Welcome to the Online Counselling Clinic Australia Wide Counselling Services
Feeling nervous about counselling is completely understandable, especially if you have never spoken to someone before. You do not need to have the right words, know where to start, or be ready to share everything at once. Your first session is simply a safe, private conversation where you can go at your own pace, ask questions and talk about whatever feels comfortable. There is no judgement, no pressure and no expectation to have everything figured out. Sometimes the hardest part is simply making the first appointment — and from there, you do not have to navigate things alone.
1. You Don’t Need a Referral
Book directly without waiting for a GP referral or Mental Health Plan.
2. Start From the Comfort of Home
Access professional counselling online, with no travel, waiting rooms or extra disruption to your day.
3. Flexible Appointments That Fit Your Life
Choose appointment times that work around your work, family and other commitments.
4. Confidential, Professional Support
Talk openly in a private, non-judgmental space with a qualified Australian counsellor.
5. Your First Session Is FREE
Start with a free initial online session, ask questions and see whether counselling feels right for you — with no pressure to continue.
Best thing about speaking to a counsellor remotely? You won’t run into us in real life! We don't mean to brag, but… we’re experts at keeping secrets. It’s basically what we do best. We create a space where you can be your true self—no masks, no pretences. That’s the power of online counselling!
Whatever you are carrying, you can bring it to us and feel supported - You won’t shock us. You won’t be too much. And you don’t have to make your story easier for someone else to hear. Our role is not to judge you, rush you, fix you or tell you how you should feel. It is to provide a safe, confidential space where you can finally put some of the weight down, be genuinely heard and begin making sense of what you have been carrying.
No pressure. No awkward follow-up calls. No commitment.
You don’t have to wait until things become overwhelming. Book a free online counselling session today. No lock-in contracts. No complicated process. Just flexible online counselling with the option to continue with the same counsellor each session. After your first FREE counselling session, the choice is completely yours. We won’t chase you, pressure you to rebook, or fill your inbox with follow-ups. If it feels right, you can continue. If it doesn’t, that’s okay too. Ready to feel a little lighter? Start today with a FREE counselling session.
If stress, anxiety, overwhelm or difficult emotions are affecting your everyday life, professional online counselling can give you a private, supportive space to talk, reflect and move forward.
You Don’t Have to Protect Us From Your Story - We have the capacity to sit with the hard stuff.
We are experienced in sitting with people through some of the hardest parts of life — trauma, abuse, grief, shame, fear, relationship breakdown, overwhelm, and the things you may never have felt able to say out loud. You do not need to protect us from your story, make it sound better, or worry that it is “too much.” We have the professional capacity to listen, stay present and give you space to unload what you have been carrying. Counselling can be the safe place where you finally get to put it down for a while — to speak freely, be heard without judgement and have someone sit beside you while you make sense of what has happened and what comes next.

Private Support for Life’s Hardest Moments
Professional support for you, your relationship, or both.
Private Support for Life’s Hardest Moments
You have probably spent a long time carrying this on your own, telling yourself you will deal with it later, hoping things will settle down, or convincing yourself that other people have it worse. But you do not have to wait until you are completely overwhelmed before you reach out.
One conversation can be enough to change the direction of things. You do not need the right words. You do not need to explain everything perfectly. You do not even need to know exactly what you need yet. You simply need somewhere safe to start. With private online counselling, you can speak openly with a qualified professional who has the time and capacity to really listen — without judgement, pressure or expectation. You can talk about the things you have been holding in, make sense of what has been happening and start working out what comes next.
No referral. No lock-in. No waiting room. Just confidential, personalised support from your own space, with the opportunity to continue with the same counsellor.
Making the first appointment can feel like the hardest part. But once you have made it, you have already taken an important step towards putting some of the weight down.
You have carried it long enough. Make the call. Book the session. Give yourself the chance to be heard.
When Talking at Home Just Isn’t Working
Professional support for you, your relationship, or both.
Private Support for Life’s Hardest Moments
You do not have to wait until your relationship is at breaking point to ask for help. If conversations keep turning into arguments, you feel more like housemates than partners, trust has been damaged, or you simply cannot seem to reach each other anymore, couples counselling can give you both a different place to start. You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what is wrong or how to fix it. You do not need to agree on everything. You simply need a willingness to have the conversation. With private online couples counselling, you have a structured, neutral space where both people can be heard. Your counsellor can help slow difficult conversations down, identify the patterns you keep getting stuck in, and support you to communicate more clearly about what is really happening underneath the conflict. Bring the arguments. Bring the silence. Bring the resentment, hurt, betrayal, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, life changes, disconnection or the conversation you have been avoiding for months.
We can sit with the difficult conversations. You do not have to work them out alone.
No referral. No lock-in. No waiting room. Just confidential, professional support from the privacy of your own space.
Your relationship does not have to be “bad enough” to deserve support. Make the appointment. Start the conversation. See what becomes possible when you finally have the space to really hear each other.
Professional support for you, your relationship, or both.
Professional support for you, your relationship, or both.
Professional support for you, your relationship, or both.
When you’re exhausted from holding it together, arguing in circles, shutting down, or pretending you’re okay, you need somewhere you can stop performing and be real.
Whether it’s you, your relationship, or both, counselling gives you a private space to say what’s really going on and start working through it.
You can bring the anxiety you can’t switch off. The relationship that feels like it’s falling apart. The trauma you rarely talk about. The anger, grief, resentment, loneliness, burnout, betrayal, fear or the feeling that you’ve simply lost yourself somewhere along the way.
You don’t have to make it sound better than it is. You don’t have to protect us from the difficult parts. And you don’t have to know how to fix it before you come.
Sometimes you need a place to finally say, “This is what’s really happening.”
A place where someone has the time and professional capacity to listen without judgement, help you make sense of what you’re carrying, and support you as you work out what needs to change.
Come alone. Come together. Come unsure of where to even begin.
Whatever is happening behind closed doors, behind the arguments, or behind the “I’m fine” — there is space to talk about it here.

