Online psychology
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.
You do not need to have everything worked out before you join. A brief enquiry can help clarify whether an online appointment or an in-person setting may suit your needs.
A familiar setting
A warm and practical first conversation.
Settle in
Join from a private space where you can be reasonably comfortable and heard.
Start where you are
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.
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 or AuDHD assessment may be appropriate and what format may suit.
Language access
Appointments may be available in English, Cantonese or Mandarin, depending on suitability and availability.
Choosing the setting
Online sessions 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 choosing online
- Can you speak privately and comfortably?
- Is your device, camera, microphone and connection reliable enough?
- Would an in-person appointment offer more support for this question?
Compare appointment settings
It is okay to ask which format may be more suitable before booking.
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 reasonably stable internet connection is usually helpful.
Time after
If you can, leave a little time after the appointment before returning to a demanding task.
