Alex Coles, MPChe/him

I'm Alex Coles, a Clinical Counsellor and Career Counsellor based in Vancouver. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, career transitions, and the kind of life changes that feel heavy even when you can't quite name why. My approach is direct and warm, and I'm not afraid to gently push back when I think it'll help. I believe the work we do together should feel real, not rehearsed.

In sessions, I draw on a wide range of approaches including CBT, somatic work, IFS parts work, ACT, narrative therapy, and solution-focused methods, weaving them together based on what actually fits you. I'm curious about the patterns that keep showing up in your life, the stories you tell yourself about who you are, and what it might look like to relate to those differently. I use psychoeducation naturally, not as a lecture, but as a way to make sense of what's happening in your body and mind.

I offer one-to-one virtual counselling and coaching sessions, so wherever you are, we can work together. If you're wondering whether this is the right fit, I offer a free consultation. Reach out and let's find out.
