As a Professional Coach I am committed to helping you unlock your potential, find clarity, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. As an experienced life coach working towards accreditation with the International Coaching Federation (ICF PCC), I combine professional expertise with deep compassion to inspire and empower individuals to thrive. With a degree in linguistic and cultural mediation, I coach in both English and Italian and also speak French and Spanish. I have extensive experience in learning and development, having spent years coaching my cohort of students who were working towards their management qualifications, helping them gain promotions and strengthen their confidence and self-belief. Having held leadership roles myself, I’ve successfully helped others step into managerial positions, equipping them with the tools and mindset needed to lead their team with confidence and purpose. Currently, I also work as a consultant, delivering diversity and inclusion training and LGBTQ+ advocacy workshops to organizations, schools, and companies. Through this work, I aim to foster greater understanding, empathy, and inclusion in workplaces and society at large. I also volunteer with charities, facilitating anti-bullying workshops in schools and working with immigrants and refugees in amateur physical theatre settings to connect, learn their stories, and celebrate their resilience through creative expression. I am a spiritual person who believes deeply in the power of human energy. I see the potential in every person and work to help individuals tap into their inner strength, build self-awareness, and align their energy with their aspirations. I bring personal insights and first hand experience into parenthood and adoption, offering compassionate guidance to families navigating these transformative journeys. My coaching is grounded in core values of inclusion, equity, and authenticity. As a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and an activist against racial inequalities, I provide a safe, affirming space for all clients to explore their paths and pursue their goals. Described as inspiring, wise, and approachable by those I’ve worked with, I strive to empower you to overcome challenges, build self-awareness, and create a fulfilling life aligned with your values and aspirations. Whether you’re seeking support with relationships, identity, career advancement, or personal growth, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s create the life you deserve—together.
WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?
Life coaching is a professional partnership focused on helping individuals achieve personal and professional growth through guided self-discovery. Unlike traditional advice-giving, life coaching is fundamentally about asking powerful questions that enable clients to uncover their own solutions.
Key Characteristics
- A collaborative relationship between coach and client
- Helps individuals gain clarity about their goals
- Focuses on personal development and overcoming obstacles
- Empowers clients to create actionable plans for change
Strategic partner
A life coach serves as a strategic partner who:
- Asks thought-provoking questions
- Provides accountability
- Supports clients in bridging the gap between their current reality and desired future
Core philosophy
The core philosophy is that clients already possess the wisdom to solve their challenges. A coach’s role is to help them access that internal knowledge through careful questioning, creating a non-judgmental space for exploration and personal transformation.
«I cherish my friendship with Giona to no end. He has been a voice of reason, a pillar of solace and a cheerleader all in one swoop. He listens but more importantly...he hears! I value his opinion and perspective. He is truly compassionate and his words are rooted in genuine care and love. What more can one ask for??»
Darius, Los Angeles
«At one point in time, I found myself navigating a difficult relationship. He was one of the first people I reached out to. He listened without judgment. He was kind, but also reminded me to be realistic about expectations. He helped make my perspective clear, when it got a little cloudy.»
Darius, Los Angeles
«I had the privilege of having Jonathan as my tutor while studying a supervisory course with my previous employer. He was the first person who created a safe space for me to openly discuss diversity, inclusion, and equity in the workplace—topics I hadn't been deeply exposed to before. It was refreshing and truly eye-opening.»
Haddy, London
«Jonathan’s teaching style made me feel completely at ease, fostering an environment where I could freely express myself and explore complex ideas. He helped me understand that my feelings were valid and consistently encouraged my growth and development.»

empower others will make him an exceptional life coach.»

«I have been lucky enough to have had Gionatan as my supervisor when I first started my career in Hospitality.
Gionatan was not only a guidance in the work environment, he was a friend and a rock. Have to say, he brings joy and fun in any room. Maybe he didn't know (or maybe he was aware of it) but Gionni was already an inspiring life coach.»
Elisa, London
«His life experiences and his unique personality made him an empathetic human being and a natural listener. Gionatan helped me build my confidence to overcome my work life challenges and helped me starting that process that led to unlock my potential.»
