Testimonials

The perfect interviewee.

I recently hosted a well-being talk by Jonathan aimed at helping our new PWC Summer Interns in the workplace. His talk was engaging, interesting and informative. Both the interns and I learnt some really valuable advice and practices to help with well-being that we are all keen to use in our work and personal lives. Jonathan was great with the interns, involving them in discussions and making them reflect on their lives to tailor the session to each individual there. Jonathan mentioned many relevant and realistic techniques to improve well-being and explained concepts and theories very clearly and in a way that related to the interns. The interns felt very positive after coming out of his talk, with a lot of them staying to ask more questions. Overall, Jonathan is definitely recommended if you would like to hear new ideas on how to cope with work/life balance, stress etc and to engage your students, clients and employees.​

My sessions with Jonathan have been extremely helpful for me while going through a rough patch. Jonathan helped me realise my true potential and help me focus my energy on being more creative and focused instead of manic and scattered.

Jonathon spoke at the college to an audience of teaching professionals. He was tasked with talking to us about teenage mental health issues, an area that we deal with on a daily basis. Jonathon quickly, and with incredible skill and clarity, demonstrated his expertise and experience in this area. He was able to pitch his talk to his audience, fully aware of our context, issues and experiences. As a result, the audience were gripped by Jonathon’s incredible experience and insight, his depth of knowledge and his integrity. Jonathon has a calm and controlled manner when speaking. He was thoroughly prepared and keen to impart his knowledge and apply it to our circumstances. Jonathon was keen to take questions and answered with a complexity that the topic requires. I cannot recommend Jonathon highly enough. The feedback from staff was extremely positive and Jonathon’s talk gave everyone not only a new insight but also plenty to think about, go away with and to use in our own professional practice.

Working with Rijul over just five coaching sessions has been truly transformative. I had reached what felt like an ‘impasse’ in my counselling journey over a number of months, and was struggling to shift my mindset - holding fast to a very negative narrative about myself. But over five weeks of working with Rijul - where each session was an absolute joy and incredibly uplifting, even while they helped me navigate some sensitive and challenging areas - I was able to tap into an innate sense of self-worth, autonomy and empowerment which had eluded me most of my adult life. The sessions felt like a true partnership. A safe space for collaboration and self-discovery. And the ‘five pillars’ worked seamlessly together in the background of all our conversations and activities, having a supportive, ‘buttressing’ effect across all areas of my life. They helped me identify and better appreciate the many resources (internal and external) I already had available to me, that I could ‘lean into’ on a daily basis. Working with Rijul I feel I have arrived at the start of a new journey - now well-equipped with a flexible ‘mental wealth toolkit’ and a new sense of confidence and personal resourcefulness, which will help me realise my full potential and demonstrate greater resilience when needed. I feel genuinely excited to go forwards from here and can’t stop eulogising, to anyone that will listen, about how powerful and transformative my coaching experience with Rijul has been. I had no idea so much could be done and achieved in such a short amount of time, or that what seemed like ‘hard work’ could be made to feel so easy. 

Amazing speaker. Incredibly knowledgeable and responsive to the crowd. Probably one of the best talks I’ve been to.
