About Coach Elize

  • Who am I?

    My name is Elize and I coach teens and tweens to cope with and manage everyday challenges in the transition from childhood to adulthood.
  • How do sessions work?

    I am based in Hillcrest, Durban, but can do online sessions with your child anywhere. I only do online sessions as 1. this takes pressure off a child, making the setting informal and they can do it where they are most relaxed, and 2. you don't have to drive around to have them come in.
  • My Qualifications

    I have a post-grad degree in Clinical Psychology, with 20+ years of adult life experience.
  • My Rates

    Initial 15 minute consults are free. Thereafter, I charge R950 per 50-minute session or save 20% if you take a package of ten 50-minute sessions at R7,600.
  • My Approach

    Although I have a degree in Psychology, I prefer the non-rigid approach of coaching, rather than therapy/counselling. That way, my young clients feel like I am a mentor (rather than a 'doctor'), and I can adapt my coaching style to your individual child's needs.
  • Coaching vs. Counselling

    I prefer coaching young clients. If I do see, however, that there is a need for professional therapy I will advise you (the parent) of this and make suggestions.
