About Christel

Hello, I’m Christel – Here to Empower Your Journey.

As a certified life coach and counsellor based in Pretoria, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others grow, heal, and find fulfilment. I believe that no challenge is too big when you have the right support. On this page, I’d like to share a bit about my story, my approach, and why I’m passionate about what I do.

My Journey

From a young age, I felt a calling to support people through their struggles. After overcoming some of my own life challenges, I realized how powerful compassionate guidance can be. I pursued a path in counseling and coaching because I genuinely care about seeing others thrive. Over the years I’ve worn many hats – wife, mother, traveler, artist – and these experiences taught me empathy and patience. They also showed me that everyone’s journey is unique. This understanding drives me to help you create
positive changes on your own terms. Whether you’re healing from the past or striving for personal growth, I’m here to walk that road with you.

My Coaching Approach

I take a neuroscience-based, holistic approach to coaching. What does that mean for you? It means I combine traditional coaching techniques with insights from psychology and brain science to truly re-wire negative thought patterns and encourage lasting change. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental space where your story is heard.

I tailor each 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. I often incorporate tools like mindfulness exercises, journaling prompts, or NLP techniques to help you gain clarity and build healthy habits.

My core values as a coach are empathy, trust, and empowerment. I will always meet you with understanding and confidentiality, and I’ll challenge you when needed so you can grow into your best self.
