Sanctus - Talk about mental health at work

Supporting employees across all stages of their life journey.

Whether it’s a personal or professional challenge, a problem or a goal, 1:1 sessions with a qualified Sanctus Coach offer a confidential space and much needed time out from the day-to-day to reflect, get “unstuck”, work through worries, develop healthier approaches and gain new tools and perspectives that allow us to be the best versions of ourselves – both in and out of the workplace.

Our sessions empower people to proactively work on their mental health and wellbeing and provide them with the support we all need to navigate life’s everyday challenges.

Coaching with heart: Our unique approach

Sanctus Coaching has a unique flavour: straddling the line between therapy and coaching, and offering our clients a safe space to explore their whole selves.

Since we all have days when we drag ourselves out of bed, and other days when we conquer our inbox, our coaches adjust their style to meet people where they are at – whether it’s a more therapeutic, nurturing approach, or a more goal-oriented, coaching approach.

WEBINAR: Supporting employees through change & uncertainty

Hosted by our very own Head Coach Dr, Albert Viljoen and featuring a panel discussion with HR leaders from Reward Gateway and VaynerMedia, this webinar explores the science behind uncertainty, how it’s exacerbated in the post-pandemic workplace and the real-world policies & changes HR leaders can introduce to support employees day-to-day.

Coaching with Impact

We work with thousands of employees every day, supporting them through life’s challenges and guiding them towards a path of greater clarity, resilience and self-fulfillment.

"As always, whatever place you come into a session you always leave clearer. The sessions are invaluable to my life & look forward to them each month."

"Excellent. The session had a huge impact. My confidence, self respect and knowing what I want is all returning. I was a little lost but feeling more like my 'old self' again, which is exactly what I needed."

"It was a very good experience and I appreciate the diversity of topics we can cover based on my needs at the moment of the session. I feel supported and more secure."

"It was a great space to speak openly and honestly and was a great reminder that I'm stronger than I think, even when I think I'm not. "

"My Sanctus coach is a very capable and exceptional coach. I always enjoy and look forward to my sessions with her. "

Sanctus Coaching has a unique flavour: straddling the line between therapy and coaching, and offering our clients a safe space to explore their whole selves.

Coaching is more than a mystical space to feel good. Studies show impact not just in how people feel internally, relate to others and work through difficulty, but even show improvement on practical aspects of life, such as performance and competencies.

We’re proud of the fact that the Sanctus Coaching model and practice was one of the first, structured and regulated coaching models in the world for the workplace setting and today, still one of the most robust.

"Mental health is now a fundamental responsibility for employers, and it’s as much about care and prevention as it is about treatment and reaction. We felt that Sanctus would be a brilliant service to match this responsibility and to help us achieve our vision for employee mental health support."
