For the past several seasons, Goddard has been a guest conflict-resolution expert on "Maury" and has also served as guest host of the talk show several times, becoming very popular with viewers.
Born in London as the eldest of four girls, Goddard was raised and educated in Tanzania, East Africa and Surrey, South East England. In 1985 she immigrated to Australia where she first worked in public relations and shortly after, her television career took off. As a guest host for Channel Ten's children's show, "Off the Dish," she went on to become a news and current affairs reporter for SBS TV in 1986. In the following year she became a popular host with Australia's "Play School" for ten years. During this time, she also landed the prestigious job as host on ABC's (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation) primetime current affairs program, "7.30 Report " and became the first black anchorwoman on Australian TV. Goddard later established and hosted the prime time show "Everybody" in Australia and started her own production company, developing, producing over 400 programs.
In September 1998, Goddard moved to Britain to host her own talk show, "Trisha" until 2005 and became ITV's new ‘Queen of Chat.' In late 2004 she set up her own production company in the U.K. called Town House TV, which produced her daily talk show, "Trisha Goddard," that aired from 2005-2010 on Channel 5.
Goddard wrote her autobiography "As I Am" where she talks about her personal trials and tribulations including her breast cancer diagnosis in 2008. Goddard has been cancer free for 4 years.
Pulling from her past personal and family struggles, Goddard is a Mental Health activist, wanting to get better services for people with mental illness around the world. While she was in Australia, the Australian Government appointed her chair of arguably the most powerful Mental Health Body on the continent: The National Consumer Advisory Group on Mental Health. Over the next 10 years in this role, she was to instigate and chair many high profile National projects, including being a member of Australia's Advertising Standards Board for 2 years, and received high accolades for her work and dedication.
Currently, Goddard is actively involved in a number of charities including "Home-Start," a parenting charity, and "Mind," a major UK Mental Health charity. In 2011 Goddard was awarded the British College of Psychiatrist's President's International medal for services in mental health and she is one of the 'faces' of UK's "Time to Change," a high profile initiative to tackle the stigma of mental illness. In 2012, she became a licensed Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner.
Goddard is married with two teenage daughters and a dog Alf and splits her time living in the U.S. and Britain.
