“I started seeing Jonathan after suffering an emotional breakdown due to my relationship breaking down and growing pressures at work. I had reached a point where I needed professional help. From the very first session Jonathan put me at ease and I felt very comfortable in his presence. Throughout my year of seeing Jonathan on a weekly basis, he was always caring, compassionate and understanding, yet when necessary he asked difficult questions the needed answering. I never felt judged in any way. Jonathan helped me through the most difficult period of my life and after a year I now feel in control of my life and true to myself. He has helped me understand why I behaved and felt the way I did. He has helped me put ghosts from the past to bed and I am now able to look forward to the future a stronger person. I will be forever grateful to Jonathan and the time and effort he undertook to help me get better. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone who is thinking about seeking professional help.”

“After my mother passed away, I became very lost and anxious. Jonathan provided me with a space to talk about my feelings freely and made me feel comfortable to do so with his kind, warm and understanding nature. Over time, I started to become more in tune with my feelings and I learned to let go of the things in life that are beyond my control. I am now feeling much more positive about the future. Thank you Jonathan”

“The recruitment industry can be a stressful and demanding environment to work in and long term can cause burnout for many that work in it. Ensuring this didn’t happen to my team members was important to me. I was keen to ensure that as my business grow I cultivated an environment which promoted wellbeing and that it practiced it on a daily basis. Jonathan was perfectly placed to help me deliver and implement this. His diverse expertise in mental health and creative counselling provided me with the perfect balance.
The workshops and 1-2-1 sessions have not only helped lowered general stress levels but it has also made us self-aware and able to identify when we are feeling overwhelmed or to recognise when our co-workers are. It’s this self-awareness which really helps in a team environment. A by-product of providing this wellbeing program for my team has also made them feel valued, which has contributed towards my 100% staff retention rate.
I would highly recommend Jonathan. You can tell when someone is passionate about what they do because they become a master in their craft. Jonathan this is you, thank you for all your help.”

“I’ve been seeing Jonathan Hoban for therapy for the past two years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Jonathan has a remarkable ability to challenge my feelings in a constructive way, gently guiding me to explore new perspectives. His teaching have significantly boosted my confidence, helped manage anxiety, and confront sensitivity.
Jonathan is happy to take sessions around my schedule, and I’ve never had to worry about appointments running late or feeling rushed during our talks. Jonathan ensures that I have the space and time I need to discuss whatever is on my mind.
Jonathan’s empathy shines through in every interaction. He has a genuine understanding of what I’m going through and continues to provide unwavering support throughout my journey. He’s a true gem of a therapist. ”

“Jonathan has helped me immeasurably while coping with the grief and trauma of a family bereavement. He listened with great empathy and over time has helped me to reframe what happened so that I’m able to cope with my feelings in a more gentle way. Jonathan is always understanding, respectful and flexible if I needed to change sessions due to my freelance job. I’m so grateful for our therapy sessions and his consistent expertise and compassion.”

“I have been seeing Jonathan for almost 8 years now. He has been both my therapist and coach, over this period and I credit his sessions for allowing me to operate at my peak in a highly demanding job. Indeed I wouldn’t have been able to continue working at this level without him. His sessions have been a pressure relief valve by providing a safe space for me to connect with whatever is impacting me mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This means that I don’t bring it home, allowing me to be more present with my family. I particularly appreciate the support he gave me when processing the death of my father. The sessions are tailored to whatever is top of my mind, rather than a fixed agenda.
He has been flexible enough to fit around my schedule and meet with me at times when I am more able to create the headspace for a session. I appreciate him accommodating my request for sessions at the end of the week, when I am naturally more reflective.
I have built a “team” of professionals who keep me operating at my peak. Jonathan is a core part of that and covers the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of that , while others cover the physical aspects.
If you want to be your best possible and authentic self, no matter what life throws at you, then I strongly recommend that you work with Jonathan.”

“I have been seeing Jonathan for almost two years now, after going through a traumatic event. From day one of our sessions together I felt reassured and safe with him. He makes me feel understood, and listens intently to what I have to say and helps me process my emotions. I feel a strong connection with Jonathan, one that can only come from being vulnerable around someone and feeling completely safe.
He always makes time for me, and is happy to work around my schedule. There have been a few times where I have needed to speak with him urgently and each time he has prioritised speaking with me and helping me in that moment.
I am so glad that I have had this experience with Jonathan and can’t thank him enough, or recommend him enough. He is a truly caring person, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without his help. Thank you so much Jonathan”
