Melanie du Preez

Life Transformation Coach

I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Life Transformation Coach specializing in NLP, Negative Emotional Therapy, and Mental Health Coaching. I work with people who are ready to break through old patterns and create real change. My approach combines psychological expertise with practical coaching tools to help you get unstuck and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Who I Work With

I work with people who are tired of feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t serving them anymore. My clients are ready to do the work required for real transformation, not just surface-level change. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, limiting beliefs, relationship patterns, or feeling disconnected from who you really are, I bring both psychological understanding and practical coaching tools to help you move forward.

My Approach

I combine my training as a Clinical Psychologist with Life Transformation Coaching methodologies including NLP, Negative Emotional Therapy, and Mental Health Coaching. This dual approach means we can work at both the surface level and the deeper psychological level where lasting change happens.
I don’t believe in endless sessions where we just talk about problems. My approach is structured and outcome-focused. We identify what’s holding you back, clear the emotional weight attached to those patterns, and install new ways of thinking and being that actually stick.

What Makes My Work Different

Most coaches either go too surface-level or too deep into therapy territory. I sit in the middle. My psychological training means I understand trauma, mental health, and how the mind works. My coaching training means I know how to help you take that understanding and turn it into concrete action and results.

I use specific techniques from the Life Transformation Coaching System including timeline therapy, belief restructuring, and subconscious reprogramming. These aren’t just buzzwords – they’re proven methods that create measurable shifts in how you think, feel, and show up in your life.

My Background

After qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist, I recognized that traditional therapy approaches, while valuable, didn’t always give people the tools they needed for lasting transformation. I trained with Transformation Coaching Academy under International Accredited Master Life Coach Trainer Burk Esterhuyse, completing certifications as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Life Transformation Coach, Negative Emotional Therapy Practitioner, Mental Health Coach, and Emotional Wellbeing Coach.

This combination allows me to work with the full spectrum – from people who need psychological support to those who are ready to optimize their performance and create breakthrough results in their lives.

What You Can Expect

Sessions with me are direct, practical, and focused on results. I’ll challenge you when needed and support you when things get difficult. We’ll work together to identify the root causes of what’s keeping you stuck, clear the emotional charge around past experiences, and create new neural pathways that support the life you actually want to live.

I work both in-person and online throughout South Africa and internationally. Sessions are structured around your specific goals, and we measure progress along the way.

Areas of Focus

• Breaking limiting belief patterns
• Anxiety and stress management
• Overcoming past trauma and negative emotions
• Personal and professional transformation
• Relationship patterns and communication
• Goal achievement and performance optimization
• Building authentic confidence and self-worth

If you’re ready to stop talking about change and actually create it, let’s work together.
