I believe in turning the impossible into possible - because as Nelson Mandela said, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
I’m Gerda Evans
Life Coach • Therapist • Mediator
I’m passionate about helping individuals and families find clarity, healing, and lasting personal growth. Drawing on a diverse professional background and a deeply human-centered approach, I offer guidance through life’s challenges – whether you’re navigating relationship dynamics, personal struggles, or seeking to unlock your full potential.
With a BCom in Economics and Marketing from the University of Pretoria and over 15 years of experience as a diplomat with South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), I’ve worked across cultures and continents, engaging in high-stakes negotiations that shaped my understanding of people, communication, and resilience.
Today, I channel that experience into my practice as a qualified life coach, trauma counsellor, and accredited mediator. My training includes Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Multi-Level Neuro Processing (MLNP), and conflict resolution, allowing me to offer a holistic and results-driven approach to personal development.
As a certified trainer with the Gordon Institute’s Parent Education and Be Your Best Communication Programmes, I also specialise in empowering couples and families to build healthier, more connected relationships.
If you’re ready to move forward with confidence, I’m here to walk alongside you – providing a supportive, non-judgmental space where meaningful transformation begins.
As a certified practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Multi-Level Neuro Processing (MLNP), I support individuals and couples in achieving meaningful personal and relationship goals. With specialised training in mediation, divorce, and family conflict through the Social Justice Foundation, I bring clarity and compassion to even the most emotionally complex situations.
With many years of experience in coaching, counselling, and therapy, I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can speak freely, reflect deeply, and begin to reconnect with the goals and dreams that matter to you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating change, or simply unsure of your next steps, I’m here to help you make sense of where you are – and where you’d like to go. Together, we’ll explore your aspirations, your concerns, and the patterns that may be holding you back.
With additional qualifications in trauma counselling, I also offer a compassionate space to gently unpack and process past experiences. Healing isn’t about rushing – it’s about creating the right environment to move forward with clarity, resilience, and renewed purpose.
My approach is holistic and deeply personalized, shaped by years of working with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. I believe that each journey is unique, and I’m here to help you tap into your inner strengths, build emotional resilience, and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Together, we’ll navigate past wounds, overcome current challenges, and chart a path toward the balanced, meaningful life you envision.
