Hi, I’m Andrea 👋🏼 — a Registered Clinical Counsellor nestled in the beautiful Kootenay mountain town of Nelson, BC.

My path to counselling wasn’t exactly a straight line. After spending five years working in education in Ontario, I found myself increasingly drawn to the world of mental health and the ways we can support people through the challenges, transitions, and experiences that shape our lives. That curiosity eventually became a passion — and a new career path.

Since then, I’ve completed my Master’s in Counselling and am now a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, families, and couples across both public and private settings, supporting people through things like stress and anxiety, life transitions, neurodiversity, workplace burnout, grief, and relationship challenges.

For me, counselling is about creating a space where you can feel safe, heard, understood, and supported — without judgment and having to have everything figured out before you walk through the door.

That’s at the heart of why I created Red Brick Counselling: to offer a warm, positive, and supportive space for people as they navigate whatever life has placed in front of them. A space to explore, reflect, and grow.

I’m looking forward to sharing a little more about counselling, mental health, relationships, and the things that make us human along the way.
