SHARP MINDS PSYCHOLOGY

Telehealth psychology is a type of therapy that is delivered through remote means, such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging.

At Sharp Minds Psychology we have a number of clinicians with different qualifications which affects whether sessions are covered by insurance. To see a psychologist with us, you can use a mental health treatment plan from your GP to be able to access a Medicare Rebate, which allows you to gain back a portion of the cost you pay to see our psychologists. Our counsellors aren’t yet covered by Medicare so they are full fee to see.

The benefits of telehealth therapy include increased accessibility, convenience, and comfort. It also eliminates barriers such as travel time and cost.

In-person therapy and telehealth therapy are similar in that they both aim to provide mental health support to clients. However, telehealth therapy is delivered remotely, while in-person therapy takes place in a physical setting.

Yes, telehealth therapy is confidential and secure. Healthcare providers use secure platforms and comply with privacy laws such as HIPAA to ensure the confidentiality of client information.

You’ll need a device with a camera and microphone, a reliable internet connection, and a private space for the session.

You can schedule a telehealth therapy session by email at admin@sharpmindspsychology.com. You can also enquire about sessions at https://sharpmindspsychology.com/book-an-appointment/

Yes, our psychologists can assess, diagnose, and develop a treatment plan through telehealth therapy, just as they would in an in-person setting.

Telehealth therapy may be right for you if you prefer the convenience and accessibility it provides, or if you have difficulties attending in-person therapy sessions.

If you experience a technical issue during a telehealth therapy session, you should contact our Admin Team for assistance. They may be able to resolve the issue or schedule another session if necessary.
