About Amakhoe Goabas

Hi! I’m Amakhoe Goabas — speech therapist, founder of Connected Speech Therapy, and firm believer that communication is fundamental to how we show up in the world. And everyone deserves to show up fully.

Let me elaborate. Effective communication underpins almost everything we want to do in life: connecting with the people we love, showing up in our work, our learning, and our everyday moments. That belief is what led me to found Connected Speech Therapy, a private speech therapy practice based in Windhoek, Namibia, where I work with clients of all ages, from babies to adults, in a holistic, client-centred way.

I hold a BSc (Honours) in Speech and Language Pathology from the University of Cape Town (2017), and I am registered with the Health Professions Council of Namibia. I bring both rigorous clinical training and genuine human curiosity to every session.

After years in practice, one principle guides everything I do: there is always a person before the diagnosis. Speech therapy isn’t about seeing problems and fixing people. It’s about finding the right strategies; grounded in current research and built around the individual; so that each person can communicate in a way that feels fully, authentically theirs.
