1. Life Coach Johannesburg

Website: https://lifecoachjohannesburg.com/

Address: 5 Edgeworth Ln, Darrenwood

Contact: +27 11 595 4866

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM

Raising a child requires immense patience, especially if they have special needs. Life Coach Johannesburg focuses heavily on family dynamics and offers targeted support for parents of children on the autism spectrum. 

They draw on 25 years of experience to help kids, teens, and educators handle daily stress.

We recently spoke to a parent who used their services, and she said the tailored advice drastically improved her family’s morning routine. 

Their team also runs group coaching programs to improve peer relationships and stop bullying in schools. 

Sadly, their narrow focus on youth makes them a poor fit for corporate adults, and their 3:30 PM weekday closing time restricts busy schedules.

Amazing life coach for my daughter 

Dominique has been such an amazing life coach for my daughter who is 16. Lockdown really took its toll on my daughter emotionally with lots to deal with. Morgan loved her sessions with Dominique and each week I could see how her confidence improved and we were suddenly having very thought provoking deep conversations. She has goals that are now set in place and she is excited about her future. Thank you so much Dominique for everything g you did for her.

She has helped my daughter in so many ways

They say that it takes a village to raise a child, and this phrase rang true through a particularly tough transition for my then 7 yo daughter, and Dominique is my village, she has helped my daughter in so many ways and still continues to help her navigate through difficult times and deal with difficult emotions. Dominique is empathetic, kind, wise, and connects deeply with my daughter, I am very grateful for her continued presence in our lives!

2. Be The Change Coaching SA

Website: https://www.bethechangecoaching.co.za/

Address: 41 Pretoria St, Oaklands

Contact: [email protected] / +27 67 903 0070

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Saturday, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Finding a healthy work-life balance is tough. Be The Change Coaching SA uses a systemic approach that examines your relationships and workplace environment to help you make realistic daily changes. 

They guide you toward building personal agency instead of just pushing toxic positivity. We actually tried a quick introductory session with them last year, and their direct feedback gave us a lot of clarity on setting boundaries.

Plus, they offer empowerment coaching to help you find your voice and navigate tricky communication patterns. You can also book couples coaching to untangle messy relationship expectations. 

However, they require strict appointments and close early on Saturdays, so you might just use your free time to enjoy the best weekend getaways in Johannesburg instead.

Holds a safe space for anyone needing one

Leigh-Anne has been a phenomenal ongoing coach not only in Recovery and Substance Abuse situations, but Life, Love, and Everything Else. She is pragmatic and logical and will always seek to challenge your thoughts and beliefs to help you unlock your own potential. She helps you find the answers you know you need for yourself, and gives you the tools you need to unlock them. She is available both online and in person. She is, and holds, a safe space for anyone needing one.

She’s completely changed my life for the better

Leigh-ann is amazing!

She’s completely changed my life for the better.

Couldn’t ask for a better person for advice. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, caring and understanding.

Best program I have ever attended in my 11 years of trying.

3. The life change room

Website: http://thelifechangeroom.com/

Address: 3rd Ave, Parktown North

Contact: [email protected] / +27 82 891 6246

Hours: Monday-Saturday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM 

High-achieving professionals often struggle quietly with burnout and overthinking. The Life Change Room targets these exact emotional roots using their structured method tailored specifically for executives. 

They aim to fix hollow wins and deep disconnects rather than just throwing surface-level productivity hacks at you. You even get a free initial consultation to ensure their style feels safe and comfortable for your needs.

Their main program typically spans two to three months and includes 16 hours of private sessions. Even better, they offer flexible payment plans, which helps manage the substantial financial investment required. 

Sadly, they explicitly turn away anyone looking for a quick fix or casual advice, so they’re a bad fit if you refuse to do deep inner work.

4. Blue Sky Coaching

Website: https://blueskycoaching.co.za/

Address: 43 Eastwood Rd, Dunkeld

Contact: [email protected] / +27 82 325 6613

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Corporate teams often deal with poor communication and a lack of accountability, and that’s where Blue Sky Coaching steps in. 

They use the Enneagram framework to help teams understand different personality types and what triggers certain reactions at work. 

Their dedicated workshops are hands-on; we’ve heard from clients that these really help calm workplace conflict and improve leadership skills. If your team needs a full reset, you can sign up for their six-week program to get everyone working together smoothly.

You can also book personalized sessions to make sense of your feedback reports and spot areas for personal growth. 

But keep in mind that they’re all about the corporate world, so they’re not a great pick if you need help with personal life changes, like recovery support. They’re also closed on weekends.

5. Self Insights

Website: https://www.selfinsights.co.za/

Address: Rene Place St, Glen Athol

Contact: [email protected] / 083 770 1434

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM 

Taking on a leadership role isn’t easy; it takes real self-awareness and emotional strength. Self Insights helps women build both of these, guiding female leaders through personal growth with their deep talent management know-how. 

We’ve spoken with clients who found their Emotional Intelligence workshops truly eye-opening. Many said it helped them handle tough work situations while staying true to themselves. 

You can join these programs online or in person, and choose a journey that lasts three to six months. They also offer group coaching circles just for women in junior to middle management. 

However, since they focus only on female leaders, men won’t find the right fit here. 

And if you’re just looking for a one-time session, their longer programs might not suit your schedule.

After a few sessions I fully understood myself

I had the privilege of working with Self insights and it was at a time where I was in a massive transition and needed help to clarify things in my life. What I experienced was more than I expected, after a few sessions I fully understood myself as well as the path that I should take. Her powerful way of listening and asking questions that I never thought of was simply incredible. I feel more grounded and clear about my life all because of the beautiful kind guidance that I received from Nokubonga. I would highly recommend her anyday!!!!!

Helped me really find strategies that empowered me

Nokubonga journeyed with me during a tough personal time as coach and helped me really find strategies that empowered me to hold the different tensions in life, wear my different hats and find build my business.

I enjoy how she is able to hold a mirror before and individual and help one acknowledge the state of things and empower one with tools to start building towards the change desired. I was surprised by the simple things uncovered and the deep impact better self awareness bought to my journey. Thank you for sharing for gift with me.
