Who She Is
Christel Roux is a Specialist Wellness Counsellor (registered at ASCHP) and Neuro-Coach based in Pretoria, South Africa. She is the founder of GoThrive! — a coaching and counselling practice that blends neuroscience-based techniques, counselling, and Christian faith to help individuals and couples heal, grow, and thrive.
Her Story
From a young age, Christel felt a calling to support people through their struggles. After overcoming her own life challenges, she realized how powerful compassionate guidance can be. She pursued a path in counseling and coaching because she genuinely cares about seeing others thrive. Over the years she has worn many hats — wife, mother, traveler, artist — and these experiences taught her empathy and patience. They also showed her that everyone’s journey is unique. This understanding drives her to help clients create positive changes on their own terms.
Her Approach
Christel takes a neuroscience-based, holistic approach to coaching. She combines traditional coaching techniques with insights from psychology and brain science to help rewire negative thought patterns and encourage lasting change. Sessions are warm, non-judgmental spaces where each client’s story is heard.
She tailors every coaching program to the individual — there is no one-size-fits-all. Some clients benefit from practical goal-setting and accountability, while others need gentle guidance and healing conversations. She often incorporates tools like mindfulness exercises, journaling prompts, or NLP techniques to help clients gain clarity and build healthy habits.
The approach is grounded in neuroscience because understanding why your brain is trying to protect you (even when it is hurting you) is the first step toward change. But science is only half the story. The other half is the human connection. Sessions are a sacred pause — a warm, non-judgmental space where you do not have to perform.
Core Mission
To help people move beyond just coping with their lives to fundamentally shifting how they experience them. The goal is not just for you to know your worth — it is for you to feel it in your bones.
