Miss Roxanne Goodchild

Specialist Wellness Counselor

“A competent and compassionate counsellor with additional training in trauma, Biblical counselling and wellness & wellbeing. I am attentive and empathetic, and counsel holistically with a person-centered approach. www.roxannegoodchild.com”

About Me

I offer a deeply attentive and empathetic space to holistically explore your concerns. Drawing on my training in trauma, wellness, and Biblical Counseling, I help individuals navigate life's challenges. Our person-centred sessions move at your pace, focusing on your unique needs and strengths. I aim to guide you towards greater wellbeing, ensuring you feel truly heard and understood.

Approach

Sessions move with your rhythm, attending to stress, transitions and the quieter questions of faith while staying grounded in practical wellbeing. In English, both face-to-face in South Africa and online, I create a steady, gently structured space where we track patterns, name trauma responses, and try small experiments between meetings to test what brings relief. Therapy blends reflective listening with simple tools and spiritual sensitivity so your values guide choices. This way of working tends to suit young adults and anyone rebuilding after burnout or change.
