across a broad spectrum, from frontline practitioners, to founders guiding small teams or early-stage organisations, to those navigating change within larger systems or organisations. No two journeys are the same, and that’s exactly the point. Coaching and mentoring with me is shaped by who you are, your current challenges, and where you want to go.
Below are a few words from people I’ve had the privilege of working with.
"Working with Jonny has been one of the most supportive and transformative experiences in my professional growth. He brings a rare mix of kindness, calm presence, and clear insight that makes every session feel like a safe space. He has a real gift for helping you find your own answers. Never pushing, or judging, but always guiding with the right questions and practical exercises that keep you moving forward.
Beyond coaching, he’s also been a generous and insightful mentor, offering guidance on everything from team management to mental health. He constantly reminds you that taking care of yourself is essential if you want to show up fully in your work and for others.
What stands out most is how easy he is to work with. He’s genuinely present, always listens, and never makes you feel rushed or pressured. I honestly don’t know where I, or my work, would be without his support. I can’t recommend him highly enough!"
Evelina Eskenazi,
Founder and Executive Director, Saffron Kitchen Project
"When I first stepped into the Project Manager role, Jonny played a quiet but important role in helping me trust myself. His calm presence, thoughtful problem-solving, and ability to listen deeply, without rushing to conclusions, created the space for me to grow. That early support helped shape the confidence I have in my leadership today.
What stood out most was how he never imposed solutions, but instead asked the right questions - ones that helped me uncover my own way forward. He had this steady belief in me, even at moments when I wasn’t sure I belonged in the role. Looking back, I can see how his coaching and mentorship didn’t just support me through a transition; it laid the foundation for how I now lead others - with curiosity, clarity, and trust".
Mustafa Mohammad,
CEO and Director, Velos Youth
"Working with Jonny has been a truly a wonderful experience. He brings a calm, steady presence that immediately puts you at ease. There’s no ego, no intimidation, just a genuine desire to support and understand you. Jonny has a great ability to listen deeply, guide thoughtfully, and create a safe space where trust can naturally grow.
His approach encourages reflection, growth, and confidence, without ever making you feel pressured.
With Jonny, coaching doesn’t feel transactional or burdensome, it feels like a meaningful partnership. Jonny combines strategic insight with genuine care. He asks the hard questions that push you to think beyond the obvious, while always grounding the conversation in your vision, values, and impact. For me personally, he has been a mirror, a guide, and a trusted partner in navigating both organisational challenges
and personal leadership growth”
