About Roxanne
Qualified life coach, counsellor, and NLP practitioner — empowering people to build confidence and create meaningful change.
The Lotus Story
Our story begins with the lotus — one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. Considered sacred in some cultures, the lotus is a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration, and rebirth.
This elegant flower, contrary to its outer beauty, only grows in murky waters. Once it's ready to bloom, it emerges from the depths and opens in the early hours of the morning. Each sunset, the flower closes and submerges itself to rejuvenate — and rises again at sunrise. Reborn every morning.
Just like the lotus, we all experience our own murky waters. But regardless of the challenges we face, we can emerge stronger and ready to create a more meaningful life.
"If we are to grow stronger and wiser every day, we must have the intention to grow as the lotus and rise brighter every day." — Roxanne Bouwer
Meet Roxanne
I'm Roxanne Bouwer, the founder of Life-Therapy. As a qualified life coach, counsellor, and NLP practitioner, I've spent years developing practical, evidence-based approaches that help people transform their lives from the inside out.
My work is rooted in a simple belief: you already have the confidence and strength you need — sometimes you just need guidance to find it. I've worked with teens navigating the complexities of growing up, adults rebuilding their self-worth, couples reconnecting after drifting apart, and professionals stepping into leadership with authenticity.
Through Life-Therapy, I've built two ways to support you on that journey. Our 1:1 online sessions offer personalised, in-depth coaching and counselling via secure video call. And our online course library — 10 comprehensive courses covering everything from self-esteem and confidence to anxiety management, relationships, and professional presence — lets you learn and grow at your own pace, on your own schedule.

“I found Roxanne enormously helpful when getting ready for university.
