Life Coaching in Highbury

I know what it’s like to feel lost and overwhelmed and like nothing you do makes a difference. Years ago, I was at the end of my rope—but I turned my life around. Now, as your life coach, I am completely dedicated to helping you do the same.

Whether you’re struggling to grow your business, want to supercharge your career, or simply want to improve your life—I’m here to help you make it happen. With me at your side, you’ll gain the clarity, motivation, and practical tools you need to make those big dreams a reality.

Success Stories

Real Clients. Real Success. Real Results.
From feeling stuck to landing his dream job, entering a happy relationship, and transforming his entire life—this is Egis’s story:

“Within the first couple months of coaching, I achieved several incredible outcomes. I found an amazing, well-paid job—far beyond what I had expected—all with Jake’s support. I also entered a happy relationship, moved into the flat I had always dreamed of, started travelling the world, and gained a deeper understanding of myself. The journey has been truly transformative.”

My Clients Say

Before my coaching sessions with Jake, I was in a terrible position. My relationship was in a bad state, my feelings and sense of self-worth were very low, and I was barely able to stay emotionally stable. I hated my job and my whole life. However, since working with Jake, I’ve become much stronger, my self-belief went through the roof, and I know how valuable I am. I have found a company I love to work for, and my relationships with others are much more profound and exciting.

Tina Patel – Lawyer

Jake is a fantastic coach who gets to the core of the issues excellently. He helped me to take drastic steps (they were needed!), which brought me a massive shift in my business and my family life. Now, I work less, earn double that I used to and have more time for my kids. What I like about Jake is that he can be straightforward if needed and when necessary. He is not afraid to ask the difficult (fundamental) questions when the situation calls for them. An outstanding return on investment! Thank you, Jake. See you again soon.

Peter Barnes – Entrepreneur

When I started coaching with Jake, I was in the darkest depths of my relationship, my business, and my entire life. I was a walking shadow, and I couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel… However, Jake helped me to turn everything around and put me on the right tracks. His coaching helped me to change how I can see the world. The impact it has had on my business and personal life is priceless. His business ideas are so easy to implement and at the same time very powerful!

Ben C. – Business owner

Jake’s work as a coach has had tremendously positive feedback on my life. I feel like a different person. Working with Jake has helped me to concentrate on my vision, goals and the essential ACTIONS! Without a doubt, he has helped me achieve more in a few months than I did in the last five years. I am a different person now compared to when I initially started my coaching sessions with Jake.

Neil Coker – Founder and CEO

The only thing I can say is a “huge thank you, Jake”! I already had the right tools in place to create a good income. However, Jake added a few missing puzzles to my plan and helped me accelerate my income tremendously in just a few weeks. He could see what I was missing and helped me to make the right decisions and changes. It wasn’t always easy, but it was worth it.

Denise Green – Peak Performance Coach

Jake helped me change my life when I felt lost. I decided to work with him because I wanted to change my career path. With his genuine personality and sense of humour, I instantly connected with him. He helped me find my new way, and I am now doing what I always wanted to do, but wasn’t brave enough to try. Jake believed in me when I doubted every action and feeling I had. He pushed me to my limits, so I had to break them, and to my surprise, I did.

Jake offers an excellent service. It is incomplex and at the same time full of wisdom. He was able, in a straightforward way, to help me find my inner truth. At the same time, he inspires, not only through his fantastic support, faith, and confidence but also with his contagious vibrancy and beautiful personality. My self-belief and determination have soared. I can honestly say since coaching with Jake, my life has never been lovely. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your life coach!

Mary Larson – Doctor

Jake! The only thing I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You have changed my life for the better. Finally, I feel like I am alive. Thank you for showing me that I can do what I always wanted to do.

Romario Ramirez – Business owner, Speaker & Artist

Jake is a great coach. My sessions with him were fantastic and open minded. I thought I knew a lot, but he gave a lesson that we can not ever stop learning and getting better. Jake is very intelligent, alert and unique. He looks through people to find the right path for everyone he works with. He is very experienced and I’m truly grateful for the support he gave us to work through this troubling time. He is definitely made for being a life coach.

Steven P. – COO of a large corporation

Working with Jake gave me tremendous confidence and motivation. He is an excellent coach, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for one. He took me from talented but with a lack of confidence and self-belief to a bold athlete. He has taught me to dream big dreams, aim to the top and to be the best. Now I am interested only in the 1st place – second place is the first place among the last ones.

Shaun T. – Athlete

Getting a coach was one of my best decisions in life! If you are hesitating, please STOP! In my case in a few short months, I went from procrastinating and agonising over taking my next step, to putting myself out there and succeeding! It was an amazing and profound experience. Jake is intuitive and positive. And most importantly, he doesn’t waste time. His style is an excellent balance of “let’s get things done” and also creative and exploratory. He seems to know when to focus on the concrete goals and when to explore our motivations and feelings.

Matt – Investor

Jake coached and mentored me through the first phases of my internet company. He is a very talented, knowledgeable and experienced businessman. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his incredible help. Jake helped me a lot by merely believing in me and my business. My confidence soared through the roof from the very first chat with this brilliant man. He helped me set up my own online fashion business, and it is running very successfully now. Thank you for your impressive help. Keep doing what you are doing!

Jane Ho – Online Entrepreneur

I can highly recommend Jake and his excellence services. He helped, mentored me and coached me to take me and my business to the next level. And then another and another one. I can not thank him enough!

I have just one word to describe this guy: Phenomenal! Jake gave me the tools, insights, and courage to chase my real dreams. Thanks to life coaching with Jake, my life has changed dramatically! I am now on my way to realise my biggest dreams and goals. The techniques Jake has given me are life-changing. Jake is the best coach I have ever met.
