Testimonials

"Working with Shayan has been one of the most valuable investments in myself. Over the years, through both coaching and therapy, he has helped me break habits, shape my career direction, set firm boundaries with family, take better care of myself and shape my vision.

As someone with ADHD, I deeply appreciate his ability to bring clarity to my scattered thoughts, making things feel structured rather than overwhelming. He helps me see things sequentially, which has been key in creating real change. His flexibility in each session means we always focus on what I need most in the moment, and I always leave with something meaningful to integrate. Shayan has a rare gift for meeting me where I am while guiding me toward change that truly sticks."Yasmina N, Programmer & Designer

“After the COVID lockdowns I was experiencing mental exhaustion. A colleague had been working with Shayan and I was intrigued to learn more about what he does. I have a lot of great creative ideas and potential but my brain is too scattered to align them together.

Shayan helped me to organise my creative process to discover that I wanted to start a business and we created a plan. His rapport style is natural, relaxed and he combines the practical and creative process in a way that allows my potential to emerge and quieten my doubts. I’m excited by the progress i’ve made because I couldn’t have done it by myself. I’m grateful that we have both a trusting professional relationship and an authentic friendship where we can be ourselves."Dayle G, Dentist

“As someone always in work mode, I found it almost impossible to step away from my business. .The weight of responsibility, the constant decision-making and the feeling that everything depended on me made it difficult to switch off. Rest felt like a luxury I couldn’t afford, and delegation seemed like a risk rather than a necessity.

Working with Shayan changed that. His patient and insightful observations helped me zoom out and see my business from a high-level perspective. I’ve learned to release control, trust my team, and create space for myself without guilt. I now take real breaks and have found a balance that allows me to grow my business without being consumed by it.

As a CEO, I don’t have many spaces where I can be fully myself, but with Shayan, I can step outside the pressure of leadership and explore meaningful ways forward—without the pressure to have all the answers. He’s helped me realize that, just like in dentistry, precision matters—but so does knowing when to step back and let things take their course.”Dr Hanel N, Multi-Practice Dental Owner

“I was caught in the grind—working long hours as a trader in London, making good money but feeling completely disconnected from any real sense of fulfillment. I was exhausted, uninspired, and lost, unsure what was missing from my life. Through our sessions, Shayan helped me see beyond the routine I had trapped myself in. He challenged me to question what I truly wanted and guided me to reconnect with parts of myself I had long ignored.

As I gained clarity, doors started opening. I made the leap to leave London, move to Spain, and step into a life that feels truly aligned with who I am. This wasn’t just about career shifts—it was about learning to trust my intuition and take ownership of my happiness. I never imagined I could feel this free and fulfilled. I finally feel like my life belongs to me.”Jean Van D, Global Markets Trader

"I've worked with Shayan for more than 6 years. He has accompanied and supported me through some of the most difficult times in my life, and also joined me in celebrating recovery and personal growth. He has had a massive positive impact on my mental health and I couldn't be more grateful to have found him.

I've seen a few therapists and coaches over the years but have always come back to Shayan, and he's the only one I have seen long-term, due to his incredible ability to build a safe space and to get to the heart of the issues with only a few questions. His style is very approachable and he will not hesitate to use different techniques and tools to aid his clients in the way that suits them best. He has deep empathy and his holistic approach which focuses on the body as much as the mind is very powerful. I have recommended him in the past and will continue to do so to anyone who seeking support with mental health. Thank you Shayan!Emilien H, Managing Director

"I was cynical to work with a coach. My partner found Shayan after we moved to Colombia and I decided to give it a try after a challenging transition. From our first call, I knew he met me at my level of intelligence, depth and integrity and I felt safe opening up. For most of my life, I saw the world as a battlefield, always pushing forward, achieving more, and staying in fight mode. While this made me highly successful in the creative field, it began taking a toll on my family, health and sense of self.

