How much does coaching cost in South Africa?
Coaching costs in South Africa depend on the coach's credentials, session format, programme length, and whether the work is for an individual or a corporate team. If exact pricing is not published, ask what is included, how outcomes are reviewed, and whether a discovery conversation can confirm fit before commitment.
What affects coaching fees?
The most useful price conversation starts with scope. A once-off clarity session, a multi-session mental fitness programme, and a facilitated leadership intervention carry different levels of preparation, accountability, and follow-up.
- Individual coaching may focus on clarity, confidence, burnout recovery, mental fitness, or decision support.
- Corporate coaching and facilitation usually includes preparation, stakeholder alignment, delivery, and follow-up recommendations.
- Before choosing a coach, ask about credentials, methodology, confidentiality, expected outcomes, and what happens after the first session.
How coaching investment is typically structured
Coaches price their work in different ways. Understanding the structure matters more than chasing a single number, because the format determines what you're actually paying for.
| Format | Typical structure | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single discovery session | One conversation, no ongoing commitment | Testing fit before deciding on a programme |
| Individual coaching package | A set number of sessions over weeks or months, priced as a programme | Clarity, mental fitness, burnout recovery, sustained change |
| Corporate facilitation / team work | Scoped per engagement — preparation, delivery, and follow-up | Teams, leadership groups, organisation-wide interventions |
Have & Share does not publish a fixed price list because individual and corporate fees depend on scope, session count, and format. A discovery conversation gives you an exact figure before you commit to anything.
What tends to push cost up or down
- Up: senior/specialist accreditation (COMENSA, mBIT, PQ), multi-session programmes, corporate scoping and stakeholder work, in-person delivery requiring travel.
- Down: single sessions, online-only delivery, shorter programmes, individual (vs. team) work.
- Neutral: whether you're in Johannesburg or coaching remotely — most individual programmes are priced the same either way.
Common questions
Is the discovery call free?
Yes — the first conversation is a no-obligation discovery call to confirm fit and give you a clear quote before you commit to anything.
Do corporate rates differ from individual coaching?
Yes. Corporate facilitation is scoped per engagement (stakeholder count, preparation, delivery, follow-up), so it's priced separately from individual coaching packages.
Can I pay per session instead of committing to a full package?
This depends on the programme — ask during your discovery call, since some methods (like a PQ mental fitness programme) are structured as a set course rather than standalone sessions.
