Ali Margulius Counselling

Counselling / Psychology / Mental Health

With over 10 years of experience in counselling, teaching, and social support roles, I support individuals and youth navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is warm, grounded, and relational — rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel safe, heard, and understood.

Since childhood, creativity has shaped how I make sense of the world. Before becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I completed my BFA and BEd and spent years teaching and working closely with young people and families. Transitioning into counselling felt like a natural extension of my passion for meaningful one-on-one connection and supporting others in finding clarity and confidence within themselves.

Those close to me describe me as empathetic, real, and grounded. Drawing from my diverse life experiences, I bring deep empathy and a genuine understanding of the challenges people face. I meet clients where they are, honouring their lived experience while offering gentle guidance, emotional insight, and practical tools to help them feel more connected, regulated, and empowered in their lives.

I work from a trauma-informed, person-centred lens, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship above all. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, moving through grief or transition, or seeking a stronger sense of self, I’m here to walk alongside you with warmth, curiosity, and steady support.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from The University of British Columbia and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based in Vancouver, offering both in-person sessions and virtual therapy across BC.

I have a background in psychology, neuroscience, and clinical addictions. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in a range of mental health settings, including crisis response, recovery groups, and accessibility advocacy — experiences that shaped my belief that people don’t need to be “fixed,” but understood.

My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, humanistic, and attachment-based approaches. I see counselling as a collaborative process where insight and action meet. Clients can expect a balance of curiosity, honesty, and practical tools in our work together.

I have a special interest in working with couples at all stages, men’s mental health, neurodivergence, and individuals rebuilding connection with themselves or others after loss, addiction, or major transitions. Clients can expect a mix of warmth, directness, and active engagement; we will explore patterns, but we will also focus on practical ways to create change outside of session.

At the heart of my work is the belief that growth happens when we feel safe enough to be challenged and supported at the same time. My role is to help you strengthen that balance, so you can understand yourself deeply, respond to life with more choice, and move toward what feels aligned and sustainable.
