Dit was wonderlik om saam met Ds Frans deur my troma te kon werk na my man se afsterwe. My stem was weg vir amper 6 maande Wat ek nie geweet het Wat om nog te doen nie. Toe het my werkgewer vir my sessies by hom gemaak en Dit was die best ding ooit. Hy het my gehelp om my emosies te identifiseer en te hanteer soos dit kom Wat my baie gehelp het en my stem het begin trug kom. More...

Ds Frans is n professionele figuur op die gebied waarin hy homself bevind. Hy maak moeite wat tyd aanbetref en ook oom jou in sy besige skedule te akkommodeer en in te pas vir afsprake.
Hy onthou en luister en som gesprekke op soos ek nog met geen mens tevore ondervind het nie.
Dankbaar vir die vriendelike ontmoeting, terwyl ek wag by n koffiewinkel vir my man in teater by pasteur oog kliniek wat kortisoon inplanting moes kry. Dit is mos maar nie maklik as jou huweliksmaat se sig besig is om agteruit te gaan nie, en dit alles wat met dit gepaard gaan. Ds Frans het my n besigheidskaartjie gegee, en van Simply Relate vertel.
Ek het die kaartjie gehou en gedink dit kan tog nodig raak. Wel dit het, want ek het n afspraak gemaak toe ons weer vanaf die Kalahari (Noord Kaap) in Bloemfontein kom.
Ek is ewiglik dankbaar oor die afspraak. Ds Frans het aandagtig geluister, raad gegee en al die “tools” wat ek daar kon kry om omstandighede net anders te hanteer, gegee. Hy het ook n gebed vir my gedoen. Hy is uitstekend op sy gebied. En het my heel gemaklik laat voel. Ds Frans het weer agterna gebel om te hoor hoe dit gaan en of daar enige iets is wat ek in geprek wil deel per afspraak op n makliker manier, behalwe om Bloemfontein toe te ry, deur moderne tegnologie.
Ek bid Vader se seën toe oor ds Frans en sy werk, mag Hy hom versterk en toerus met alles wat nodig is om met die goeie werk aan te kan gaan en om met elke afspraak sy beste te kan gee, soos ek vertrou alreeds bewys. Ek weet dat Vader hom op n baie spesiale manier in Sy koningkryk gebruik, om mense se lewens aan te raak en hulp te gee sodat innerlik genesing kan plaasvind of andersins n mens te kan leer om dinge net beter te kan hanteer en so hoop en vrede in lewens te gee.

Frans really cares, which I believe is all important, your well-being is as important to him as it is to you. He remains professional throughout and brings clarity to your situation that is extremely difficult for you to see without professional help. He certainly did this for me, I could see and feel the fog lifting from my mind with every session. With Frans' help and direction my life has become much more balanced, focused on what is important and so much calmer. More...

Frans from Simply Relate has a incredible passion for people. With all his knowledge he helped me look beyond current situations and circumstances to see potential and invest time in things that give energy back into my life.
One of the most valuable lessons I have learned during the time we spend together is that I need to be calm to see the complete picture.
I can recommend Frans for the value that he can build into your own life or that of a team. Whether it is for the company or the individual, I am confident that the time you spend with him will have a positive outcome.

Amazing experience- a whole new world
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is witnessing the transformation in people who feel trapped by their emotions. There's nothing quite like seeing the relief wash over them when they realize that they are going to be okay. That sigh of relief is like music to my ears. But what truly fills my heart is guiding them towards discovering their own worth and helping them become the best version of themselves they can be. It's incredibly rewarding to be a part of someone's journey towards healing, growth, and self-discovery.
What inspired you to start your own business?
What inspired me to start my own business was my realization that traditional pastoral work, while helpful, often didn't lead to transformative change in people's lives. Over the years as a pastor, I provided support and guidance, but I noticed that people sometimes became dependent on me for solutions, continually returning with new problems.
With my current approach, I've experienced not only permanent and tangible changes in my own life but also witnessed profound transformations in others in a relatively short period. Everything becomes better—relationships, mindsets, experiences—there's a sense of renewal in their very being. This realization fueled my desire to create a platform where I could offer my unique approach to personal growth and well-being, empowering individuals to experience lasting change and newfound fulfillment in their lives.
Why should our clients choose you?
Choose me as your guide because I offer a non-traditional approach rooted in empathy and understanding.

Life Coach
Are you feeling overwhelmed and burnt out? Do you find yourself questioning your ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others or are you frustrated on feeling stuck?
As a life coach, I understand the unique challenges you face. I've worked with clients who have felt disheartened and ready to give up, burdened by the weight of their responsibilities and feeling inadequate in their ability to effect change.
But there's hope.
I've seen firsthand the transformation that can occur when individuals reconnect with their purpose and passion. One of my clients rediscovered her calling to work with vulnerable children, finding new approaches to her work that reignited her excitement and passion. Another realized that her talents lay elsewhere, and with newfound clarity, she pursued a path aligned with her true passions.
Albert Einstein once said, "You cannot solve a problem with the same mindset that created it." I believe in helping individuals rediscover their potential and approach life with fresh insights and renewed enthusiasm.
If you're ready to break free from the cycle of doubt and rediscover your passion for making a difference, I'm here to support you. Let's embark on this journey together and unlock your full potential.
