TELEHEALTH SERVICES
Counselling and supervision can can be provided via telephone or video. If you are not able to attend in person due to restrictions, distance or transport concerns, then an online or telephone session might be the ideal solution. Telehealth services can be accessed as a full fee paying client, or via Medicare or other types of funding, see details on Fees and Rebates page.
Are Telehealth services effective?
Counselling or supervision via telephone or video has been found to be as effective as face-to-face appointments in many studies. In some cases, Telehealth may not be the best treatment for you; this can be explored during our initial telephone consultation.