Online Counselling Clinic Australia offers a variety of counselling services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy.
As someone seeking counselling or mental health support, you have the freedom to choose who you want to work with. If you contact us for counselling, we’ll review your needs and create a personalized plan to guide your journey.
Unlike psychologists, counsellors have no reporting obligations to your referring GP. However, if you would like us to communicate with your GP, we can do so with your written consent.
Currently, counsellors are not eligible for the Medicare Better Access Scheme, which means we are unable to offer Medicare rebates. For more details, please refer to our FAQ titled, “Can we claim Medicare?”
We’re here to support you on your mental health journey, offering confidential, flexible private care tailored to your needs.
At this stage, counsellors are not part of the Medicare Better Access Scheme. However, if you were to see a psychologist, you would still need to pay a gap fee, as very few psychologists bulk-bill Medicare.
In 2023, the Medicare rebate for psychologists ranges from $89 to $131 for clinical psychologists, but the Australian Psychological Society's recommended session fee is $280. This means you may be out-of-pocket anywhere between $130 to $190 per session.
Additionally, under the Better Access Scheme, most people are limited to just 10 sessions per calendar year for psychology services (with a higher allowance for eating disorders). This limitation can make it difficult to receive consistent, ongoing care.
There’s also the issue of long waiting lists—particularly in rural, regional, and remote areas of Australia, where waits can range from 8 weeks to 6 months.
Another consideration is that once you go to your GP for a Mental Health Plan, it’s added to your health record. This can affect various aspects of your life, such as insurance, job applications, and even things like applying for a passport, especially if a medical is required.
Why Choose Counselling Instead of a Medicare-funded Psychologist?
For less than the gap fee you might pay with a psychologist, you can see a counsellor (depending on their experience) quickly and discreetly.
While counsellors cannot accept Mental Health Care Plans (MHCPs), we don’t consider that a downside. Here’s why:
- Self-referral: You can choose your own practitioner and start therapy immediately.
- Unlimited sessions: You can attend as many sessions as needed, without restrictions.
- No diagnosis: We don’t provide a formal diagnosis, which means it won’t be added to your medical record and affect other areas of your life.
- Confidentiality: Your therapy records stay private and aren’t shared with third parties or insurers.
Choose a more flexible, private, and hassle-free option with counselling that works for you.
Yes, counsellors are bound by a strict code of ethics, and confidentiality is at the heart of everything we do. We cannot release your information without your explicit consent.
However, there are some exceptions to confidentiality, which include:
- Subpoenas – If required by law, we may be legally obligated to disclose information in response to a subpoena.
- Mandatory Reporting – In some cases, we may be required to report certain information, such as suspected abuse or neglect.
- Risk of Harm to Self or Others – If we believe there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, we may need to take action to ensure safety.
These exceptions to confidentiality are clearly explained in the agreement you’ll receive when you book your session. Rest assured, your privacy is always respected, and we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information.
Absolutely! All organisations and businesses, including our counselling services, are required to comply with Australian Privacy Legislation. This means we adhere to strict standards regarding how we handle, store, and protect your personal information.
We are committed to maintaining your privacy and confidentiality in line with these laws, ensuring that your personal details are secure and used only for the purpose of providing you with the best possible care. If you have any questions about how your information is managed or our privacy policies, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to ensure your peace of mind .

Whether life feels overwhelming or you're managing everyday stress, our online counselling service ensures you can get the help you need from the comfort of your own space, whenever it fits into your schedule.

Here’s how we ensure your anonymity and safety:
- Nickname Use: You can choose a nickname that will be the only identifier your therapist uses when communicating with you. This ensures you feel more comfortable and secure, avoiding the exposure you might experience in a physical waiting room or therapist’s office.
- Emergency Contact Protocol: While maintaining your anonymity, we do require an emergency contact in case your therapist has concerns about your immediate safety. This information is securely stored and only accessed if absolutely necessary.
Are you ready to begin therapy with the confidence of knowing your privacy is protected? Online Counselling Clinic offers a safe and private space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges, all while ensuring your identity remains confidential.
