Across Victoria
Telehealth psychology, at your pace.
Online appointments can offer a practical way to access therapy or discuss an assessment pathway from a familiar place, when telehealth is a suitable fit.
A familiar setting
A warm and practical first conversation.
A telehealth session is still a psychology appointment, just held by secure video. You do not need to have everything worked out before you join.
Settle in
Join from a private space where you can be reasonably comfortable and heard.
Start where you are
You can share what has brought you to the appointment, at a pace that feels manageable.
Consider the next step
Talk through what may help, whether telehealth feels suitable, and what could happen next.
Support options
What can telehealth support?
Suitability depends on your goals, clinical needs and the kind of appointment you are seeking. A brief enquiry can help clarify the starting point.
Therapy
Therapy may focus on trauma, anxiety, mood, stress, relationships, neurodivergence and other concerns where online sessions are a good fit.
Assessment pathways
A telehealth discussion can help establish whether ADHD, autism (ASD) or AuDHD assessment may be appropriate, and what format may suit.
ADHD · autism (ASD) · AuDHD
Language access
Appointments may be available in English, Cantonese or Mandarin, depending on suitability and availability.
Choosing the setting
Sometimes an in-person appointment is the better fit.
Online sessions can be useful, but they do not suit every situation. Privacy at home, internet access, assessment requirements and how supported you feel on video can all matter.
If another setting would be more helpful, appointments may be discussed at Essendon North or Footscray.
Before your session
A few simple preparations can help.
Privacy
Choose a place where you can speak freely. Headphones can be useful if other people are nearby.
Technology
A charged device with a camera, microphone and a reasonably stable internet connection is usually enough.
Time after
If you can, leave a little time after the appointment before returning to a demanding task.
