Hi, I’m Adri.
Integral coach, previously Occupational Therapist and management consultant (practicing under Grobler).
I love supporting people who actively want to grow and discover or rediscover themselves; improve their relationships; and deepen their contribution, meaning and purpose.
I help people with the stress, burnout and anxiety so often associated with change, crises and complexity. I can help you discover and shift self-defeating patterns, establish healthy boundaries, navigate change and deepen leadership skills. I can help you respond to the complexities of life with more authenticity and creativity.
I find my coaching work incredibly meaningful and am deeply grateful to be a considered partner in the lives of my clients, who in turn find themselves increasingly able to make their own powerful contribution to the world in various contexts including but not limited to work.
Looking forward to meeting you!
My mission
I genuinely long to see the world healed, and my contribution to this is through transformative one-on-one life coaching which often means walking with someone through darkness until they see their own light.
I am passionate about working across cultural and other divides. I coach people from a range of backgrounds and professions, in English and Afrikaans. I frequently work in the mental health space (in a multidisciplinary team where needed), and have a special interest in trauma. I am an ICF accredited coach.
I am a Certified Integral Coach (PCC) through the Center for Coaching at the UCT Graduate School of Business and New Ventures West. Integral Coaching is both highly imaginative and deeply practical. “Integral Coaching® works in DEEPLY PRACTICAL WAYS so that who people are gets true expression in how they live.” – Center for Coaching
I have been a serious scholar of the Enneagram for more than a decade, am Enneagram certified (level 1) through Aephoria Partners, and also completed a six month Enneagram and Trauma course – an advanced course for therapists, coaches and facilitators through Takdir Transformation, Both are IEA accredited Enneagram schools and courses.
My training and previous work as Occupational Therapist enhances my ability to see and work with people in a multifaceted way, appreciate the sensory experience, and collaboratively design coaching programs. This is supplemented by my MBA and corporate experience as a management consultant, creating a unique blend of skills.
However, at the end of the day I feel that my contribution as a coach has a lot to do with my own personal journey, my courage and compassion to be with people in deep places – to explore together what it is to be human. To be in life and with life. We create a safe space of mutual trust, respect and openness that enables you to identify and deeply explore issues that you may currently be stuck with. This is balanced by my innate practicality, grounded assessments and ability to create and select tools you can use to move forward.
I live in Cape Town with my husband, son and dog. My mother is Afrikaans, my dad is Dutch. My father in law was Jewish, my mother in law is French. Our son identifies as English, bless him.
I love nature and gardening, keep tropical fish, am a voracious reader, and value meaningful connection and my spiritual practices.
I am not perfect and I don’t expect you to be. Let’s get real rather.
