Sydney Online Therapy
Although telehealth services in Australia may seem new, it has been available for many years. In fact, there have been studies showing that for some mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, it can be just as good as face to face therapy. Of course, how someone engages with and responds to online therapy varies, and this may all depend on individual circumstances and needs, but I welcome people who want mental health treatment to just give it a go. There are many benefits to video sessions, and I really appreciate that people of all abilities are able to access psychological services. As a telehealth psychologist, I have seen people whilst they have been at work, at home, and at social events. No longer is it necessary to take extended time off work, find transport, and travel out. So long as it is possible to slip away for about 50 minutes and there is a comfortable and confidential environment, telehealth sessions is possible! Personally, I really enjoy offering psychological services and therapy online all over Australia, as the flexibility allows me to offer mental health treatment to my fullest capacity and as such I can fit in more things in during the day. This allows me to balance my life, and this brings me real joy. Contact us to connect with a telehealth Psychologist online.

Myths about online therapy
Telehealth therapy is a lazy way to do therapy
This is not true. With the convenience of video sessions, the stress of travel and scheduling is minimised, allowing people to focus more on the active work of therapy.
Online therapy is not effective
Recent research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions, especially for issues such as anxiety and depression. However, online therapy may not be suitable for every case. If you're unsure whether it's right for you, feel free to contact us to discuss your needs.
Psychologists who provide online therapy are inexperienced or lazy
This is a misconception. Many telehealth Psychologists choose online therapy for the flexibility it offers, allowing them to continue providing valuable services while managing other life responsibilities. Our Clinical Psychologist brings over 14 years of experience, having worked with both Health and in private practice.
You cannot form a humanistic connection through video sessions
While face-to-face interaction can certainly add value to the therapeutic process, building a meaningful, authentic connection with your therapist is very much possible in online therapy. The quality of the therapeutic relationship remains strong, regardless of how it is accessed.
