Thank you, Jay! After receiving a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism in my 30s, I was left feeling lost, numb, and resentful of people in my past. That was until I met Jay! Jay was my coach for two years. The whole time he was attentive, true to his word and a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the human mind and behaviour is impressively vast and diverse. He helped me learn to accept my neurodiversity and stand up for myself more. Throughout my time being coached by Jay, together we smoothly navigated through many different problem areas; we worked on managing general anxiety and learning self-compassion and also more compassion for others, just to name a few.

Thanks to Jay, I was able to finally forgive my mother for the way she treated me when I was a child and understand a bit better why she is the way she is. Jay taught me shadow work and how to soothe and comfort my child-self, which allowed me to do a lot of healing.

When I was going through a tough time, he helped me put things in perspective by teaching me about natural law. When people were mean to me due to their own insecurities, Jay taught me about the vibrational scale of feelings and how insecure people work from a place of low vibrational feelings such as fear. I learned about welcoming and befriending anxiety and the importance of surrendering and accepting that some things are out of my control. He also helped me and my husband to start working on some pretty big decisions about whether we want children or not.

Jay made us aware that some of the blockages we have been facing are caused by internal issues that need addressing on an individual basis first. He was always pleasant and encouraging and always made me feel heard.

As a coach, Jay is very professional and respectful while staying relatable and also very aware of cultural differences, as he lived in Spain for quite some time. Being from Portugal myself and having lived through the cultural shock of moving to the UK, I really appreciated this. I recommend him wholeheartedly without any reservations; he is a phenomenal human being and a brilliant coach. 

I will never forget Jay and the things he taught me—my husband will be his next client! :)

Working with Jay has been an absolute revelation. As someone with ADHD, I've always struggled with self-mastery and maintaining focus. Jay’s ADHD coaching service has profoundly transformed how I manage my daily life and personal goals. Jay’s approach is both compassionate and highly effective.

From our first session, he took the time to understand my unique challenges and tailored his strategies to fit my needs. The self-mastery work we did together was nothing short of life-changing. Jay introduced me to practical tools and techniques that helped me harness my strengths, manage my time more effectively, and stay organized. His consistent support and non-judgmental guidance made me feel understood and empowered. One of the most impactful aspects of Jay’s coaching was his emphasis on accountability and sustainable progress. He helped me set realistic goals and provided the encouragement I needed to achieve them. With Jay’s help, I’ve gained a greater sense of control over my life, improved my productivity, and significantly reduced my stress levels.

I can't recommend Jay enough. If you’re looking for specialized ADHD coaching that truly understands and addresses your needs, Jay’s self-mastery work is an invaluable resource. Thank you, Jay, for helping me unlock my potential and navigate life with newfound confidence!

It’s hard to articulate the exact nature of my experience working with Jay. The best way I can describe it is mentorship, but that is insufficient. It’s no exaggeration to say that my 20 sessions with Jay were one of the most transformative and rewarding experiences of my life. There are a few reasons for this, which I will preface with some context. I had limited and variable experiences with counselling in my late teens (I am 24 at the time of writing in April 2025). 

While some experiences had been very positive, others had placed me rather permanently back into my shell. So much so that it wasn’t until a year after my best friend recommended Jay as a coach that I decided to give it a shot. It has proven to be a very sound investment. Right off the bat, Jay’s easy-going and genuine nature put me at ease. Jay is a sound judge of character, very apt at tailoring his approach to the needs of his clients, whilst remaining unwavering in his convictions and integrity. It was easy to learn to trust him. I benefited from the clarity he brought to my life. His consultative approach allowed us to build a program that worked perfectly for me, flexible enough to support my changing needs yet structured enough to incrementally strengthen my mind and improve my life.

From lending an ear, asking the right questions at the right time, introducing me to life-changing concepts while diligently and patiently guiding my mind to comprehension of them, helping me to identify and transcend my limiting beliefs, and finally, more than a few laughs! I had a great deal on my plate when I first connected with Jay at the end of 2023, a final-year university student at a psychological breaking point. 6 months and 20 sessions later, I was a new man. Not because I had radically changed, but rather because Jay had helped me subtly shift my perspective to one of abundance, appreciation, and acceptance. I graduated in 2024 with 1st Class Honours, and while he would certainly disagree with me, I don’t think I could have done it without him.

If you are somebody who wants support in extracting the best of themselves, I couldn’t recommend Jay’s services enough.

Following my diagnosis of ADHD and Autism at the age of 48, it’s fair to say that I had accumulated a lot of trauma in the years that I was undiagnosed. My diagnosis helped me to understand the reasons behind my challenges and differences, but I had no idea how to move forward in a world that isn’t set up to accommodate my neurodivergent mind. I made contact in the hope that someone could help me to come to terms with my diagnosis and to move forward with my life. After an initial consultation call, I was introduced to Jay.

Having had a lot of mental health counselling over the years, I knew what to expect; however, Jay took a different approach. Being neurodivergent himself, Jay understood the daily challenges I faced, and it was a relief to talk to someone who really gets me. He is so easy to get along with, and we connected straight away.

Jay helped me to understand how to work with my neurodivergent brain in a world that is set up to make it difficult for me to fit in and sets me up for failure. He helped me to strip life back to the things that are important to me and to understand how to work with my emotions instead of being stiff and resistant to them. Like everyone, I still have the ups and downs that life throws at me, but I now know how to ride the wave instead of getting stuck in a cycle of low mood and high anxiety. I give myself time to pause and then respond to challenging situations instead of reacting impulsively, and I now have a lot more positive interactions with the world around me because of this.

This short review doesn’t really do justice to the journey that Jay’s unique coaching style took me along. His forward-thinking approach really has changed my entire outlook on life. I now live every moment of my life, and rather than looking back, I look forward to the next exciting challenge.

If your mind feels like it's never quiet, this is your invitation to find the stillness within it.
