Online counselling in Sydney
Sydney has plenty of counsellors and still has a waiting problem, because the ones taking new clients are rarely the ones near you, and getting across the city for a 5pm appointment costs most of an afternoon. Talking by phone or video removes the commute entirely — the session happens at home, in the car before you drive off, or on a walk.

How it works from Sydney
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/AEDT — 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 Sydney — common questions
- Do you offer counselling in Sydney?
- Yes. Anytime Counselling works remotely across all of Australia, including Sydney, 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 Sydney?
- 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 Sydney 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 Sydney, switching does not mean starting a new waitlist somewhere else.
