About Rebecca

Rebecca Fairweather, MA, RCC

I have ​had a diverse career working with children, youth, families, and adults across Vancouver Island since 2008. I have provided clinical counselling for children, youth, adults and families in a wide range of settings. I have worked for non- profit agencies, private organizations, and government agencies.  

I believe that everyone deserves caring support and meaningful connections. I value the gifts and strengths you bring to our time together. My commitment to you is a supportive, curious, strength-based approach that helps you to find your own answers on your healing journey.
