From $150 for 50 min — the lowest price this clinic lists for Counselling.
Direct billing
19 practitioners at 8 clinics in Victoria, offering counselling, with the prices those clinics publish and the openings their own calendars hold. No booking fee, and Ailio never marks a price up.
This is what Ailio has found in Victoria — not every clinic in it. Openings are read from each clinic’s booking system into a regularly refreshed index rather than live, so confirm before you travel.
Every calendar we can read in Victoria is full for the rest of today. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert usually beats refreshing.

Local context
Ailio holds 19 practitioners across 8 clinics in Victoria, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $150 and $196.25, but the lengths behind them differ — $60 · 50 min and $290 · 1 hr 30 min are usually not the same treatment for a different price, they are different treatments.
The median listed price is $160, taken from 96 priced services at 11 clinics in Victoria. Half of them fall between $150 and $196.25. 63 services here publish no price at all and are not in that figure. These are the clinics' own published rates — Ailio adds no booking fee and never marks a price up.
Counselling with a registered clinical counsellor is not covered by MSP. Sessions with a family doctor or psychiatrist are, and some publicly funded and non-profit services are free at the point of use — those are separate from the private clinics indexed here. Private sessions are paid by the patient and claimed on an extended-health plan if it includes counselling, which many do only up to a low annual maximum.
No referral is needed to see a registered clinical counsellor in British Columbia. Some extended-health plans reimburse only for specific designations — RCC, CCC or a registered psychologist — so check which your plan names before you book.
Not today. Nothing is left in the calendars of the 13 clinics we can currently check in Victoria. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert is usually a better bet than refreshing.
5 clinics of the 42 clinics whose billing page we have read in Victoria state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: ICBC (1), Veterans Affairs (1), RCMP / Canadian Forces (1) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (4) — claiming on one of those spends your own annual maximum. These are the clinics’ own words, repeated — confirm with them before you book, because whether a particular claim goes through is between the clinic and the payer.
Half of the listed prices fall between $150 and $196.25. From 96 priced services at 11 clinics; 63 other services here publish no price at all. Lengths differ between these, so compare the price ladder below rather than thisspread alone.
