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 am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (Reg # 13178). I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, a BA in Child and Youth Care and a diploma in First Nations Child and Youth Care. I have completed post graduate work in trauma, attachment, cultural safety, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
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.