One of the most profound shifts was realising that putting on my armor is a choice. I’ve learned to use it intentionally, rather than letting it control me. I have found more space to slow down, lead with compassion, and step out of the grind of always chasing more. What I appreciate most about Shayan is that, as a man, he gave me the space to embrace my full spectrum, from strength to vulnerability, without judgement. His presence allowed me to step into a new way of being, where my mind has finally caught up to present reality of all the blessings that surround me. "Dr Juan M, Creator & Investor

“When I started working with Shayan, I was completely drained. I had been hit with loss after loss : family disconnection, the death of loved ones, and deep burnout from work. It felt like I was stuck in survival mode, unable to move forward.

Therapy had never really worked for me before, but Shayan had a deep insight to understanding me. He adapted his approach to my ADHD, making sessions feel natural, intuitive, and deeply personal. Slowly, I rebuilt my boundaries, gained clarity on what I needed, and learned how to hold space for myself without collapsing under the weight of my past.

For the first time in a long time, I feel balanced, grounded, and alive. Not just functioning, but truly living again. The trust, understanding and insight I found in our work together made all the difference."Elena G, Senior Graphics Designer

"I was burnt out, lost and disconnected from myself and all the people around me. A friend recommended I seek a coach and through recommendations, I found Shayan. I instantly trusted him because of his honesty, understanding of corporate pressure and felt I could let my guard down. He creates a powerful space and gently guided me to be truthful with myself and see the bigger picture by connecting mind and body in the moment. I began to piece together how much I sacrificed myself for others and within a short time, I found a new vitality and understanding on what was missing. I’m grateful for investing in myself because the best gift I have received is feeling more myself and being able to navigate each day and decision with greater harmony."Samuel F, Trader

“I came to Shayan struggling with anger that felt completely out of my control. I would react before I even had a chance to process what was happening, and it was affecting my relationships, work, and well-being. At first, I found it difficult to connect with my body, but through Shayan’s patience and insight, I learned to create distance between myself and my emotions. Instead of being consumed by anger, I started to recognise its signals and choose how to respond.

Now, for the first time, I feel in control of my emotions rather than controlled by them. I understand myself on a deeper level and no longer feel stuck in old reactive patterns. Working with Shayan has been life changing.”Vianca L, Nurse

“I started working with Shayan after realising how much my past was affecting my present and future life. I had become so identified with the traumas of my childhood that they manifested in unhappiness and self-sabotaging patterns in my relationships. No matter how much I tried to move forward, I felt stuck in cycles I couldn’t break.

Shayan gave me the help I had been searching for after years of confusion. His approach allowed me to explore my past in a way that felt safe yet transformative, leading to deep healing and self-growth I didn’t even know was possible.

The reason I was able to do such difficult work was because of the space Shayan created. He has a nurturing and paternal presence that helped heal wounds I carried around the masculine. I felt both deeply cared for and held accountable, which allowed me to trust the process and fully commit to my healing.”Kelly L, Social Media Manager

"I have worked with Shayan for a number of years now. I can safely say there has not been a single session where I didn’t discover something new. Shayan combines his extensive, left-brain knowledge of psychotherapy literature with a unique, right-brain approach to conversation.

His sessions involve a heavy use of imagery and introception, which bypass the prefrontal cortex and the automatic self-talk we tend to engage in as humans. This is great for uncovering deeply buried memories in the emotional part of the brain. If you tend to get sad or moody throughout the day with no apparent reason, Shayan can be just the right coach for you."Obi O, Entrepreneur & Programmer

"I’ve worked with several therapists during my lifetime, but the progress I made with Shayan was exactly what I’d been wanting for years. We worked intensely for 6 months, and it was the best investment I’ve ever made in myself. For the first time, I truly understand where my emotions come from and how to relate to them differently.

Shayan provided insightful, tailored assignments between sessions, allowing me to reflect and grow at my own pace without overwhelming my busy schedule. These significantly enhanced our conversations, deepening my insights and understanding each week. Shayan helped me finally overcome fears and obstacles I’ve struggled with for years with new wisdom —I’m incredibly grateful for this experience"Claire S, Nurse

“Shayan’s work feels like magic. I found him during a period of creative block and a lack of zest for life, and his approach was exactly what I needed. What stands out about his style is that he doesn’t position himself as an expert on me - he stays present, curious, and deeply attuned to how I see the world. When he truly sees me, I feel it. His observations and intuition are spot on, making every session feel insightful and alive.

