    How we help you find the right clinician

    We have practices across Sydney, the coast and the Illawarra, and a full telehealth team. Our intake specialists know who works with what, and they will point you to the right person, whether that is near home, near work or online.

    Step 1

    A person answers the phone

    Call us weekdays between 9am and 6pm and one of our intake team picks up. They will ask what is going on and talk you through the options before you commit to anything.

    Step 2

    We match you to a clinician

    The fit between you and your therapist is the strongest thing we know of for making therapy work. We match on what you are facing, the approach you prefer, gender, language and how far you can travel.

    Your booking is scheduled

    We confirm your booking in writing so that you know when and where you’ll be meeting your new therapist.

    The guide

    Why commute?
    Online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy.

    Counselling is a proven way to help you overcome anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

    Studies show that you don’t have to do therapy in person to reap its benefits, online sessions work just as well.

    So skip the traffic, parking, and waiting rooms. Join from home, work, or on the go with flexible hours to suit your schedule. That means less hassle and more energy for the work that matters.

    Our registered counsellors have been supporting clients for over 25 years and can help you make changes to create a more fulfilling life. You’ll learn how to manage your thoughts, emotions, and unhelpful patterns through difficult times.

    The goal? Lasting change that continues well beyond each session.

    It takes courage to show up for therapy. We’ll meet you there with care that’s private, flexible, and designed to fit your life.

    Let us find the right counsellor for you.

    Starting therapy can feel daunting. Our matching process takes the pressure off by guiding you to a great fit.

    Personalised match

    We listen to what you’re dealing with and connect you with a counsellor whose experience aligns with your needs.

    Questions

    Online Psychologists Australia

    Is online treatment with a psychologist as good as face-to-face treatment?

    Yes, numerous peer-reviewed studies show that online therapy results in similar therapeutic outcomes as those gained from face-to-face therapy for mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression.

    It’s best to find an online psychologist from a reputable platform such as Associated Counsellors & Psychologists so you know you’re connecting with a registered and pre-vetted mental health professional.

    Can I move between online and face-to-face sessions with a psychologist?

    Yes, Associated Counsellors & Psychologists can connect you with a suitable therapist who offers both online and in-person services near you.

    This is an excellent option for many people during these difficult times as getting to an in-person appointment may be harder than normal. Please get in touch and we will get back to you with recommendations.

    Can I consult a psychologist online in Australia?

    Yes, many psychologists in Australia offer online therapy, and accessing mental health support online is becoming more popular both here and worldwide.

    There’s a wealth of evidence showing that online therapy is as effective at treating certain mental health issues and conditions as in-person therapy. If you’d like to try online sessions with a psychologist to see if it suits you, please get in touch with us.

    Are online psychologists legitimate?

    Yes, psychologists who work with clients online are providing a legitimate service. Online psychologists are required to maintain the same level of training and practice standards as psychologists working face to face.

    Of course, as with anything online, there is the potential for people to misrepresent their skills or training. It’s always wise to check that the online psychologist you intend to work with is registered with a governing body here in Australia.

    Or access online psychologist services through a trusted network such as Associated Counsellors & Psychologists. All of the psychologists in our network are pre-vetted by us, so you can ensure you’re receiving quality mental health care from a licensed professional.

    Can virtual psychologists prescribe medication?

    No, psychologists are unable to prescribe medication, whether they’re working with a client virtually or in person. In Australia, as with many other places in the world, only medical doctors like General Practitioners and Psychiatrists can prescribe medication to treat or manage mental health conditions and issues

    Can an online psychologist diagnose me?

    Yes, psychologists can make a diagnosis of a mental health condition, whether they’re working with a client online or in face-to-face sessions. General practitioners may also diagnose certain mental health conditions (such as depression or anxiety) or they may refer their patients to a psychologist.

    It’s important to remember, though, that diagnosis is only one aspect of treatment. Some psychologists prefer to not diagnose unless their client wants a concrete opinion. The reason for this is to avoid potentially stigmatising labels, and also to prevent clients from seeing themselves as ‘ill.’

    For those clients who want a diagnosis to gain a concrete idea of the issue, psychologists working online or in-person can offer this.

