ABOUT US
Why Work With
Aurora Counselling
Therapy opens the door to new choices and possibilities.
You have the choice not to get mad all the time, to choose how you react, and to show up differently. By enhancing your emotional perception, we can help you to make different choices and actively live your life.
At Aurora Counselling, we can help you gain clarity on the emotional experience of your past, so you can get unstuck and focus on a brighter future.
Our expertise allows us to help our clients effectively address relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, family conflicts, and grief.
Take the first step to embrace new choices, show up as your best self, and feel better.
At Aurora Counselling, we believe therapy should include:
A chance for new perspective
Understand your emotions and life situations. Gain clarity and identify what you want to change.
A choice for change
Clear perception opens up new choices.
A process to find relief
Feeling better becomes a key measure of progress, reflecting how therapy can continue supporting your choices.

Our Approach
How Our Therapy Works
We help you make sense of your past and present, offering professional support so you can move forward with lasting change.
Step 1
Choosing A Therapist
Finding the right therapist is key—chemistry matters. After you reach out, we set up a consultation with the therapist you prefer or we help you choose the best fit. If it’s a good match, you and the therapist will go ahead and book ongoing sessions.
Step 2
Getting Started
Our clients usually come to therapy because something about their life isn’t working and they want help making a change. In the beginning, your therapist will get to know you and understand how you see your situation. As you move forward, your therapist will use different approaches to help you see things differently, so that you can make different choices and feel better.
Step 3
Making Changes
Therapy gives you a bit of “time out” from life to reflect, explore, and work through your experiences, including any old wounds. With professional support, it’s a chance to discover new ways of seeing things, make choices that will work for you, and start living your life according to those choices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know who is the right therapist for me?
We offer a free initial consultation with the therapist of your choice because it’s important for both client and therapist to feel comfortable in the relationship. If the first match doesn’t feel right, we’ll arrange a second free consultation with another therapist or guide you to find a better fit.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
No, you don’t need a referral from your physician to start therapy. However, some insurance plans require a doctor’s referral for coverage. If your insurance does, we suggest waiting to submit your sessions for reimbursement until you have the referral.
What is Virtual Therapy?
Instead of meeting in the office, you’ll connect with your therapist through video conferencing software. You’ll schedule a time to meet virtually, and your therapist will send you a link to join the video call. Once you click the link, your session will begin just like an in-person meeting.
The platforms we use are secure and comply with Ontario’s Health Information Privacy laws. While we ensure privacy on our end, it’s your responsibility to arrange privacy in your own space. Your therapist will also have backup plans in case of any technical issues or interruptions during your session.
What if my resources are limited?
From the start, it’s crucial for both the therapist and client to be clear about any limits on how long therapy may continue, including financial constraints. The therapist’s role is to focus on what can be achieved within the given time and avoid exploring issues that might extend beyond those limits, preventing unnecessary discomfort for both the client and the therapist.
How does payment work, and what is your cancellation policy?
We accept all major credit cards and recommend keeping a card on file to simplify billing. Session fees are processed at the end of each session, and e-receipts are automatically sent to your preferred email. Payments can also be made via e-transfer.
Please note that all clinic appointments must be cancelled at least 48 hours in advance to avoid being charged the full fee. You can cancel your appointment by contacting your therapist or our office. To reschedule, simply reach out to your therapist or our office by phone or email.
