Ailio holds 43 practitioners across 104 clinics in Courtenay, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $120 and $192.25, though the lengths behind them are not all the same treatment. 1 clinic here cannot currently be checked for availability, so anything this page says about openings is about the rest.
The fifty-minute hour is close to universal in counselling, which makes this the one discipline on Ailio where two prices are usually for the same appointment. What the difference between them reflects is the practitioner rather than the session — most often their designation, which is on each of their own pages here where a clinic or a register has told us what it is.

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.
Right now, yes: 29 openings are still free today at 2 clinics, out of the 14 clinics we can currently check. We could not check 1 other clinic in Courtenay, so there may be more. Openings are read from each clinic’s own calendar and kept regularly up to date, rather than checked live, so confirm with the clinic before you travel.
5 clinics of the 14 clinics whose billing page we have read in Courtenay state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: Veterans Affairs (1), ICBC (2), RCMP / Canadian Forces (1) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Pacific Blue Cross (2), Extended health plans (2), Medavie Blue Cross (1), Canada Life (1) — claiming on one of those spends your own annual maximum. We have not read the billing page of 1 other clinic in Courtenay; that is a gap in our records, not a clinic that declines to direct-bill. 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.
Across 2 clinics, out of the 14 clinics we can currently check and 1 we cannot. Times come straight from each clinic’s calendar and expire when they are taken. You don’t need an account to look — signing in is only asked for once you pick a time to book.
