A little about Alex and what he is drawn to
Alex supports clients across a wide range of concerns, including:
Chronic pain and disability
Social Isolation
Masculinity and Emotional Regulation
Caregiver Support
Depression and anxiety
Anger and rage
Self-esteem and body image

His approach is integrative and practical.

He also weaves in tools that help many people feel more anchored during difficult seasons, including mindfulness and body-aware practices.
In Alex’s own words, he draws from ACT and Internal Family Systems-informed work, and uses practices like meditation, embodiment, metaphor, and talk therapy to support deeper self-understanding.

What Does it Mean to be a Registered Clinical Counsellor?
Becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) is not simply a change in title. It reflects a rigorous professional pathway that includes advanced education, a substantial amount of client-facing clinical work, and structured clinical supervision.
BCACC’s RCC process includes documented clinical supervision requirements, including at least 100 hours of clinical supervision, with at least 25 hours of direct clinical supervision documented on clinical reference forms. BCACC also outlines what counts as direct supervision, including options like direct observation, or review of recorded sessions, among other approved methods.
What matters most is what this protects and supports: quality of care, clinical accountability, ethical practice, and ongoing professional development. In a moment when “therapy” is used broadly online, accreditation helps clients know what they are stepping into, and what standards sit underneath the work.
It also matters practically. With RCC registration, many extended health plans are more likely to recognize sessions as eligible for reimbursement, which can reduce the financial barrier to consistent support.

Insurance Coverage and direct billing at Nimble
Starting therapy can be vulnerable enough without paperwork and reimbursement stress layered on top. To make things easier, Nimble offers direct billing with several insurers and platforms, including:
GreenShield direct billing
Nimble now offers GreenShield direct billing, so eligible clients can attend session and, when coverage allows, have the claim submitted without needing to manage the admin afterward.
Sun Life direct billing
We also offer direct billing through Sun Life, adding another option for clients who want therapy to feel more accessible and straightforward from the start.
Pacific Blue Cross direct billing
Nimble offers Pacific Blue Cross direct billing for eligible plans, supporting clients across BC with fewer barriers and less upfront stress.
TELUS Health eClaims direct billing
We are also set up with TELUS Health eClaims, which can enable direct billing to many extended health insurance providers (depending on your plan).
A gentle note: coverage varies by provider, plan, and employer. If you are unsure what your plan includes, we can usually help you figure out what questions to ask your insurer before your first session.
Weekend in-person availability (plus online options)
Many people want counselling but cannot make typical weekday hours work. Alex currently offers a schedule that supports busy lives and shifting routines, including:
Saturday: 8am–6pm
Sunday: 8am–6pm
Monday: 8am–6pm
Tuesday: 8am–6pm
Alex is available for both in-person sessions in Vancouver and online sessions across BC, so you can choose what fits your body, your schedule, and your season