    How much does an online psychologist cost?

    The cost of an online session with a psychologist starts from $180 with Associated Counsellors & Psychologists. A Medicare or health fund rebate may apply. Please contact us to find out more.

    Online sessions with a psychologist are priced very similarly to in-person sessions because the only difference is the setting, you still receive the same level of care and for the same duration per session.

    Do online psychologists in Australia bulk bill?

    Some psychologists offering online services may bulk bill, but as a general rule, it is increasingly difficult to access bulk billing for therapy with a psychologist in Australia.

    Associated Counsellors & Psychologists does not offer bulk billing at this time, however, we can arrange online therapy with a psychologist who offers Medicare rebates. You can find more information here.

    What’s the difference between a psychologist and a therapist?

    Therapist is an umbrella term that encompasses mental health professionals who work with clients, including counsellors and psychologists. While both are therapists, there are a few differences between the two.

    In Australia, accredited psychologists must hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology or Psychological Science and a Master’s degree or a PhD in Psychology. Accredited counsellors must hold a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling or an equivalent qualification.

    It’s important to note that the educational division as it relates to a therapist’s title (be it counsellor or psychologist) doesn’t always mean that the latter is more highly trained. There are plenty of counsellors who hold PhDs and just as many psychologists who hold a Master’s.

    Psychologists are also able to diagnose mental health conditions and disorders while counsellors do not. Often though, this isn’t of importance as many psychologists prefer to avoid diagnoses as they can be stigmatising.

    Counsellors can help with a broad variety of mental health challenges and are the first choice for many Australians seeking therapy. If you need a Medicare rebate, though, a psychologist is the best option.

    Do I need a referral for online psychology in Australia?

    No, you don’t need a referral to receive online therapy sessions from a psychologist in Australia. However, if you would like to receive a Medicare rebate for these sessions, you will need a referral from your general practitioner.

    If I see an online psychologist, does it go on my Medicare record?

    Only if you’re accessing a Medicare rebate for the online psychologist’s services. If you do not access a rebate and opt to pay the full cost privately, this will not be recorded on your Medicare record.

    Is seeing an online psychologist worth it?

    Yes, if you’re struggling with a mental health condition an online psychologist is a great way to get support. If you just need someone to talk to about a specific life challenge, or just want to talk through some feelings, a counsellor may be a better option.

    Before you book

    Do I need a referral?

    No referral is needed to start. For Medicare rebates, ask your GP about a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Please speak to our team about your options.

    How soon can I get an appointment?

    Most new clients are seen within days, sooner by telehealth. Many of our practices offer early morning, evening and weekend appointments, and our intake team will find the times that suit you.

    Can I see someone in person or online?

    Yes, you can choose either. You can see a clinician at one of our practices across Sydney, the coast and the Illawarra, or by video from anywhere in Australia, and many clients switch between the two.

    What happens in the first session?

    Your clinician listens to what’s brought you in, asks about your goals, and agrees to a plan with you. There is never any pressure to share more than you’re ready to.

    What are the fees, and can I claim Medicare?

    Sessions run for 55 minutes, and the fee depends on who you see. Counsellors start from $150, social workers and psychologists from $200, and clinical psychologists from $230. With a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, a Medicare rebate may apply to sessions with a psychologist or a registered mental health social worker, so please speak to our staff about your options.

    Associated Counsellors Sydney helped me to quickly find myself an online therapist and book me in. I am so used to working with people from home, it made more sense to see someone online that go out. They take care of you, asking only the important questions, and make sure their recommendations suit you as best as possible.

    I’ve been putting off therapy because I couldn’t be bothered but Counsellors Sydney did all the hard work for me. You just submit a form and have a quick chat on the phone and then they send you a list of candidates that suit your needs! So quick and efficient and I’m sure they have recommended some great psychologists. I have my first online session tomorrow.

    I have needed to switch therapists for a long time now but didn’t know where to find the specific one I needed until I came to Counselors Sydney. They found me a suitable new psychologist so quickly! I was really happy that it's now standard for most psychologists to provide an online service.
