About Us

At CPIOP, we believe that people are the heart of every successful organisation and every fulfilled life. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help individuals, teams, and businesses grow, thrive, and stay well, even in the face of pressure, complexity, or trauma.

 

Our journey began in 2014, when Christi Pieterse, a registered Industrial Psychologist with years of experience in both the public and private sectors, including a significant tenure at Anglo American, launched CLR Consult. Driven by a passion for people, performance, and purpose, Christi envisioned a consulting practice rooted in faith, ethics, and evidence-based psychology.

 

In 2019, after personally experiencing burnout in the corporate world, Christi founded Raviver -  a sister company dedicated to helping individuals and organisations navigate the complexity of burnout, mental wellness, and workplace recovery. What started as a response to one personal challenge has grown into a national beacon of hope and healing.

 

From courtrooms to boardrooms, from career coaching to CPD-accredited leadership development, our services span:

• Corporate Training & CPD-Accredited Programs: Leadership development, soft-skills training, burnout education, ethics, organisational wellness, and more.
• Industrial Psychology Consulting: Strategic support in HR, organisational design, change management, performance, and talent development.
• Career Guidance & Coaching: Helping individuals make informed, empowered decisions at any life stage.
• Individual Counselling and Coaching: Short- and long-term support for professionals, leaders, and employees.
• Medico-Legal / Psycho-Legal Services: Expert assessments for Road Accident Fund (RAF), personal injury, medical negligence, and employment-related matters.
• Wellness Retreats and Burnout Recovery Programs: Tailored solutions through Raviver, designed to restore vitality, resilience, and mental clarity.

 

Our clients include law firms, government departments, corporates, SMEs, schools, health professionals, HR teams, and individuals across South Africa and beyond. We proudly serve in all jurisdictions, and our Industrial Psychologists are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the South African Medico-Legal Society bodies.

 

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We believe in listening deeply, designing solutions that fit your context, and delivering with excellence, compassion, and integrity. All our interventions are practical, sustainable, and tailored to support your unique goals, culture, and budget.

 

We are a faith-driven organisation built on the principles of:

• F – Faith in God, our work, and our clients

• I – Integrity in every action and relationship

• R – Respect for all people and perspectives
• S – Sensitivity to the needs of others
• T – Trust, earned and honoured

These values are more than words - they guide every decision we make.

 

We’re not just service providers. We are strategic partners, careful listeners, expert witnesses, and healers of systems and people. Whether you're an organisation seeking clarity and direction or an individual in need of support, we’re here to help you move forward.
