Online Psychologist

Welcome to Online Psychology, a Cairns-based digital psychology practice providing online psychological services across Australia.

Have you noticed that when life’s going to plan, we naturally feel more energised? Our motivation is high, creativity flows – we’re in flow and life feels good. There may be challenges along the way but we know we have the strength and confidence to navigate them gracefully. If something interrupts that rhythm, if we encounter one too many speed bumps on our chosen path, it’s easy to stumble. We might start to feel a bit off-kilter, out of sync, stressed or overwhelmed. It can be easy to lose sight of your goals and self-doubt starts to creep in – there is good news though! The inner strength that shows itself during the good times doesn’t evaporate when things get tough. We all have the resources and resilience to deal with whatever speed bumps life sends our way. We sometimes just need a little help to draw those qualities out and find solutions. That’s what a trained psychologist can do: help you (re)discover the tools and strategies to regain that clarity and reconnect with your sense of flow and purpose.

As the digital age revolutionised human communication and relationships, it has also transformed the delivery of health care services. Often referred to as telehealth, the digitisation of healthcare is continuing to grow across both medical and mental health services. Telepsychology, also known as telehealth psychology and online psychology, is the provision of psychological services using telecommunication and data technology systems.

Telepsychology has helped make access to therapy easier, particularly for those who are unable to visit a psychologist’s consulting rooms in person. The importance and potential benefit of telehealth services are emerging, particularly for rural and remote regions of Australia.  In late 2017 the Australian Government recognised the need for online psychology services with the expansion of the Better Access initiative to include telehealth psychology services, allowing greater community access to health professionals via online videoconferencing (as outlined in the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS)). At Online Psychology we offer a professional and confidential telepsychology service, using technology that enables you to access services wherever your location in Australia. You will work with an experienced psychologist who has completed extensive training specifically in telehealth strategies and online counselling. We are passionate about helping you find the tools and strategies to better meet the challenges you may be facing.
