Trauma-informed coaching, counselling & healing

Heal the inner child, free the grown-up.

For adults, parents and teens who feel stuck, reactive, or tired of repeating the cycles they never chose. Warm, trauma-informed coaching, counselling and gentle healing, with Aneeqah Simons in Grassy Park, Cape Town.

Does any of this feel familiar?

If you're here, something inside is ready to shift.

"You react before you can stop yourself — then carry the guilt afterwards."
"You're parenting in ways you swore you never would."
"You've built the outer success, but something inside still aches."
"You feel stuck, tired of carrying cycles that were never yours to begin with."

You don't have to untangle it alone. That's the work we do together — gently, at your pace.

Meet Aneeqah

Hi, I'm Aneeqah — and I do this work from the inside out.

I work with people who feel stuck, reactive, or disconnected from who they really are. Together we make sense of your triggers, settle your nervous system, and gently loosen the cycles you never chose — so you can show up as who you truly are.

My approach is warm, grounded and trauma-informed, drawing on psychology, somatic practice and heart-based healing — whether we work through coaching, counselling or Reiki.

Aneeqah Simons, founder of Phoenix Evolution Life Academy

"Most of our adult issues are rooted in our childhood. When you heal your inner child, you heal the adult in you."

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Is this coaching or therapy?

Coaching and supportive counselling focus on the present and the way forward — building tools, awareness and resilience. It's not a replacement for clinical therapy or trauma treatment; if that's what's needed, I'll gently point you in the right direction.

What does it cost?

1:1 sessions are R700 per hour, in person in Grassy Park or online. The first 15-minute intro chat is free — a no-pressure space to see if we're a fit.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle energy practice that supports calm, relaxation and nervous-system regulation. It's a complement to your wellbeing, not a medical treatment or cure.

Do you work online or in person?

Both. Sessions are available in person in Grassy Park, or online wherever you are in South Africa.

Do you offer a free first chat?

Yes. It's a no-pressure space to ask questions, tell me a little about what's bringing you here, and see if we're a good fit.
