Therapy for Stress, Trauma, Personal Growth,Deep Healing and Self Expression
Life can feel overwhelming at times — whether from stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, trauma, or just trying to navigate life's changes and your dreams.
Old coping mechanisms stop working, life changes, and dreams come knowing at your door.
If you’ve tried to do it on your own and it hasn’t worked, therapy offers you the space and tools to create lasting change, and expansion.
I am Farhana Goga, a registered psychologist based in Rosebank, Johannesburg. I work with individuals, couples, and professionals who are ready to go beyond surface-level fixes and commit to deeper, medium- to long-term work.

Couples Therapy in Jhb, and Online
Relationships can be a source of support and joy — or of pain and disconnection. When a partnership is strained, surface-level advice rarely helps. Couples therapy with me is structured, in-depth, and designed for lasting change
Couples come to see me when:
They desire more connection
They want to strengthen their relationship
They feel disconnection and desire more intimacy
They have transition challenges (new baby, blended families, relocation, career pressure)
Decision clarity (whether to stay, leave, or separate with care)
They want to deepen their understanding of each other
How I work with couples
Intake process: one joint session, one individual session with each partner, then a joint feedback session to map the way forward
Relational intelligence (the actual work): drawing on Gottman, EFT, Encounter-Centered Couples Transformation, and systemic work
Focus on nervous-system safety: slowing reactive cycles so repair and reconnection are possible
Depth and commitment: therapy designed to shift patterns, not apply quick fixes
Couples therapy options & fees

🔍 My therapy approach: Brain-Based, Heart-Science, Trauma-Informed Therapy & Coaching
I offer a grounded, neuroscience-based approach that blends subconscious reconditioning, emotional healing, and practical insight.
Many of my clients have tried short-term coaching or quick-fix therapy. What they want — and what I offer — is something more profound, medium to long term deep, effective meaningful transformation.
In our work together, you can expect:
-
Confidential support in a safe, non-judgmental environment, focused on deep healing, transformation and expansion
-
Depth and neuroscience to shift patterns at their root
-
Personalised therapy adapted to your needs and goals
-
Commitment to change, with medium- to long-term support for lasting results
This is not about “pushing through.” It’s about creating automatic shifts in how you respond — so clarity, confidence, and ease become your natural state.

My clients are often:
-
Professionals and leaders under high pressure, who want to live impactful, effectively and be fulfilled in all areas of life

What Others Say:
Justine
Working with Farhana has been the most effective work I have done in over 10 YEARS. I feel I have healed some profound personal issues and deep blocks. The techniques she uses are really geared toward personal change which then catapults you forward, both your personal and business life. I would not be where I am today without the work we have done together in a year. I am deeply grateful for the space she provides and what we created together. I feel grounded and free in my life, and clear about my business. We worked on family issues; relationship break-up and being ready; money; masculine/feminine and business expansion.
Client - working through burnout
Thank you again for the work we have done this year. I deeply feel that it has made a difference, and I am so grateful for the changes that I am starting to experience in my life. I've needed this for a long time and so grateful for the ways you have supported me and shifted things for me.
FAQ
What to Expect
Starting therapy can feel like a really big step. And even if you are in therapy for a while, it can get really hard.
So, here are some words of encouragement.
This is an individual journey, and feeling cautious and unsure is perfectly normal and natural.
Sessions are tailored to your needs, and I use talk therapy and brain-based techniques, focusing on creating real shifts.
Be open to the process, it is a space to reflect, explore, pause, expand, and it can take a while. Be open to what arises, the insights, emotions, reflections.
Take the time to build the relationship with your therapist, me.
Set some goals and expectations, make them realistic and know they will take some time. While my processes are quick, you are also nuanced, and life happens.
Therapy may feel tough at times, and thats OK! Growth comes in waves.
Commit to yourself, give yourself the time, money and space to make the shifts you desire, I am here to support you.
The process is:
* getting to know you and defining our goals stage (this can take anywhere between 3 sessions or months, depending on what you are ready for). In the first session we will also spend time talking admin and discussing if we are a good fit - either one of us can decide we are not.
* doing the work (duration: how long is a piece of string)
* closure and/or re-contracting for new goals if we feel aligned that there is a good fit the for the new goals/life experience.
Business owners, I have 1-1 packages starting at R30 000 which allows you to heal, grow and thrive personally and for you business. I do keep my boundaries very clear about what I will do in therapy if you are a business owner. The deepest work is through The School of Expansion.
A note for Muslim Clients:
- If you are looking for a muslim therapist, I am not for you. I am agnostic and woo, and not muslim.
Couples Therapy Options
I have a few options available for couples therapy.
The Gold Standard is my 2 day Process. And its incredible to start her. Connection is key to a lasting fulfiling relationship, and the foundation to addressing any issues that you may encounter. This is R20 000 and includes a report. From here you can then opt for the 100 min sessions for maintenance or to address the niggles.
There is also the bi-monthly 100 minute sessions (R3200), we first do the intake sessions.I only take on 5 couples at a time, so run a waitlist.
We start with a joint session of 50 minutes; an individual session each, and then another joint session before we proceed. This is designed in a particular way, so please try not to deviate from this order.
Please note once we have done the intake process I will recommend which option is best, you may be placed on a waitlist.
Cost of Individual Sessions etc
My sessions are R1600/50 minutes if you have at least 2 sessions a month. If its once month it is R1800.
Weekly sessions are advised.
I do NOT work with medical aid.
You would need to pay upfront - EFT before each session, and you can then claim back from medical aid.
We will discuss this in the first session/phase
I do not work with:
- Abusers
- Disciplinary Cases
- Children and Teens
-People who are don't have a growth mindset and don't believe they can change, or who I need to convince to try my methodologies.
- Cases that could end up in court.
