"People don't need saving—they need to discover their own power and learn how to access it.
Through my honest, direct, and compassionate approach, I guide clients on a journey of connection, integration, and meaningful growth."
~Andrea Salway- BEd, MACP
Nice to meet you!
I am Andrea Salway from BEyond Therapy Counselling & Holistic Services.
As a counselling therapist with over 15 years of experience in the helping field, my practice is enriched by my diverse experiences across various settings. I have dedicated my life to supporting both youth and adults in navigating their personal challenges.
My journey is deeply personal. As a mother and a professional committed to the well-being of others, I have developed a profound compassion for those who are struggling. My varied roles—as a therapist, self-discovery and feminine embodiment mentor, teacher, school support counsellor, business owner, and mental health educator—have all deepened my understanding of the human condition and fueled my desire to help people heal from trauma and grow through life’s challenges. I am also a Reiki Master/Teacher practitioner, a certified 200hr Yoga Instructor, and a certified Mindfulness Practitioner.
I believe that one of the most critical relationships we have is with ourselves. The journey of self-understanding is, in my view, the most important one we can undertake. While relationships can be a source of pain and adversity, they are also the very medium through which we can heal, transform, and find strength. It is through healthy relationships with both self and community that we can mend our wounds and turn our scars into resources of empowerment.
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing on principles from several evidence-based psychological theories. I have also received specialized training in Mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, and Somatic inteventions, which allows me to facilitate the crucial mind-body reconnection necessary for healing. This approach helps individuals reclaim their autonomy, cultivate safety, and develop the tolerance needed to process trauma and difficult emotions.
I am deeply passionate about walking alongside people on their journey of healing and self-discovery. My mission is to help individuals find connection, gain insight, and develop the strength to overcome life’s challenges, healing not just for themselves but for the generations that follow.
I have the privilege of providing services to help individuals with a wide range of needs, such as:
~Trauma
~Anxiety, depression and stress management
~Boundaries, communication and assertiveness
~Parenting and/or relationship challenges
~Managing difficult emotions
~Moving through grief and loss
~Addressing fear, anger and sadness
~Wellness and coping skills
~Addiction
~Self-esteem
~Discovering passion and purpose
~Cultivating self-compassion, self-forgiveness and self-love
~Adjusting to life transitions
~Achieving balance
~Developing inner strength and courage

Three paths to explore:
Counselling Therapy Services
COUNSELLING
In-person and virtual counselling for ages 14+ to experience a safe and supportive space to explore challenges, rediscover strengths, and create meaningful change. My individualized approach combines therapeutic expertise with holistic practices to help you navigate relationship dynamics, personal identity struggles, and emotional healing. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and empowerment, so you can lead a more authentic and fulfilling life.
ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY (ART)
ART is a very focused eye movement and somatic processing therapy that produces quick, effective and safe results in treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, phobias, grief, addiction, boundaries, self-esteem, relationship issues and more for both adults and children in as little as 1-5 sessions. After the completion of treatment, the evidence shows that changes made during ART sessions are long-lasting.
*ART is not the same as EMDR, though both modalities use eye movements.
*ART sessions are offered in-person only!
Inquire within for more info.

PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION
These sessions use a harm-reduction approach to provide support for people who have experienced, or are considering preparing for, the use of psychedelics.
*Please Note: I do not provide psychoactive substances or make recommendations on their use. Psychedelic integration is not about encouraging the consumption of psychedelics; it is about harm reduction and integrating the experience into long-lasting, positive changes that enhance personal insight and overall well-being for day-to-day living.
