About me

Hello,

I'm Roxana, a BACP Registered Counsellor based in Newbury.

I was drawn to counselling because I've always been interested in learning more about relationships, beliefs, identities and the different challenges we encounter throughout life. I was also interested in learning more about my own past experiences. 

What is it like to work with me?

I would describe myself as warm, approachable and calm.

For me, one of the most important parts of counselling is being able to listen without judgement. You don't need to worry about saying the "right" thing, you can simply come as you are.

About my practice

I'm an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches such as Psychodynamic, Person-Centred and CBT rather than believing that one way of working suits everyone.

We all have different experiences, personalities, relationships, beliefs and ways of making sense of the world.

Rather than trying to fit you into a particular approach, I want to understand what you need and what may be most helpful for you.

Culture and Belonging

Culture and belonging are particularly meaningful to me.

Having moved countries myself, I understand that starting life somewhere new can bring a mixture of emotions and experiences. It can shape how we see ourselves, our identity and where we feel we belong. This personal experience is one of the reasons I'm particularly interested in supporting people navigating cultural identity, belonging and life transitions.

Experience

Alongside my private practice i have previously worked with the Charity Mind and Time to Talk, supporting clients with diverse life challenges.
