My name is Andrea Zimmering, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked as a holistic nutritionist with a special focus on intuitive eating. I am also a 200-Hour Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher. As a clinical counsellor I believe continually engaging in ongoing education and training is an imperative part of my role. In addition to receiving clinical and group supervision I have completed the following trainings: Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy Two-Year Training , Bringing the Body into Practice EMDRIA Approved EMDR Training , Elevate EMDR AEDP Level 1 Certification Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) training, Crisis Centre BC I have experience working with a diverse range of individuals with varying challenges. My clients, who include individuals (14+) and couples, come to me wanting support in areas such as: Anxiety and Depression Life transitions / adjustments Relationship concerns Self-confidence and self-esteem Career exploration and workplace challenges Body image and disordered eating Counselling provides a safe space to work through aspects of your life that feel challenging. Working together, my goal is for you to feel supported in your journey while gaining insights into your present problems. In a session I will work collaboratively with you to better understand the root of your concerns and build a path forward. Common areas of exploration in session will include values, internal and external resources, self-talk, goal setting and the impact of the many systems in your life. I strive to show up with integrity in my work and ensure that my clients feel seen, heard, and safe to show up authentically as they are throughout the counselling process. Our sessions may include processing the past, creating goals for the future, and discovering the present. A central focus of my work is helping to enhance mind-body connection, mindful awareness, and nervous system regulation.
