Beverley Anderson, M.S.W., RSW, CPF
Certified Parenting Facilitator, Compassionate Bereavement Care Certified Provider
I am a therapist who is committed to providing a safe, supportive space for individuals to process emotions and to develop skills and discover solutions that will enable them to live most authentically.
I am a Registered Social Worker with over 25 years of counselling experience in the mental health field.
I specialize in Perinatal Mental Health and offer support, resources and strategies for mental wellness through an eclectic approach. I have further specialization in Compassionate Bereavement Care for those who have suffered Perinatal Loss, and I am dedicated to offering a deep presence as I help accompany clients on their respective bereavement journeys.
I also have experience in counselling individuals and couples around fertility issues, building alternative families, depression and anxiety, parenting issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions and relationships.
I bring an authentic, encouraging, humourous and deeply caring approach to my work. I believe that my commitment to my clients' well-being is evident in my style and manner and this is at the foundation of my practice.
I aim to work collaboratively with my clients, respectfully offering support, encouragement, insights, constructive feedback and practical tools to empower them to take action in order to cultivate a life that is in congruence with their core values.
I am proud to offer a queer-positive, inclusive and culturally sensitive practice.

Compassionate Bereavement Care
the loss of a child is a traumatic event, be it during pregnancy or in the post-partum period
In September of 2018, I completed the Compassionate Bereavement Care Provider Certification through the MISS Foundation (www.missfoundation.org).
This specialized training has prepared me for the privilege of accompanying clients along their intense and unique bereavement journeys.
Please reach out to me if you have suffered such a loss, either recently or in the past, to find out if I might be the right person from whom you can receive compassionate and mindful therapeutic support.
CLINICAL SUPERVISION
With over 25 years of counselling experience, I am passionate about offering Clinical Supervision to therapists and I find it to be an energizing and mutually rewarding process. Over and above my wealth of direct experience, I have completed the Clinical Supervision in Counselling and Psychotherapy Course through the Justice Institute of BC. The following excerpt from their course description best captures my approach to Supervision:
“Clinical supervision rests on the foundation of a supervisor-supervisee relationship based on mutual respect, broadly shared world views, dedication to client welfare, collaboratively established goals and methods, and the emotional safety necessary for sharing and processing the emotional intensity of counselling and psychotherapy.”
I provide a free 20-minute virtual video consultation for those interested in learning more about my supervisory style, which can be accessed through emailing me directly at beverleyand@shaw.ca.
