Hello!
My name is Oksana,
but you can call me
Roxy
My private psychotherapy practice is based in Manchester, the epicentre of social change.
I identify as a Diversity Affirming Psychotherapist. Black Lives Matter! Women’s Lives Matter! LGBTQIA+ Lives Matter! Neurodivergent Lives Matter! Disabled Lives Matter! They matter with great intensity. Lives of different shapes, colours, and orientations matter. All lives matter, but some are born into privilege. I am here to support my clients in liberation from socially imposed constraints. I am here to support the trauma healing process that, for most of us, has started in childhood. I hear you. I see you. I stand by you.
Survive, strengthen, thrive and connect. Moving from the individual happiness from within to the satisfaction of living fully within a community we deserve.
My ethos is to capitalise on my white privilege in a passionate contribution to social change
Being trained as a Person-Centred Psychotherapist means that I don’t claim to be an expert. I facilitate a safe space for my clients to discover their unique definitions of happiness, success, meaning, and purpose, reclaiming personal power. Personally, I don’t particularly like when people tell me what to do. Likewise, I greatly respect the autonomous actualising spirit in others breaking free.
I have been described as passionate in my work promoting social change as well as intuitive, warm, genuine and compassionate in the way that I relate to people in the therapy room.
My therapeutic approach
My therapeutic approach is integrative, incorporating humanistic, person-centred, experiential, relational, dialogical, somatic and mindfulness modalities. I can adapt the way I work to suit your changing needs. If you like working creatively, we can explore the issues that you bring though creative psychotherapy with art, writing, poetry, music, movement and drama. I take the mind-body-spirit-community continuum approach to healing. Using a multi modal skill set, I offer complementary therapy to clients who are spiritually oriented.
Recognising the brain-gut connection, I can support my clients as a naturopath, with nutritional advise on request.
