Online Counselling Australia

Life doesn't always make it easy to attend therapy in person.

Whether you're balancing work, parenting, travel, living regionally or simply feel more comfortable in your own space, online counselling offers the same thoughtful, evidence-based support with the flexibility to meet you where you are.

At Ritual Counselling, we provide secure online therapy for individuals, couples and families across Australia.

Support wherever you are

  • You have a busy schedule.
  • You live outside the Gold Coast.
  • You're travelling or working away.
  • You're a parent juggling family life.
  • You feel more comfortable speaking from home.
  • Getting to appointments feels like another thing on your to-do list.
Online therapy might be right for you if...

For many people, yes.

Research continues to show that online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face counselling for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, relationship challenges and life transitions.

The most important part of therapy isn't the room you're sitting in, it's the quality of the relationship you build with your therapist. Our team facilitate thousands of online sessions every year.

Does online therapy actually work?

We offer online support for many of the same concerns as our in-person services, including:

  • Anxiety and overwhelm
  • Trauma
  • ADHD and neurodivergence
  • Relationship challenges
  • Grief and loss
  • Life transitions
  • Parenting support
  • Couples counselling
  • Family therapy

What can we help with?

If you're eligible for a Medicare rebate and have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, telehealth sessions may also be eligible. We're happy to answer any questions before you book.

Can I claim a Medicare rebate for online appointments?

Absolutely. Online sessions work well for many couples and families, particularly when coordinating busy schedules or joining from different locations.

Can couples and families attend online?

Just a stable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable talking.

Do I need any special technology?
