INTRODUCTION TO ABOUT MIND
Founded by Daniëlle Malan, About Mind has evolved into a collaborative practice led by Daniëlle and Megan van der Horst — both registered Industrial & Organisational Psychologists, coaches, and assessment specialists based in Cape Town.
At About Mind, we are passionate about supporting both individuals and organisations in their pursuit of growth, thriving, and excellence. We believe that meaningful success is built on self-awareness, psychological well-being, healthy relationships, and intentional development.
Our tailored services include coaching, career counselling, psychometric assessments, career guidance, leadership and team development, workplace well-being initiatives, training programmes, and BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® (BWRT®).
Whether supporting an individual navigating change or partnering with organisations to cultivate healthier, higher-performing workplaces, our approach is thoughtful, evidence-based, and deeply human.
We are committed to creating spaces where people feel empowered to grow, teams are equipped to thrive, and organisations can achieve sustainable excellence.
OUR PURPOSE & PASSION
At About Mind, we partner with individuals and organisations to cultivate growth, resilience, well-being, and meaningful performance. Through evidence-based psychology, coaching, assessment, and development practices, we help people thrive; personally, professionally, and collectively.
Our approach is grounded in five core values:
-
Integrity – We lead with honesty, trust, and ethical practice.
-
Accountability – We take ownership and deliver with intention and care.
-
Passion – We are deeply invested in helping people and organisations thrive.
-
Relevance – We create tailored, meaningful solutions that meet real needs.
-
Professionalism – We uphold excellence in every interaction and service we provide.
We believe that when people are supported well, they perform well,
and when people thrive, organisations do too.
