Maintaining good mental health is essential, and having access to support that fits your lifestyle can make a big difference. Online therapy with a psychologist offers a convenient and effective way to receive professional help through telehealth sessions from home. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia, stress, phobias, PTSD, or self-esteem concerns, telehealth provides a flexible and personalised approach to care.
Telehealth is an effective method for treating various mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and insomnia. Recognised by Medicare as a valid therapy option, online therapy allows you to access professional support without leaving home. Research shows that therapy via video is just as effective as in-person sessions.
This approach is especially helpful for those who find it difficult to attend face-to-face appointments due to location, time constraints, or personal preference. An online psychologist can provide evidence-based treatments through telehealth, helping clients develop coping strategies and achieve their mental health goals.
There are several ways to access telehealth services for mental health:
Studies suggest that interactive methods like video and phone consultations are highly beneficial, while passive approaches, such as using mental health apps alone, may be less effective.
Online therapy is a great option for:
Telehealth provides flexibility, accessibility, and evidence-based care without the need for travel. Working with an online psychologist using techniques such as Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is as effective as face-to-face therapy for most conditions. Whether you have a packed schedule or prefer the comfort of home, telehealth ensures you receive high-quality support for your mental health.

All of our clinical psychologists offer sessions by video or phone. You see the same psychologist you would see in our St Leonards rooms, and you can move between online and face-to-face sessions if that suits you. Online sessions are available to people anywhere in Australia, and Medicare rebates apply to telehealth sessions in the same way as face-to-face sessions (with a GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan).
Is online therapy as helpful as face-to-face therapy?
Research suggests video therapy can work as well as face-to-face therapy for many common concerns, such as anxiety and depression. Some people prefer to start in person, and you can choose either.
What do I need for an online session?
A private, quiet space, a phone, tablet or computer, and a reliable internet connection. We’ll send you a link before your appointment.
Can children and teenagers have online sessions?
Yes, many do. For younger children, parents are usually involved in some or all sessions.
