Professional support without needing to come into the office
Telehealth counselling gives you a private way to talk with a Vision therapist from home, work or wherever feels comfortable.
It can be a good option if getting to one of our Perth practices is difficult, your schedule is busy, you live further away, or you simply prefer to have counselling online.
When telehealth can make things easier
Counselling does not always need to happen in the same room. For many people, being able to attend from somewhere familiar makes getting support simpler.
Attend from home
Talk with your therapist from a private space where you feel comfortable, without travelling to an appointment.
Fit counselling around life
Telehealth can work well around work, parenting, travel and other commitments when getting to a practice is difficult.
Access Vision from further away
You can still work with a Vision therapist even if you live outside Perth or are temporarily away from your usual area.
How a telehealth counselling appointment works
The conversation is much the same as an in-person counselling appointment. The main difference is simply where you and your therapist are sitting.
Choose your therapist
Find a therapist who offers telehealth and choose an available appointment time that works for you.
Join from a private space
Use your phone, tablet or computer from somewhere quiet and private where you can talk comfortably.
Talk as you normally would
Your therapist will guide the session just as they would if you were meeting face to face.

Telehealth counselling FAQs
What is telehealth counselling?
Telehealth counselling is a counselling appointment where you and your therapist meet remotely rather than in the same room. Sessions may take place by secure video or, where appropriate, by telephone.
Is telehealth counselling private?
Yes. Your therapist will conduct the appointment privately and confidentially in the same way they would for an in-person session. We recommend that you also choose a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable talking freely.
Can I see a psychologist by telehealth after hours?
Yes. Some telehealth psychology appointments are available outside standard weekday business hours, including Saturday appointments with Rob Orr. Availability can change, so you can view current appointment times online.
Can couples have relationship counselling by telehealth?
Yes. Relationship counselling can be provided by telehealth with therapists who offer online couples appointments. Clark is one of Vision’s therapists who works with both individuals and couples by telehealth.
Can I claim Medicare for telehealth psychology?
Medicare rebates may be available for eligible psychology appointments when you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan and GP referral. Private psychology appointments can also be booked without a referral if you do not intend to claim Medicare.
Can I switch between telehealth and in-person appointments?
Often, yes. Some Vision therapists provide both telehealth and in-person appointments. If this flexibility is important to you, check the therapist’s profile or contact our admin team and we can help you look at the available options.
Can I use telehealth if I live outside Perth?
Yes. Telehealth can make it possible to work with a Vision therapist when you live outside the Perth metropolitan area or are unable to attend one of our practices in person.
