Dr Michele Rossouw
Dr. Michele Rossouw is a pastoral counsellor, educator, and workshop presenter passionate
about guiding others toward healing and wholeness through an integrated approach that combines theology, psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual care.
With a PhD in Theology (Pastoral Studies) and years of hands-on counselling experience, Michele brings both depth and compassion to her work.
Since founding You-Turn Powerfully
in 2017, she has supported individuals through seasons of grief, trauma, identity shifts, and
spiritual struggle—creating a safe space for clients to rediscover meaning, strength, and
hope.
Her counselling approach thoughtfully blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
with self-compassion, mindfulness, and Scriptural insight. Drawing on the latest neuroscience around trauma and emotional resilience, Michele helps clients grow from the inside out—equipping them to live with authenticity, balance, and a restored relationship with God and self.
Michele is also the writer and presenter of several transformative workshops that empower
individuals and fellow caregivers to thrive—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
At the heart of her work is a deeply held belief captured in the words of Meister Eckhart:
“The outward work will never be puny if the inward work is great.”
This quote is more than inspiration—it is the motto by which Dr. Michele lives and practises.
It reflects her commitment to cultivating deep inner awareness and guiding others to do the
same, knowing that meaningful outward transformation always begins within
