"People don't need saving they need to discover their own power and learn how to access it.
 
Through my honest, direct, and compassionate approach, I guide clients on a journey of connection, integration, and meaningful growth."
 
~Andrea Salway- BEd, MACP

Hi, I’m Andrea. I’m really glad you’re here.

Welcome to Beyond Therapy Counselling & Holistic Services.
I’m a counselling therapist and trauma-informed practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through burnout, trauma, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and self-discovery. But more than that I’m someone who genuinely believes in the power of honest conversation, nervous system safety, and the kind of healing that changes everything.

Not all therapy is the same.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, rushed, or unsure whether counselling could actually help, you’re not alone and you’re not out of options.
In this space, you don’t have to have it all together. You just have to be.
I offer a grounded, compassionate approach that blends evidence-based therapeutic models with holistic, mind-body practices. My work goes beyond talk therapy to help you reconnect with your body, your truth, and your sense of possibility. 

My path here is both professional and personal.

As a mother, educator, therapist, and lifelong student of the human experience, I’ve walked alongside people through their most difficult seasons grief, trauma, burnout, self-abandonment, relationship ruptures, and identity loss. And I’ve done my own healing work in parallel.
I know what it feels like to carry too much for too long. I also know the power of having a safe space where you can lay it down and start to rebuild.
My background includes work with both youth and adults in schools, mental health services, trauma recovery, and emotional resilience-building. I’m also a certified Reiki Master-Teacher, 200hr Yoga Instructor, and Mindfulness Practitioner, allowing me to support your healing on multiple levels not just mental, but physical, emotional, and energetic.

What you can expect in therapy with me

I bring an integrative, trauma-informed lens to my work drawing from modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Therapy, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches.
Whether you're here because you're burnt out, anxious, stuck in old patterns, or simply longing to feel more like yourself, I’ll meet you with honesty, attunement, and deep respect for your pace.
Together, we’ll explore your story, gently uncover what’s keeping you stuck, and begin integrating new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating so you can move forward with more clarity, capacity, and connection.

This work matters.

I believe the relationship we build with ourselves influences everything else our families, our work, our health, and our legacy. When we heal in relationship, we create ripple effects that can reach generations.
If you're ready for support that honors your whole self and helps you shift from surviving to truly living, I’d be honoured to walk beside you.

Working with me...

Not all therapy is the same.

 If you've ever felt unseen, rushed, or unsure whether counselling could actually help, you're not alone and you're not out of options.
 
In this space, you don’t have to have it all together. You just have to be.
 
I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that goes beyond “just talk therapy.” My work blends evidence-based practices with mind-body tools to support healing that’s real, integrative, and sustainable.
 
Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety & depression, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationships, or just feeling disconnected from yourself I offer a space where your nervous system can breathe, your story is honoured, and change can begin.
 
You don’t need fixing. You need support that sees your strength and walks beside you as you rediscover it.
