Feminist Life Coach and Organisational Process Facilitator

1-on-1 Coaching
Organisational process work
What you can expect working with me
I love what I do. I am passionate about unleashing the power and potential in myself and others.
My coaching, and leadership and organisational development, reflect my greatest passions – contributing to a just world and accompanying people on their journeys towards fulfilment. I draw on my own extensive experiences in social justice, leadership development, activism, social entrepreneurship, women’s rights and youth development.
I am curious about what it means to be in this world and how we can connect to a deep inner calling to live our lives with intention and achieve change, not only for the world but for ourselves. As I journey through life figuring this out, I am deeply guided by my politics of equity and justice, and my desire for personal joy, fulfilment and freedom. In other words, I believe we can have it all!
Working with me will help you achieve personal transformation, a new sense of wellbeing, and a plan to realise your goals.
Personal transformation and wellbeing
My coaching is grounded in understanding context and the systems that affect us. It is an accompanied intimate journey with you.
Unlock your inner wisdom.
Learn to trust yourself.
Leadership development
My work in leadership development supports you to lead from the inside out.
Surface your leadership beliefs and behaviours.
Develop skills and tools for social justice leadership.
Organisational process work
My work with organisations involves exploring, designing and facilitating conversations that support organisations to become caring and just. Some of this work includes:
Courageous conversations.
Building collective trust.
Team building and strengthening.
Strategy development and learning.
Resources for you
The social justice approach I follow provides a holistic coaching model that examines our complex realities and then taps into our resourcefulness in ways that can effect small (and sometimes big) changes-for-good internally and in the systems we experience. Each month we look at a different theme to explore together, and share thoughts and resources to help us stay grounded in purpose and intentional in our activism.
What does it mean that billionaires are treated as the ultimate success story, when almost none of us will ever be one? 🤔
In the latest edition of Postscripts, my monthly newsletter, Lorelle Bell unpacked China’s complex reality: attempts to close the wealth funnel, while citizens enjoy increased standards of living while still navigating restrictions on political freedoms, surveillance and labour rights.
It got me thinking about the narratives we’re raised on. 3,428 billionaires now hold $20 trillion between them. And yet, we’re told that extreme individual wealth is the goal. This raises all sorts of questions for me. What about you? Let’s chat on social media.

Feedback from the African Feminist Forum: The 5th African Feminist Forum in Namibia offered more than a moment of reflection. It created space to pause, listen and ask what feminist organising requires of us now—and what it might make possible in the years ahead.
Across the many conversations, one message came through clearly: African feminist movements are navigating an increasingly difficult political, economic and social landscape, but they are not without vision, courage or possibility. The challenge is to move beyond survival alone—to build movements that are politically powerful, economically resilient, culturally rooted and capable of creating the futures they seek.
Navigating rage: Moving from powerless to powerful
I wrote my latest blogpost as a way to hold my own sacred rage, to find ways to honour this righteous emotion that has much to teach me. And here I am sharing some of those learnings with you. Read more
Over the years, I’ve written a few companions for this journey, books that were created from my own unlearning, walking alongside activists and leaders doing transformational work. If you’re looking for something to sit with, here’s what awaits you.
Each one meets you somewhere different, depending where you are in your own becoming.
Take a Leap and Rewrite Your Future
I’ve talked about my eBook as a practical guide to career transitions, but what I think works really well is that the eBook starts with where you are at this moment in your life – potentially feeling overwhelemed at work, feeling a bit stuck perhaps. The very first chapter in the eBook looks at how to know if you’re ready for a career transition, and from there the rest of the eBook works alongside you as you discover where you’re at.
