Mr Rikus Woest

Registered Counselor

“Specialising in Christian counselling and life coaching to teenagers.”

About Me

Navigating adolescence can bring unique challenges. I offer Christian Counseling and life coaching, supporting teenagers to explore their values and build inner strength. We can work together to set achievable goals and develop practical tools for daily life. This blend of faith-based guidance and practical strategies helps young people thrive. It's ideal for those seeking confidence in school, relationships, and personal growth.

Approach

When we begin work together I focus on how faith and everyday choices connect, helping teens translate beliefs into steady habits and clearer decisions. In my Alberton office I work in Afrikaans and English, keeping sessions practical and conversational so we can uncover patterns, assess learning or emotional needs, and try small experiments between meetings. I use gentle assessments and collaborative planning to track progress and adjust steps as we go. This approach tends to suit teens seeking grounded, faith-informed support for school, friendships and family life.
