Andrew Phillipps

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. 

My goal is to provide a warm, accepting and calm space for clients to mindfully explore their challenges with life in a secure, non-judgemental environment. I believe it is my calling to help people journey through life in a way that alleviates burdens and reduces the sense of isolation. I use a systemic approach known as Internal Family Systems that connects you to different parts of yourself in order to feel whole, loved and accepted. 

I also incorporate a mindfulness approach, as I believe increasing awareness of one’s own behavioural patterns is a driver of personal transformation. Another unique element to my practice is the incorporation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as it emphasizes seeking balance in all things. Traditional Chinese Medicine has given me insight into Eastern, collectivist thought, which helps me to understand different client worldviews. 

I aim to use interventions and design a treatment approach that is tailored specifically to you. No matter who you are and where you come from, my therapeutic practice will ensure that you feel seen, heard and understood. I commend you for taking this step and choosing Counselling as a modality for your healing and it will be my honour to work with you.
