Online psychology for anxiety depression and stress
Speak with a registered psychologist from a private space that works for you. Meyer Institute offers individual therapy by secure video across Australia where clinically suitable, with a clear discussion of goals, fees and next steps.
Support guided by what matters to you
You may want help with worry, avoidance, low mood, stress, burnout, adjustment or sleep-related concerns. The first appointment explores what is happening, how everyday life is affected and what you would like to change. You do not need a diagnosis before making an enquiry.
What sessions can involve
Your psychologist works with you to understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, behaviour and circumstances. Depending on your needs, therapy may involve psychological education, activity and routine planning, coping strategies or structured practice between sessions. The approach and pace are discussed and reviewed with you.
Anxiety and worry
Sessions can explore triggers, worry patterns, avoidance and the effects on work, relationships or daily activities. Agreed goals may involve learning about anxiety, practising coping skills or gradually approaching situations where appropriate. The plan follows an individual assessment.
Low mood and depression
The assessment considers symptoms, daily functioning and relevant history. Therapy may work on routines, activity, patterns of thinking and the factors maintaining difficulties. We review progress together and discuss other clinical input where needed.
Stress burnout and adjustment
Sessions can examine pressures, coping patterns, boundaries, problem-solving and recovery routines. If your concerns arise from a workplace injury and you have a claim, ask about the separate workers compensation pathway so referral and funding requirements can be checked.
Fees and Medicare
A standard individual therapy session is 50 minutes and costs $195. Medicare rebates may apply with an eligible referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan, subject to current item requirements and your remaining entitlement. We confirm the applicable rebate and gap before the appointment. Private enquiries do not require a referral.
Starting telehealth
Send your contact details, state and a brief description of the support you are seeking. We check clinical fit, privacy, technology, fees or funding and appointment options. A reliable connection, camera, microphone and a quiet private space are usually needed. Phone or in-person alternatives can be discussed where suitable.
Frequently asked questions
Is telehealth suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on clinical needs, privacy, communication, technology and risk. We discuss alternatives when video is not an appropriate fit.
Can I claim a Medicare rebate?
Eligible telehealth mental health treatment can attract Medicare benefits with the required referral and other item conditions. We check the applicable requirements and your entitlement before claiming.
How long is a standard session?
A standard individual therapy session is 50 minutes. Different appointment types or funded schemes may have different arrangements, which are explained before booking.
Do I need a GP referral?
Not for a private enquiry or privately paid therapy. A valid eligible referral is needed if you want to claim Medicare benefits.
Can I attend from anywhere?
We offer suitable appointments across Australia. Tell us where you will be physically located for the appointment. Overseas attendance requires a separate review and is not assumed to be available.
Does an enquiry confirm an appointment?
No. We review suitability, fees or funding and available times, then confirm the appointment in writing. This enquiry service is not monitored for emergencies.
