About 

My name is Andrea Shuttleworth and I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor through BCACC with a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. 

With many years of experience working with children, youth, adults, parents, and families in a variety of counselling and support settings, I'm passionate about helping those in need obtain the best quality of life and fulfillment in all aspects of life. Whether that be supporting an adolescent through early teen years, a parent struggling to connect with a child, helping an atypical child adapt to typical expectations, returning to work after a significant leave, or managing a long term illness/injury. Regardless of anyone's experience, everyone's journey requires foundation and framework to build and create a lifestyle filled with happiness, stability, and longevity. 

Areas of counselling focus include:

• Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma & Grief

• Adolescent Counselling

• Neurodiversity: ASD & ADHD, FASD

• Parental Support

• Workplace Support: Return to Work / Burnout

• Chronic Pain: Pain Management / Recovery

My clinical practice draws from Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Bowen's Family System Theory.  

Originally from Ontario, my husband and I moved to the Kootenays in 2020. Along with our daughter and two dogs, Trek & Paddle, we enjoy spending time outdoors; camping, hiking, fishing, and exploring!

Red Brick Counselling was created in 2024 to provide additional services and supports to the communities and families within the West Kootenays.
