Online counselling

Online counselling in Queensland

Queensland is large enough that "your nearest counsellor" can be several hours away, and for many communities that is where the conversation ends. Because Anytime Counselling is delivered entirely by phone and video, distance stops being the deciding factor. Queensland does not observe daylight saving, and we book in your local time — you will never be caught out by an hour that moved.

How it works from Queensland

There is nowhere to travel to. You create a free account, read the profiles of our qualified Australian counsellors, and choose the person who feels right. Book from their live availability — shown in AEST (no daylight saving) — then take the session by phone or secure video from home, the car, or on a walk. All you need is a phone and somewhere private.

Counselling in Queensland — common questions

Do you offer counselling in Queensland?
Yes. Anytime Counselling works remotely across all of Australia, including Queensland. 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 Queensland?
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 Queensland are shown and confirmed in AEST (no daylight saving), 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 Queensland, switching does not mean starting a new waitlist somewhere else.
