How do I access couples therapy through Sonder?

Learn how to access fully funded couples therapy through Sonder, including account setup, linking partner accounts, booking appointments, and attending online couples counselling sessions with My Mirror.

If you have been referred to My Mirror for couples therapy through Sonder's Employee Assistance Program (EAP), you may be eligible for up to six fully funded couples therapy sessions with an experienced psychologist.

My Mirror provides secure online couples therapy, allowing you and your partner to attend sessions together from the same location or separately from different locations.

How does couples therapy through Sonder work?

Primary Account Holder

The primary account holder is the person who received the referral and initiates the couples therapy booking.

The primary account holder is responsible for:

  • Booking appointments

  • Rescheduling or cancelling sessions

  • Inviting their partner to create a linked My Mirror account

Session information is securely stored within the primary account.

Invited Partner

The invited partner is the person who receives an invitation to link their My Mirror account to the primary account holder's booking.

Both accounts must be linked before couples therapy sessions can proceed.

For the Primary Account Holder

Step 1: Create your My Mirror account

Once your Sonder referral has been received, you will receive an SMS with a link to create your My Mirror account.

Follow the link to:

  • Create your account

  • Set your password

  • Complete your profile

A GP referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan is not required for Sonder-funded couples therapy.

Step 2: Choose a psychologist and book your appointment

Log in to your account and browse available psychologists.

Once you have found a psychologist you would like to work with:

  1. Select your preferred appointment time

  2. Complete the booking process

  3. Enter your partner's details when prompted

This will automatically send your partner an invitation to create their linked account.

Step 3: Link your accounts

Your partner must accept the invitation and complete their account setup within 72 hours.

Both accounts must be linked at least 72 hours before the first appointment to avoid automatic cancellation.

Step 4: Attend your session

You and your partner can attend:

  • Together on the same device, or

  • Separately from different devices and locations

Simply log in to My Mirror before your appointment to join your secure online session.


For the Invited Partner

Step 1: Accept your invitation

You will receive an email invitation to create a My Mirror account or log in to an existing account.

The invitation remains active for 72 hours.

If it expires, the primary account holder will need to send a new invitation.

Step 2: Complete your account setup

Once your account has been linked, your couples therapy appointments can proceed as scheduled.
