Our comprehensive approach addresses critical aspects like stress management and mental well-being, ensuring overall team performance and resilience.
Driven by a passion for team and leadership development, VITACLARIS was founded by Deon van der Merwe and Andi Rootman-Swart. Their combined expertise
in psychology and NLP coaching
forms a unique foundation for
a comprehensive empowerment solution that emphasizes the integration of People, Purpose and Profit.
They named the program
"VitaClaris," derived from the
Latin words "vita" (life) and "claris" (clarity), symbolizing their mission to bring clarity and vitality to leadership and team dynamics, aligning personal growth with business goals.
Our holistic approach integrates leadership development with team cohesion, empowering both leaders and members to drive measurable performance improvements.
Deon van der Merwe, a registered Clinical Psychologist since 1987, brings a wealth of experience in individual and group therapy, hypnotherapy, and addressing a wide range of interpersonal and work-related challenges. His compassionate and authentic approach, combined with his ability to gently challenge individuals, creates a transformative therapeutic environment.
Deon is a firm believer in the unique power of group therapy. Through his extensive experience, he has witnessed firsthand the profound impact that working in a group can have on individuals. Group therapy provides a platform for participants to engage in shared experiences, fostering a sense of unity and mutual support. It allows individuals to see their struggles reflected in others, promoting empathy and understanding, which are often catalysts for personal growth and transformation.
Deon's work with groups underscores the essence of the VitaClaris Team Empowerment Solution. It lies not just in the techniques used, but in understanding, supporting, and connecting with each team member. The focus is on being fully present and fostering genuine relationships that promote collective healing and growth. Through group dynamics, individuals learn to navigate interpersonal challenges, build resilience, and enhance their emotional intelligence—skills that are invaluable in both personal and professional settings.
