Hi, my name is Janaya Andrews - it’s lovely to meet you!

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BCACC. My pronouns are she/her. I am thankful to work, live, and play on the traditional lands of the Cowichan Tribes, here on Vancouver Island. I graduated with my Master’s degree from Yorkville University, after completing a 10-month practicum with a full client caseload.

I founded Broken Coast Therapy shortly afterward to connect with the community, offering online therapy across BC, along with a unique walk-and-talk option so clients can integrate nature into their healing experience.

My therapeutic approach is a blend of narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems, dialectical behavior therapy, and the Gottman Method for couples. I focus on creating a safe, collaborative space where we can explore your story, develop practical tools, and foster lasting change in a way that fits your needs.

Outside of therapy, I love being immersed in nature. . . running, hiking, and practicing yoga. You may also find me being creative through scrapbooking and getting lost in a good book!
