How online therapy works
Assessments that give you clear answers.
Sometimes the most helpful thing is clarity. Our assessments are thorough, explained in plain language, and come with a written report and practical recommendations you can actually use.
Getting started is simple.
- 01
Reach out
Book online in a few minutes, or ask us about availability. You do not need a referral to book a private session.
- 02
Get matched
We match you with a registered psychologist suited to what you are working through, your preferences and your availability.
- 03
Begin at your pace
Meet by secure video from home. There is no pressure and no judgement, just a conversation that moves at the speed that suits you.
A conversation at your pace.
“Taking the first step is the hardest part. We will make the rest easy.”
Your first session is a chance to talk through what has brought you here and what you would like to be different. Your psychologist will listen, ask a few questions to understand the full picture, and work with you on where to go next. Therapy can help you understand and manage what you are going through, and build skills that carry over into everyday life. Everyone is different, so the work is shaped around you rather than a formula.
If you would like a Medicare rebate, you will need a referral and a mental health treatment plan from your GP. If you would rather start sooner, you can book a private session today and sort the referral out afterwards. Either way, the first move is the same, and it is a small one.

Ways to fund your sessions.
There are a few ways to pay for therapy, and we keep each one clear so there are no surprises.
Medicare
With a GP referral and a mental health treatment plan, you may be eligible for a rebate on up to ten individual sessions a calendar year. Medicare rebates part of the fee and you pay the gap. For a session with a registered psychologist, the rebate is $101.55, so on a $245 session you are about $143.45 out of pocket.
