About Anastasia Goussios
I live and work in Adelaide, South Australia. For over three decades I have been supporting people in my role as a psychologist, eco-therapist, shamanic psychotherapist, teacher and facilitator. I draw wisdom from numerous influences which I have incorporated into my life and work.
I love variety, and feel blessed to have had an interesting and diverse career that has brought many opportunities to learn, travel and assist individuals, leaders and organisations. My professional experience includes establishing my private practice, working with people in rural and remote towns, and the criminal justice system, speaking at conferences, and facilitating community women’s workshops. Compassion Fatigue Australia is another facet of what I do and is designed to support front-line organisations that provide services to the vulnerable. It will offer you some more insight into my work.
Over time my focus has evolved into teaching what I love the most; women’s transformational work, the ways of the soul and finding our way back into right relationship with the more-than-human world and the land upon which we reside. For this reason, I have created Soul Praxis.

My Story
I am the firstborn daughter of Greek migrants who came to Australia in the 1950s, carrying the weight of war and loss, yet determined to build a better life. Their resilience shaped my own, even as I grappled with the challenges of being raised between two worlds.
When I was seven, my family left the religion of our heritage and joined a patriarchal, fundamentalist cult. It demanded absolute obedience, silencing individuality and severing connections to anything beyond its confines. As a child, I often felt as though my inner life had been colonised. Yet, deep within, I sensed a truth waiting to be reclaimed—a calling I would only discover decades later.
In my mid-thirties, a misdiagnosis of a life-threatening illness became my catalyst for transformation. Stripped of certainty, I began an odyssey of self-discovery, confronting everything I thought I knew about myself. What seemed like a curse became an initiation into the mysteries of the soul. The experience broke me open, revealing truths long buried and guiding me home to myself.
During this time, I discovered shamanism, an ancient, earth-based spirituality. Though unfamiliar, it awakened a remembrance within me. Teaching myself to journey, I felt the parched soil of my psyche begin to heal. This was the birth of my soul praxis—a practice of deep listening, mythic exploration, and co-creation with the living earth and unseen forces.
For over two decades, I have walked the path of the mystic, apprenticing myself to my soul and the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. My own dark night experiences have taught me what it means to surrender, heal, and emerge into the light of a new story. From this journey, Soul Praxis was born—a movement to guide others in reclaiming their sovereignty, connecting with their inner authority, and aligning their lives with the deeper rhythms of the soul and the earth.