He constantly introduces creative experiments that help me deepen my self understanding. Most of the time, they bring profound insights, and when they don’t fully click, he never forces his perspective or insists on being ‘right’ —something I’ve experienced with other coaches. Instead, he moves with me, finding new ways to connect and guide me toward deeper trust in both him and myself.

With his help, I found my creative flow again and learned to move past the perfectionism and imposter syndrome that once held me back. Now, I create with greater ease, confidence, and a deeper connection to my own vision.”Eduardo J, Artist

“I thought I had moved on from the emotions and experiences that kept me trapped in the past, until I worked with Shayan. His creative process helped me access a depth of emotional release I had never experienced before, allowing me to meet my emotions with true compassion and understanding.

This experience has changed the way I navigate challenges. Instead of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I now see obstacles as opportunities for growth and self discovery. Shayan has given me the tools to reflect, process, and approach life with greater clarity, resilience, and trust in myself. Lillian M, Fascial Stretch Therapist

"I was introduced to Shayan at a time when I was confused about my career and paralysed by making decisions. I thought that if I get my job situation sorted out, everything would fall into place. After our first call, I learnt the job situation was only the tip of my issues and I had a shaky foundation to make that decision.

From the first call, I felt like I was on a team with Shayan. I felt like he cared and wanted me to succeed. He helped me to paint a picture of my life, showing me all the beautiful and ugly parts. Sometimes it would be a word, or a moment of silence, that would cause part of my head to explode and see everything clearly. It turns out the obvious was in front of me all the time and I just needed to see it through the correct lens.

I now have a much more stable foundation and understanding of myself. I’m contracting part-time and building a business which is fully aligned with who I am and want to serve the world. Most of all, I have a 'me' space with Shayan to come back to myself if I ever get lost. "Lin C, Entrepreneur

“I spent most of my life in my head, stuck in patternsthat kept me from truly moving forward. On the surface, I was successful, but something always felt missing, and I couldn’t figure out what. Shayan’s approach immediately resonated with me. He guided me to reconnect with parts of myself that had been buried for years, helping me shift from overthinking into deeper self awareness.

What impressed me most was how quickly he saw through the ‘mind games’ I used to create a sense of control. Rather than engaging in a power struggle, he introduced imagery, metaphors, and intuition, opening up an entirely new way of exploring myself. Through this process, I began to recognise how limiting my analytical mindset had been. He helped me create space for more balanced, mature parts of myself to emerge. I now feel I have more freedom and presence in how I show up in any situation, allowing me to slowly release my desire to control everything." Kim H, Lawyer

“When I first met Shayan my confidence was shaky and my anxiety was so high that I was struggling to relate with myself. By drawing on his own personal experience, I was inspired to to travel on my own path of self discovery. His superb listening skills, combined with his knowledge and the tools he shared with me, gave me a new perspective, enabling me to become truly confident and start the process to learn to love myself. I’m confident he can help anyone the same way he helped me.”Sarah L, Publisher

"I have a hard time saying no and this has always kept me on the edge of overwhelm. Every time I try to understand why i’m like this, I would end up in a mental loop and more frustrated. I was exhausted of giving so much of myself and getting so little back from the people around me.

When I started sessions with Shayan, I felt a huge weight drop from my shoulders. He always offered tools to start the session so I could connect with myself and my body. He created a space where I could just be, without any judgement. I didn’t know how much I needed that and after a few sessions, all the layers of resentment i’d been holding back started to unfold.

I learnt what boundaries meant and putting myself first. It was difficult to learn how to be more selfish and protect my energy because it was so new. But once I learned to listen and take care of myself more, I felt my energy starting to come back and all my relationships have improved around me." Mo K, Medical Doctor

"I jumped in with working with Shayan after I saw the results he got for a friend in just six sessions. Finding the right mental health support in the USA was always a struggle, as many providers manage symptoms rather than addressing deeper rooted issues. In the realm of mental health, Shayan is a hidden gem, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him.

