Fall in love with Coaching again!
A 6-week Refresher course to help you Rekindle your coaching skills!
Do you dream of having a Thriving Coaching Business?
Is your business suffering because you lack coaching confidence? More business training is not always the solution: connecting with other coaches and reflecting on your coaching practice can help you build back your coaching confidence and fall in love with coaching again. Join the 6-week small group Coaching Refresher with Coaching Psychologist Elrika to connect with fellow coaches and reflect on the Coaching side of your business.
But right now, your reality might feel very different…
Training as a coach is a big investment, and you might feel guilty for not always loving it!
- Coaching can feel lonely and isolating.
- Without support, it can undermine your confidence.
- Without regular reflection practice and opportunities to connect with colleagues, the enthusiasm you once had for coaching can fade, leaving you feeling disconnected and unsupported.
Fall in love with Coaching again!
You want a thriving coaching practice where you feel connected, supported, and confident. Your dream is to rekindle your love for coaching, finding joy and fulfilment in helping others while maintaining a balanced and satisfying personal life.
What if …

… you could belong to a community of like-minded coaches who also care deeply for their clients and want to work to benefit their clients while still making money?
… you CAN have the thriving coaching business you dreamed of, bringing value to clients’ lives without sacrificing your own.

Who am I?
My name is Elrika Erasmus, and I am a Practitioner Counselling Psychologist (HCPC, BPS) and Coaching Psychologist. I am nearing the completion of my doctoral research on Playfulness in Coaching Psychology Supervision and will graduate in the summer of 2024.
Like many women, I balance running my coaching consultancy with a busy family life, which includes two teenagers and a travelling husband. I firmly believe in the Ubuntu philosophy: I am because We are. As people supporters, we need to support each other to effectively support our clients.
I have been seeing patients and clients since 2001, starting as a student in a children’s cancer ward in South Africa. Since then, I have achieved three first-class degrees, including a master’s in Psychology, and have worked in diverse settings and countries. This includes a decade at a private mental health hospital in London and eight years at Cambridge University.
I have coached a wide range of individuals, from C-suite investment bankers to church youth workers, and have enjoyed providing leadership training using Lego Serious Play.

FAQ’s:
Q: Can I bring client cases for discussions to the group?
A: Absolutely! All group members will be encouraged to bring at least one case for discussion per group session – but it is not mandatory!
Q: I am not coaching full-time. Is this programme still for me?
A: Yes, the benefits of connection, reflection, and learning are not determined by the size of your practice. Even coaches with only one client will benefit from thinking about how they are as coaches to their clients and in their business.
Q: Will this group lead to a qualification or a registration?
A: No – this group is for your own Continuous Professional Development and will not lead to registration or accreditation with professional bodies.
Q: I am neurodiverse, and I work with neurodiverse clients. Is this course still suitable for me?
A: Yes. The course facilitator, Elrika Erasmus, is a practitioner psychologist with many years of experience working with a varied client group in coaching and counselling capacities and will provide a safe space for our reflections and concerns. Elrika is also qualified to point out if a challenge is beyond the scope of coaching and will help you find the right resources for support.
Q: Can you really help me fall in love with coaching in six weeks?
A: As a coach, you will know I can’t make you do anything, but I can certainly provide a space for reflection and tools to help you get closer to your goals again.
Q: What happens if I can’t attend all 6 sessions? Will it be recorded?
A: The topic-discussion part of the sessions will be recorded with the permission of everyone attending. Once we are finished with the general discussion and move on to the coaching case discussion, the recording will be switched off to protect and respect the privacy of our coaching clients.
Q: I am still not sure – can I chat with someone to understand even more?
