IN ADDITION TO IN-PERSON, WE OFFER
Telehealth Sessions
In addition to in-person services, we also offer online and telehealth sessions for those:
​
-
with a busy schedule,
-
those who live far away,
-
and those who simply prefer being in the comfort of their own home.
​
Telehealth sessions are counselling sessions that are conducted via phone or video, enabling people to access mental health support from anywhere.
WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE TELEHEALTH
Benefits of Online Therapy:
-
Everyone is now eligible to receive a Medicare rebate under a Mental Health Care Plan referral from your GP for up to 10 telehealth sessions at Tender Studio Psychology, making telehealth a cost-effective option.
-
Evidence shows that therapy outcomes from telehealth are just as successful as in-person sessions.
-
Given how hard it is to find the right fit in a psychologist, telehealth services give you access to psychological support wherever you are in the world to ensure continuity of care.
-
Psychology sessions in the comfort of your own home mean more flexibility for your schedule, more convenience, and less travel time and costs.
-
Whether it be from the comfort of your own home, your car, or your favourite spot in nature, telehealth gives you the freedom to choose what location makes you feel safe and at ease.
THE PROCESS
How Telehealth Works
01
For video sessions we use Zoom, which can be used on your phone, tablet, laptop or computer. We have chosen to use Zoom for our telehealth sessions as it meets the strict security criteria recommended by the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
02
You will receive a Zoom link prior to your session. You will need a quiet, private space in which you are not likely to be overheard; an appropriate device, such as a smartphone or laptop; a reliable internet connection; your journal if you find writing notes soothing; a hot cup of tea; your pet; and your comfiest clothes.
03
Finally, both payment and your rebate are easily processed online, meaning you don't have to think about a thing!
We truly believe in the power and comfort that telehealth sessions provide.
You can choose to engage in telehealth for the duration of your therapy or switch between telehealth and in-person sessions each time. This flexibility allows you to prioritise your mental health. The most important thing is fostering the ideal environment where you can heal and grow.
