Alexandra Goodall

Alexandra Goodall MA, RCC, brings a relational and holistic understanding of the healing process to her sessions. ​ She has worked with groups and individuals for the past 12 years researching the themes of phenomenology and the body. Alexandra has a long history of personal practice in various somatic modalities and therapies, on both sides of the client/therapist relationship. Her approach is grounded, pragmatic, and loving with a healthy respect for both the sacred and the irreverent. For Complex trauma and early attachment work, Alexandra draws on the Hakomi Method, Deep Brain Reorienting, and pre-perinatal attachment therapy, as well as other somatic modalities. For acute trauma, she offers work using Observed Experiential integration (OEI). ****** "I came to this work through my own healing process. The profound experiences I encountered on that journey continue to inform my current work, passions and purpose. As a result of this, I became a dedicated practitioner of meticulous stone-turning. I have explored many therapeutic orientations as both a trainee and client: preverbal and early childhood emotional processing, pre- and perinatal experience, somatic therapy, mindfulness and phenomenology, creative process and poiesis, group fields, trauma in the individual/familial/ancestral/collective, shadow in the personal and collective, eroticism as intrinsic to creativity and wholeness, energy psychology and neurobiological modalities. I draw on all of these areas in my work with clients. As a therapist, I am constantly growing in my own process, with my clients, and from mentorship and training courses. I am a passionate learner, and hold a curiosity and reverence for life that drives my devotion to this work. My path as a ‘seeker’ was set at a young age, yet my hunger to work with others in a therapeutic role didn’t emerge until early adulthood, when I connected with a very essential desire to serve others in this capacity. I was extraordinarily lucky in that I was exposed to leaders in my chosen field relatively early in my journey; they continue to inspire and show me what is possible, and their skill, compassion, creativity and vision has left an indelible imprint on my life. My trajectory in this work has been one that I have undertaken slowly and with great commitment. The unusual and powerful intimacy of the therapeutic ritual allows for a type of transformation that can reroute enormously damaging patterns in a person’s life towards health and vitality. I consider it an honour to be able to connect with and support others in their encounters with the challenging, the ineffable, the ecstatic, as we claim our rightful place in the privilege of fully living." - Alexandra Goodall, May 2025 ****** Alexandra is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.
