Oksana Perets MA, MC, RCC

I was born and raised in Ukraine, and over a decade ago my adventurous spirit brought me to Canada for graduate studies. Growing up in post-Soviet Ukraine shaped my sensitivity to social justice and inspired my anti-oppressive, non-normative approach to counselling. I value freedom of self-expression and the courage it takes to live authentically and creatively. I meet my clients with warmth, respect, and curiosity—whether they connect with traditional lifestyles, queer identities, or the spaces in between.

My diverse experiences and love of learning deeply influence my perspective. Alongside my Master of Counselling Psychology, I hold a Master’s in Translation Studies. I offer services in English and Ukrainian, and my studies of German, Polish, Spanish, and French have enriched my appreciation for different ways of being human.

Services

I offer a collaborative, culturally sensitive approach to counselling, centred on creating a safe and supportive relationship. Using narrative, somatic, and person-centred modalities, I honour your expertise in your own life and work with you to clarify goals and explore meaningful paths toward growth and healing.

Healing from Trauma

Trauma can leave a lasting mark, but it doesn't have to define your future. My specialization is in guiding clients toward resilience and post-traumatic growth. Together, we can process your experiences and help you reclaim your story.

Women's Wellness

I am passionate about supporting women through major life transitions. From career changes to motherhood, I offer a space to rediscover yourself. With specialized training in Maternal Mental Health, I am equipped to support you through every stage of your journey.

A Space for Your Whole Identity

Your cultural background is an integral part of your story. My approach is built on a deep understanding of complex cultural identities, ensuring you feel seen and honored in your entirety. Here, all parts of you are welcome.

Navigating Life's Challenges

Life can feel overwhelming. I provide a supportive space to work through anxiety, depression, grief, and periods of high stress. We will work together to find strategies that help you cope, heal, and move forward with clarity.

Personal Growth & Self-Discovery

Are you seeking a deeper connection with yourself? I support clients on their journey toward greater self-esteem and confidence. This is a space to explore your values, build a more fulfilling life, and live more authentically.

Relationship Counselling

Whether you're struggling with a partner, family, or friends, relationships are central to our wellbeing. I help clients navigate communication difficulties, build healthier connections, and foster more meaningful bonds.
