No clinic in Richmond has been reachable, so we do not know what is free today. This is a gap on our side, not a city that is fully booked — the clinics’ own booking pages are still the answer, and each clinic page here links to one.
Each of these is a page of its own, with its own list and its own prices. The chips at the top of this page filter these same results without leaving.
Ailio holds 104 practitioners across 267 clinics in Richmond, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $165 and $262.50, though the lengths behind them are not all the same treatment. 2 clinics 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.
The median listed price is $190, taken from 464 priced services at 32 clinics in Richmond. Half of them fall between $165 and $262.50. 932 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.
Right now, yes: 94 openings are still free today at 7 clinics, out of the 45 clinics we can currently check. We could not check 2 other clinics in Richmond, 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.
25 clinics of the 47 clinics whose billing page we have read in Richmond state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: ICBC (23), WorkSafeBC (4), MSP (premium assistance) (1), Workers' compensation (3) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (11) — 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.