Working with Shayan has been the best thing for me to understand myself, love myself more, and release things I have been holding onto that no longer serve me. He has a unique teaching practice that is flexible to your specific situation. He is wonderful at reading when some event you are talking about causes an emotional reaction. He then figures out a way to dive into the issues so you can release it.

Since starting with Shayan I healed much of the relationship with my father, have been able to cry when I am upset instead of blocking it (something I haven’t been able to do for most of my life), understand my needs more instead of putting others before me all the time, helped keep me from sabotaging a beautiful relationship and I have even become organized. I know, right - me, organized?!

Logan T, Health Entrepreneur

"I have been working with Shayan for a number of years on and off and he has been there for me during various major life changes and crisis. As someone who has been constantly working on myself, I felt like there was always something to fix which became depressing. Shayan helped me to see that there are periods I need to work and other times I need to learn to truly rest and integrate.

When are working together, the process is deep and profound. He’s regularly checking in on my progress to see if I need breaks or if I want to continue working in deeper layers. I now have a better connection with my ‘inner compass’ to know when to seek support and when to celebrate the progress I made. I’m grateful knowing I can turn to him at any point on this twisty road of life! "Josephine L, Yoga Teacher

"Shayan helped me when I was in a dark hole, alone, scared, and unheard. I never had sessions before and it was an amazing experience. His approach is very kind and warm and he knew exactly what to say so i can safely open up my “pandora’s box” which I didn't even know existed.

I also loved his assignments because it was fun and it made me really think about my situation from new angles. I feel like our sessions really made a big impact on my life and helped me piece together a lot of things. They are always fun as well and from the first session we had I knew he was going to support me in my life for a very long time.

He is very professional but he also became family to me because with all the help he’s given me both mentally and emotionally, he’s done more for me than my actual family. And for that, I will forever be grateful."Giselle B, Nurse

"The work I did with Shayan blew my mind. He helped guide me into areas of my unconscious self that had been buried for decades. His ability to work layer by layer, without going too fast or slow, helped me immensely to process what needed to come out.

The results and healing that occurred after I uncovered thoughts patterns and beliefs that were no longer serving me were tremendous. To say that my day to day life has changed is an understatement. I genuinely know new peace." Victor G, Business Development

"When I reached out to Shayan, I was at breaking point. At first I was too proud to seek help because I thought I should know how to deal with my problems. But something told me it was time to let go of my pride and seek help. I was scared to be judged and be labelled as ‘broken’ but Shayan was patient and curious to welcome all the different parts of me, even parts I was unaware of.

His sharp intuition and experiments took us on a journey where I went through the whole landscape of my emotions. I learnt to create distance and understand them better without judgement and later, with compassion. He helped me reconnect with my humanity and take off a heavy burden on my shoulders that I was carrying around for years that no longer served me." Priti P, Copywriter

"As someone who mostly lives in my head, Shayan helped me to connect my logic and emotion through somatic experiences to shift me out of autopilot behaviours. His clever use of metaphors, images and archetypes connected me to my body and creative faculties which had a domino effect in every area of my life. I now have a greater trust in my intuition and direction in life, knowing I can always find self support and outside support with new challenges." Jack R, Product Manager & Entrepreneur

Shayan was amazing at guiding me through an interpersonal relationship that required understanding and healing. His calm and non-judgmental nature makes it easy to be vulnerable and to get to the root cause of underlying issues and stay with them until something shifts. Through this process, I was able to not only understand a lot about myself but Shayan instilled in me the tools I required to make the changes needed to improve this relationship which is now better than ever. Joseph T, Photographer

"From the moment I met Shayan , I knew we would work well together - he is super friendly, but also professional and creates a warm, safe, non-judgemental space for you to unfold. I worked with him twice, most recently on a very specific challenge around dealing with my partner's illness.

He helped me understand a lot of things I wasn't able to on my own, equipped me with techniques I can use in difficult moments, but most importantly I went from a pretty low point in my life to feeling like myself again in only 2 months. I will continue to work with him, always be grateful for his help and highly recommend him!" Cristina T, Lead Product Manager
