Online psychologist for regional and rural Australia.
Living a long way from a capital city shouldn't decide whether you can see a psychologist. MeHelp connects people in regional, rural and remote Australia with an AHPRA-registered online psychologist by phone or video, from home or wherever you have a private space.
Psychology by phone or video, wherever you live.
Sessions happen online, so the distance to the nearest consulting room stops being the deciding factor. Video suits you if you have a steady connection. If you don't, a phone session is a simple fallback: your psychologist calls you at the booked time. Evening and weekend times help around harvest, shift work or a long commute.
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports that in 2023 the number of psychologists working clinical hours, relative to population, was highest in metropolitan areas. Online sessions are one way to see a psychologist without that gap getting in the way.
