Andrea Zimmering

I come to this line of work passionate about providing support to individuals seeking change and growth. 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.

As your therapist my focus is on making you feel comfortable and at ease while in session. In a session I will work collaboratively with you to establish meaningful insights and solutions to your present challenges.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on various therapeutic theories and approaches. Every session we have together provides a unique opportunity to address your present challenges with different tools and strategies. A central focus of my work is helping to enhance mind-body connection, mindful awareness, and nervous system regulation. I utilize therapeutic techniques from the following models: emotion focused therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, somatic-based therapy, and parts work.

I have experience working with a diverse range of individuals with varying challenges. My clients, who include adults, couples, and youth, 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  

In a session I will work collaboratively with you to better understand the root of your concerns and build a path forward. Our sessions may include processing the past, creating goals for the future, and discovering the present. 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. Prior to working as a counsellor, I worked as a holistic nutritionist with a focus on intuitive eating and Health-at-Every Size.
