Unfortunately, life doesn't come with an instruction manual. And, being a parent, partner,
friend, employee, or a CEO doesn’t always mean that you automatically or instinctively
know what to do when trying to connect with those around you.
​
I’m Karen Badenhorst, an internationally certified parenting and personal and professional development trainer, and I can help you optimise your practical communication skills.
​
I offer the following courses:
 

• ​Leader Effectiveness Training

• Be Your Best - Personal and Professional Training (B.Y.B.)

• Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.)

• Teacher Effectiveness Training (T.E.T.)

• Youth Effectiveness Training (Y.E.T.)

All designed by Gordon Training International.

 

I am the owner of a private social work practice in Cape Town, where I provide counselling
and psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and parents. My work focuses on strengthening
relationships, improving communication, supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing, and equipping families with practical, evidence-based skills to navigate life's challenges.

I'm also an event speaker; specialising in topics about relationships, employee- wellness,
mental health and leadership.
