Online counselling in New South Wales
Public mental health waitlists in New South Wales stretch for months, and they stretch furthest exactly where services are thinnest. Anytime Counselling works remotely across the whole state, so your postcode stops determining how long you wait. You choose your counsellor from qualified Australian practitioners rather than being allocated whoever is free, and you can change to someone else at any time.

Counselling in New South Wales — common questions
- Do you offer counselling in New South Wales?
- Yes. Anytime Counselling works remotely across all of Australia, including New South Wales. Every session runs by phone or secure video, so there is no office to travel to and no waiting room. You choose your counsellor, book a time that suits, and take the session from wherever you feel comfortable.
- How much does counselling cost in New South Wales?
- Sessions are $156 plus $4.25 card processing, for up to 60 minutes with the counsellor you choose. There are no packages and no lock-in contracts. Concession rates are available by arrangement — if cost is the barrier, ask us and we will work with you where we can.
- How soon can I get an appointment?
- Usually within 48 hours. There is no public waitlist and no referral process. Create a free account, choose your counsellor, and book from their live availability — including early mornings, evenings and weekends.
- What time zone are appointments booked in?
- Yours. Appointments in New South Wales are shown and confirmed in AEST/AEDT, so there is no conversion to do and no risk of turning up an hour out.
- Do I need a GP referral or a mental health care plan?
- No. Counsellors are not covered by Medicare the way psychologists are, which means no referral, no care plan, no diagnosis and no drawn-out intake. Some private health funds provide a rebate for counselling, so it is worth checking your policy.
- Can I change counsellors if it is not the right fit?
- Yes, at any time and without having to explain yourself. Because we are not limited to practitioners near New South Wales, switching does not mean starting a new waitlist somewhere else.
