Nothing here is too small to ask. Choose the group that fits you.
Starting out
Aeora is for adults, 18 and over. You don't need to know what to say or what you're looking for. You can begin wherever you are.
Join the waitlist. We'll reach out when it's time to choose a therapist and ask for a time.
Yes, when it's the right fit for you. Your first four sessions with a supervised trainee therapist are free, and a free session doesn't need a card or any payment. We ask a few gentle questions when you join, so we can suggest the right support.
You can choose what comes next.
Each independent therapist sets their own rate, and you'll see it on their profile before you book.
Your therapist
They're master's psychology students at the start of their careers, each guided by a supervisor. If a different kind of support would suit you better, we'll gently say so.
Every trainee therapist works with an experienced supervisor. They guide the work and are alerted if a client may need extra support. Your care is held by more than one person.
We check the qualifications of independent therapists. Clinical psychologists are also checked against their RCI registration, and counseling psychologists share their NCAHP registration number. Trainee therapists share their academic documents and identity details, and each has a supervisor.
Supervised trainee therapists are master's psychology students in training, each guided by a supervisor. Independent therapists are counseling and clinical psychologists in their own practice. Either can be right for you, and some people work with both.
Yes. You choose who you'd like to meet and ask for a time. They have 24 hours to reply.
With independent therapists you choose who to book each time. With a supervised trainee therapist you stay with the same person for your four free sessions, so there's time to feel at ease. If a session didn't feel right, tell us when you rate it and you can switch sooner.
No. The therapists on Aeora are counseling and clinical psychologists and supervised trainee therapists, and they don't prescribe medication. If you think you might need it, a doctor or psychiatrist can assess that, and your therapist can talk it through with you.
