Alex Wilson

 

Hi, I’m Alex (she/her).

** As a counselling intern completing my practicum with Our Landing Place, I am restricted in the types of counselling I can offer. Please fill out this form to help me and my supervising team determine if I can support you. **

I am queer, gray ace, cis, able bodied, white settler currently working and residing on the traditional territory of the Songhees, WSANEC, and L’kwungen peoples (colonially known as Victoria).

I am completing my Masters of Education in Counselling at University of Northern British Columbia. I have lived experience in the sex industry and have experience working in low barrier mental health, substance use, and shelter services.

As a counsellor in training, my goal is to create a judgment free space where you can feel comfortable exploring any topic, regardless of societal stigma or “taboo” narrative. I work from a client-centred and trauma-informed framework that is rooted in feminism, harm-reduction, anti-oppression and sex positive values. I am passionate about both strength-based and rights-based approaches that build trust, individual and community healing, and resourcing.

My areas of focus include:

  • Sex Work

  • Identity, Gender, Sexuality (focus on Asexual Spectrum)

  • Substance Misuse and Harm Reduction

  • Ethical Non-Monogamy / Consensual Non-Monogamy

I do not currently work with the following issues:

  • Sexual assault and abuse

  • Psychosis

  • Eating disorders

  • Current Intimate partner violence

Post-traumatic stress, perpetrators of abuse, and active addiction will be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure I can provide an appropriate level and type of support.

In my spare time, I like to split my time between the indoors and outdoors. I'm an avid manga and fantasy reader. I love to hike or just take my cat on walks around the neighbourhood.

Session Fee: $40 per 50-minute session (plus applicable tax).
