Online counselling

Online counselling in Tasmania

Tasmania has some of the longest waits for mental health support in the country, and outside Hobart and Launceston the options thin out quickly. Anytime Counselling is delivered remotely, so where you live on the island does not change what is available to you — and you are not limited to whoever happens to practise nearby.

How it works from Tasmania

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 Tasmania — common questions

Do you offer counselling in Tasmania?
Yes. Anytime Counselling works remotely across all of Australia, including Tasmania. 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 Tasmania?
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 Tasmania 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 Tasmania, switching does not mean starting a new waitlist somewhere else.
