Roxanne Goodchild
Specialist Wellness Counsellor
BSc; BA Hons
ASCHP licence no: SWC21042
While I was always interested in helping people cope better, life took an unexpected turn during my honours degree when I was involved in a serious car accident. Facing enormous physical and emotional challenges, my desire to help others took on an entirely different meaning—I discovered first hand how life can look completely different from what we expected and still be good.
This experience fundamentally shaped my understanding of resilience and healing. After completing my postgraduate studies in applied psychology, I knew I wanted to help others navigate their own unexpected challenges with the same hope I discovered.
Beyond my academic foundation, I've pursued specialized training that directly serves my clients:
Trauma counselling and debriefing through Hospivision and the Traumatic Incident Reduction Association
Practical counselling experience at churches and through 7 Cups of Tea (acclaimed by the Wall Street Journal)
Professional registration with the Association for Supportive Counsellors and Holistic Practitioners (ASCHP)
Ongoing development through yearly Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
I am naturally curious, empathetic, and attentive—qualities that help me provide counselling from a truly holistic perspective. I consider your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness because I believe healing happens when we address the whole person.
In our sessions, you'll find:
A safe space to discuss and process whatever you're facing
Practical tools for emotional regulation and stress management
Clear strategies that create real, lasting change
Compassionate support as you journey toward wholeness
I value the privilege of assisting individuals on their unique journeys, regardless of the specific challenges they face. Whether you're:
Feeling overwhelmed by life's demands
Processing difficult emotions or past traumas
Seeking space and perspective to move forward
I'm here to provide the caring presence and practical support you need.
If you're looking for someone who truly understands that healing is possible—even in life's most difficult and unexpected moments—I'd be honoured to walk alongside you on this journey.
