Testimonials from Clients

Jon is an outstanding coach and I am deeply grateful for the time we have spent together. I chose to work with Jon precisely because he had views that were markedly different to my own. Jon has helped me develop new perspectives and see the world in new ways. I highly recommend Jon to anyone seeking a professional coach: He will connect with your needs, supporting you to define credible goals. Above all, Jon works hard to identify "whole person" growth; helping you to secure long-lasting change. 

Richard, COO at Multinational Aerospace Company

My work with Jon has been truly enlightening and transformative.  The deep trust and relationship we have established has allowed me to uncover my core values, recognise and amplify my strengths, and use this to support my personal development and growth.   Jon has armed me with newfound self-awareness and confidence, and I've become more poised, comfortable, and effective in my role as a result.  I now tackle challenges with a sense of assurance and clarity, making me a more impactful contributor to my organisation. I'm incredibly thankful for his guidance and support that has propelled me to new heights both personally and professionally.

Ben, Director at Building Society

Jon has a great ability to interpret, appreciate and unlock your greater potential. His ability to work with me as an individual, to create a safe environment in which he we could work and to challenge my thinking in that environment enabled a strong level of trust and positive momentum in a relative short period of time. For leaders, professionals or individuals looking to understand and improve themselves I would thoroughly recommend Jon’s coaching.

P. CEO at Multinational Technology Company

Jon Keen has guided me through the rocky paths of redundancy and retirement to a more exciting world than I could have imagined alone. Possibilities and opportunities have been opening up. It is a chance to exercise a dormant creativity and find the authenticity and determination to carry projects forward. Jon enables a focussed development with compassion and humour. 

Dr Venetia, Physician

I have moved from unhealthy states of constant productivity and anxiety to one of greater peace and groundedness; I'm learning to trust my body and my intuition rather than grasping for the direction of others; I'm more able to trust in myself and the world around me which allows for a healthier and more enjoyable life; and I am starting to develop and connect with my own sense of spirituality - which was a core desire when we first started working together. I am a more emotionally present and self aware (i.e. better!) father. I have more space, time and empathy for my wife.

He is able to offer deep healing and transformational work at a therapeutic level through psychological and somatic lenses, right through to more structured and directional coaching that offers practical insight and support to addressing life's challenges. Then he is able to seamlessly integrate wisdom on gender, archetypes or from different spiritual traditions that helps to draw out even deeper meaning and understanding from the experience. He also serves as a Mentor - as a man, Coach and entrepreneur - in subtle ways that have helped inspire and guide me. Ultimately it is his ability to show up consciously and be present with me and whatever's underneath the surface that makes the experience of working with Jon so valuable and powerful.

Joel, Organizational Coach & Consultant

I have been a psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer for more than 40 years. I have also trained and practiced in sensorimotor trauma psychotherapy, developmental movement and dance movement therapy. Initially, I worked with Jon in a group setting and was deeply impressed by his ability to hold a group with sensitivity, great skill, presence and flexibility. This experience made me feel that Jon was offering a way of being and working therapeutically that would be valuable for my ongoing development.

My experience of working with Jon in 1-1 coaching during the last 12 months, has been transformative in ways that I had not perceived possible. My work with Jon has helped me move towards a deeper and more integrated sense of self. Jon brings to our work a truly relational perspective. He is able to connect with me and himself with fine attunement moment to moment, he brings a transparency that always feels in service of the work and his presence is exceptional.

I have become more confident and content in many areas of my life due to the integration I feel with my sense of self and my spirituality. I have an increased awareness of my body and how to pay attention to my self support in subtle somatic ways. Jon’s clarity of language lends me a clear mirroring of my internal processes which helps me to literally come to terms with my self and in turn find clearer ways of being in the world. I find I am becoming increasingly effective both personally and professionally and I often feel utter joy at being able to meet others as a fuller, more integrated person.

Shirley, Senior Psychotherapist

Early on it became apparent that Jon brought no judgement to our sessions. No matter which version of me arrives, I'm welcomed with kindness, curiosity, and love. Consistently experiencing this from someone else is incredibly powerful and has gone on to help highlight how I judge myself - often harshly and unfairly. We've slowly quietened those voices and as a result, I've started to like myself! 

Another significant factor has been our embodiment work. Jon helped slow everything down so we could work directly with my nervous system. This has been an incredible training in presence and has also enabled my body's pains and trauma to ease over time. It's brought up some difficult emotions and I have often felt exhausted after our sessions, but sticking with it has allowed my heaviness and lack of energy to lift and be replaced by will and desire.

Ultimately, I think it is the relationship we have developed that has had the greatest influence on me. It didn't take long for Jon to show me that a soulful, authentic therapeutic relationship is incredibly intimate. Learning to embrace this intimacy has enabled me to show up as my deepest, truest self - in all its shame and glory - and learn to love every part of myself.
