Online therapy in Australia

A therapist who fits your week

Choose your own therapist and meet online, wherever you are in Australia. Evenings and early mornings included.

Outside the big cities, the nearest therapist can be hours away, and even in them the wait for an appointment can be long. Online therapy shortens the distance to zero: choose someone, pick a time, and begin from home.

Why online

The country's too big for geography to decide

Australia's distances make in-person therapy a real logistical problem for anyone outside a capital city — and even inside one, a Medicare-subsidised place can take a while. Online removes the travel entirely. You choose from every therapist working in your language, pick a time in your own zone, and meet from home. For anyone regional or remote, this is often the only practical way to see the same therapist every week.

The session doesn't change. Whether it happens does.

What we work with

What brings people here

  • Anxiety and constant low-level dread

    The worry that doesn't attach itself to anything in particular, and doesn't switch off when the day ends.

  • Depression and flatness

    Including the kind that is hard to justify, because on paper nothing is wrong.

  • Burnout and exhaustion

    When the job stopped being difficult and started being impossible, and you kept going anyway.

  • Grief

    After a death — but also after a marriage, a career, a friendship, or a version of yourself.

  • Relationships and family

    Including the arguments that are never really about what they appear to be about.

  • Loneliness

    You can be lonely in the town you grew up in, surrounded by people who have known you for thirty years.

This is not a complete list. If what you're carrying isn't on it, that changes nothing — therapy starts with you, not with a label.

How it works

Three steps, no GP plan

You read the profiles and choose your own therapist. You pick a time from the hours they have open, shown in your own time zone. And you meet by video call, from wherever you are. No Mental Health Care Plan required, no waiting list. Each profile shows the fee up front.

About Wefeel

What Wefeel is — and what it isn't

Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.

We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.

Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.

Common questions

Do I need a GP Mental Health Care Plan?

No. You arrange the session directly. Nothing goes through Medicare.

Is the therapist registered here?

Each profile states where the therapist is qualified to practise. If registration in your state matters, ask before booking.

Is online therapy effective?

For most of what people bring, research finds no meaningful difference versus in person.

What if it's not the right fit?

Choose another therapist, any time.

Is it confidential?

Yes — subject to the usual legal and professional limits.
