For professional coaches
Everything your coaching practice runs on, in one place.
Client records, session history, psychometric profiles, an AI-assisted resource library, scheduling and VAT-ready invoicing — plus a private portal for every client. Stop stitching a practice together out of a diary, a drive folder and a spreadsheet.
No card required. R549 per month after the trial. Cancel any time.
Who it’s for
One practice, whatever kind of coaching you do
The subject changes; the shape of the work does not. A person, a relationship built on trust, resources that open a conversation, and a history worth keeping. Coaching Workbench is built around that — not around one niche.
What it does
Built around how coaching actually works
Not a CRM with “coach” written on it. Every part of this was built for the specific job of taking someone from where they are to where they want to be.
One record per person — and it fills itself in
The client record is the spine of the practice — the screen above. Everything you send, everything that comes back, and everything you learn lands on one dated timeline, so you walk into a session already knowing where you left off.
- Sessions, resources, results and messages on a single history
- Session notes that stay private to you unless you choose to share them
- Coach couples, teams and groups assembled from the same records
- Import an existing client list from a spreadsheet
Psychometrix — profiles, and what they mean together
Instruments that were once the preserve of psychologists, captured properly and read back as interpretation rather than a score. The point is never the four-letter code; it is the conversation the result makes possible.
- DISC, MBTI, the Enneagram, Belbin, Big Five and more
- Captured as scores, types or strengths, and drawn as profiles
- A whole team read across one report, not five reports side by side
- Results file onto the client record, so the history keeps them in context
A private portal every client will actually open
No account to create, no password to forget, nothing to install. Each client gets a private link they bookmark — and because most of them open it on a phone between meetings, that is what it was designed for.
- They see only their own material, and only what you have shared
- Questionnaires answered straight in the browser
- Their results and resources, available whenever they want them
- They can message you back without email
Your resources, built with you rather than for you
Good coaches build their own resources, because they understand what their clients need. The library helps you draft — a debrief off an assessment result, a questionnaire, a set of coaching questions — and then you edit it into your own voice.
- Questionnaires, question sets, documents, debriefs and topics — all first-class
- AI assistance drafts the first version; the judgement stays yours
- String resources into multi-session processes that run over weeks
- Reuse across every client, or tailor per person
Scheduling
Sessions with Google Calendar sync and WhatsApp reminders, so the diary and the practice are the same thing rather than two things you keep in step by hand.
Invoicing
VAT-ready invoices, combined billing for a company paying for several people, and a PDF in one click.
How it works
Running in an afternoon
There is no implementation project. Add your clients, send the first thing, and the history starts building itself.
Sign up
Full access for 14 days, no card. Import your existing client list from a spreadsheet, or add people one at a time.
Send something
A questionnaire, an assessment debrief, a document. Each client gets a private portal link — nothing for them to install or sign up for.
Coach, and get paid
Their answers, your notes and every result land on one timeline. Schedule the next session and invoice from the same place.

Coaching is a mutually chosen helping relationship between a coach and a client where the discovery, embrace, and celebration of identity is facilitated with meaningful conversations and the use of people-development resources. — the definition this software is built to serve
Coaching Workbench started as the tool I wanted for my own practice. Instruments like DISC, MBTI and the Enneagram were for a long time used mainly by psychologists; the software around them was built for assessment houses, not for the coach sitting in the room with somebody.
So this is deliberately not a measurement platform. A result is worth something because of the feedback conversation it makes possible — which is why every profile here is built to be interpreted and discussed, never handed over as a bare score. The same conviction is why your clients get a portal instead of a PDF attachment, and why the resource library helps you write your own material rather than handing you somebody else's.
It is developed and supported from Pretoria, and if you email support you are emailing me.
Local by design
Built for South African practice
Most practice software is built for somewhere else and priced in a currency you do not earn in. This one assumes you are running a practice here.
Priced and billed in Rand
R549 a month, in ZAR. No exchange-rate surprises and no foreign-transaction fees on your card.
Paid through Paystack

POPIA taken seriously
Coaching records are special personal information. Each coach's data is separated at the database level, and you can export or delete it on request.

Questions
Common questions
How does the free trial work?
Sign up and you get full access for 14 days without entering a card. If it suits you, subscribe from inside the app. If it doesn’t, the account simply pauses at the end of the trial and you are never charged.
What does it cost, and in what currency?
R549 per month, billed in South African Rand (ZAR). Dust consulting CC is not a registered VAT vendor, so no VAT is added and none is shown on your receipt. There is one plan and it includes everything listed above — no per-client pricing and no paid add-ons.
How do I pay, and can I cancel?
Subscriptions are billed monthly by card through Paystack, our payment provider. We never see or store your card details. You can cancel at any time from inside the app; access continues to the end of the month you have paid for. See our refund and cancellation policy.
Is this only for a particular kind of coach?
No. It is used the same way whether you do life, executive, leadership, team, business, relationship, career or performance coaching. What changes between them is the material you work with — and since you build your own resources and choose your own instruments, the app adapts to your practice rather than the other way round. Coaches who work with individuals and coaches who work with whole teams both get what they need, because groups are assembled from the same client records.
Do my clients need an account?
No. Each client gets a private portal link they can bookmark — no sign-up, no password. They see only their own material, and only what you have chosen to share.
Who can see my clients’ information?
Only you. Every coach’s data is separated at the database level, so one coach can never see another’s clients. Session notes and anything you write about a client are private to you unless you explicitly share them. See our privacy policy.
Are the screenshots on this site real clients?
No. Every client, result and invoice shown on this site is fabricated sample data, created specifically for the website. No real client’s information appears anywhere in our marketing, and it never will — coaching records are confidential, and under POPIA they are special personal information.
Who builds Coaching Workbench?
Nico Liebenberg, a leadership and life coach with a master’s degree in Psychology, practising in Pretoria, through Dust consulting CC (registration number 2009/065617/23). It began as the software he wanted for his own practice. Support emails reach him directly. More about the thinking behind it.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. Reports and resources download as PDF or HTML, invoices as PDF, and you can request a full export of your account’s data at any time by emailing us.
