Andrea Salway, Counselling Therapist & Parenting Guide

Welcome! I am Andrea Salway from BEyond Therapy Counselling & Holistic Services.

As a counseling therapist and parenting coach with over 15 years of experience, I have dedicated my life to supporting both youth and adults in navigating their personal challenges. My practice is enriched by my diverse experiences across various settings, including parent coaching, mental health education, and community volunteering. I am also a Reiki Master/Teacher practitioner, a certified 200hr Yoga Instructor, and a certified Mindfulness Practitioner.


My journey is deeply personal. As a mother of six 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, teacher, school support counselor, 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 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 Experiencing, 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.

Therapeutic Services

COUNSELLING
~In-person and virtual counselling for ages 12+ 
 
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. Click here for more info.
*ART is not the same as EMDR, though both modalities use eye movements. 
*ART sessions are offered in-person only!
PARENTING & RELATIONSHIP GUIDANCE
~Are you a parent seeking valuable insights and practical strategies that lead to lasting change?
~Do you find yourself overwhelmed, caught in the chaos of parenting?
~Are you feeling like your family is struggling to find a sense of calm or to connect & communicate effectively?
If you answered 'yes' to any of the above, I encourage you to reach out for more information about family & parent coaching services that I offer.

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.
