Hello, and welcome! My name is Andrea and my pronouns are she/her. I am a trauma informed therapist and mindfulness meditation teacher.

I have over 15 years of experience specializing in supporting people overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and burnout. I am particularly passionate about using mindfulness, and self compassion practices to support an awareness of your inner parts while supporting you throughout your healing journey.

In our work together, you will learn how to develop a kinder relationship with yourself, as well as learn skills and tools to set boundaries with people, live your heart centred values and learn how to get in touch with your own innate aliveness. A part of our work might also include bringing to light the deeply engrained structural systems of power that operate within our culture. Together we can recognize the ways in which these oppressions have held you back from living into your true nature, and find creative ways to radically shift your life.

If you're curious about how my approach can support you on this path, I invite you to get in touch with me to learn more.

Andrea Weekes
(She/Her/Hers) RSW

My name is Andrea and my pronouns are she/her. I have 16 years of experience as a social worker and helping professional working in a diverse range of settings that include community outreach, youth mental health, adult mental health, housing, and education.

A bit about how I practice - I consider myself a guide rather than an expert, and I like to frame our sessions by asking questions to invite you to reconsider, or at least question, how you are making sense of your experience.

As well, I consider myself a feminist counsellor which means I can help create opportunities in our sessions to examine how power shapes different areas of your life. I am passionate about integrating empowerment and consciousness raising into my therapeutic work.

In my personal life, I am a dedicated practitioner of Insight Meditation (Vipassana) and I attend multi-day silent retreats each year. I love to travel and I love to be in nature and enjoy spending quality time with my loved ones, including my kitty, Tito! :)

I am an ally of members of the LGBTQQIP2SA community. As well, my practice is located on the traditional and stolen lands of the Coast Salish Territory, which includes the Lekwungen (Esquimalt and Songhees), Pacheedaht, Scia’new, T’Sou-ke, and W̱SÁNEĆ (Pauquachin, Malahat, Tsartlip, Tsawout, Tseycum) nations.

If you are curious about how we might be able to work together, I offer a free 15 min consultation you can click the link below to learn more. I look forward to connecting with you!
