Elizabeth Beattie

RTC-C Registered Counsellor

Healing is a journey — and you don't have to walk it alone. I support youth (13+), adults and couples in Salmon Arm, BC. With a grounded, client-centered, trauma-informed, and body-aware approach, my role is to offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space that honors your autonomy, intuition, and lived experience. Using an integrative and multi-modal process, sessions are adapted to each individual's needs. This may include creative expression, emotion-focused work, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and practical skill-building.

Education & Training

  • Diploma of Professional Counselling from Rhodes Wellness College

  • Life Skills Coach Certification from Rhodes Wellness College

  • Additional training in Meditation, Mindfulness, and Art Therapy

On a personal note: I find meaning in the ordinary — whether I'm nurturing the earth or pausing to converse with a fellow stranger on the street, my personal practices reflect the same care and intentionality I bring to my work: rooted in authenticity, open-hearted curiosity, and deep compassion.

My path into this work is shaped by my own lived experience. Community, support circles, and eventually counselling gave me places where I could be honest, understood, and not rushed. Those spaces helped me reconnect with who I was beneath survival mode, and better understand healing as something relational, tender and deeply human. These pieces infuse my practice with purpose and are a constant reminder of why I do what I do today.
