Meet Kate Kleynhans

Organisational Psychologist & Founder of Growthfully

Support for growth minded professionals and businesses, who want to be intentional about their everyday lived experiences at work

About me

Hi, I'm Kate Kleynhans. A registered Industrial and Organisational Psychologist, I'm passionate about helping to shape workplaces into spaces where people and performance can thrive together.

I have spent the last decade partnering with organisations across a wide range of people practices, designing and delivering initiatives that shape culture, build leadership capability, and strengthen employee experience.

Over 10 years of working with diverse teams and leaders across various industries, I've developed an approach that combines rigorous evidence-based psychological principles with practical, implementable strategies. My work focuses on creating sustainable change that benefits both people and business outcomes - because I firmly believe that where people thrive, business grows.

At the heart of my approach is a simple truth: when businesses intentionally craft a culture that supports both professional and personal growth, they unlock stronger performance, deeper engagement, and sustainable business success. That kind of growth doesn't stop at the office door; it creates a ripple effect that strengthens relationships, families, and communities, and it is a catalyst for change across our nation.

My Approach

  • Psychological safety enables authentic communication and innovation
  • Evidence-based interventions drive measurable results
  • People feel valued, empowered, and connected to purpose

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
— Viktor Frankl

This profound insight from Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl forms the foundation of my approach to organisational development.

In every workplace challenge, every leadership decision, every team interaction, there exists that precious space of choice. My work is about helping individuals and organisations recognise, expand, and use that space wisely.
