FAQs

What Does My Teen Need for Their Psychology Session?

Getting set up is simple. Here’s what you’ll need to help your teen feel ready and comfortable:

  • A quiet, private space where your teen feels safe and can talk openly

  • A device with a camera and microphone (like a laptop, tablet or phone)

  • A stable internet connection so the session runs smoothly

  • Any comfort items your teen might like nearby – a toy, drink, or something familiar

  • Headphones (optional, but great for privacy or focus)

If it’s your teen’s first session, we recommend sitting nearby in case they need help getting started. After that, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

A Telehealth psychologist for teens is a registered psychologist who provides therapy online for adolescents. Using secure video sessions, they support young people to manage their mental health, build resilience, and develop coping strategies in a safe and accessible way.


Yes. With a GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan, your teen may be eligible for Medicare rebates for Telehealth psychology. NDIS funding may also cover therapy if it supports their plan goals. Some private health funds also provide rebates.

Teenagers today face unique challenges such as school stress, social pressures, bullying, family changes, and mental health concerns like anxiety or depression. Telehealth psychologists help teens:

  • Manage stress and overwhelm

  • Build confidence and self-esteem

  • Improve emotional regulation

  • Develop problem-solving and coping strategies

  • Strengthen family and peer relationships

Yes. Research shows online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for most adolescent mental health concerns. Many teens actually feel more comfortable opening up online, as it can feel less intimidating than sitting in a clinic room.

Telehealth psychologists can support teens with:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Depression and low mood

  • Friendship and peer difficulties

  • Bullying (including cyberbullying)

  • Self-esteem and body image concerns

  • Stress, study pressure, and exam anxiety

  • Family conflict or parental separation

  • Grief and adjustment difficulties

Yes. Depending on the teen’s age and goals, parents may be involved at the start or end of sessions, or through regular updates. Psychologists balance supporting the teen’s independence with ensuring families feel informed and supported.

Absolutely. All sessions are confidential and conducted on encrypted platforms that comply with Australian privacy standards. Psychologists also discuss with parents and teens what confidentiality means, so everyone feels safe and supported.

Your teen will need:

  • A computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access

  • A private, quiet space for the session

  • Headphones if they prefer added privacy

  • A notebook and pen for strategies or exercises

It may be time to seek support if your teen:

  • Feels persistently sad, anxious, or withdrawn

  • Struggles with school attendance or performance

  • Experiences big mood swings or anger outbursts

  • Has changes in sleep or eating patterns

  • Avoids friends, family, or activities they used to enjoy

  • Talks about feeling hopeless or worthless

Yes – research shows that telehealth psychology is just as effective as in-person sessions for most children, teens, and adults.

Our psychologists are trained specifically in delivering care online, using creative and engaging techniques to build strong connections with kids and teens through a screen. Many families even find it more convenient and less stressful, no travel, no waiting rooms, and your teen can talk from the comfort of home.

If at any point it isn’t working for your teen, we’ll work with you to adjust the approach. Our goal is to make therapy feel safe, supportive, and effective, no matter the setting.

Finding the right psychologist is so important, especially for a teenager. If something doesn’t feel quite right, we absolutely want to hear about it.

Just let us know, and we’ll happily rematch your child with a different psychologist who might be a better fit for their personality, needs, or communication style. There’s no awkwardness or pressure, we’re here to make sure your teen feels safe, supported, and truly heard.

Your child’s comfort and progress are our top priorities.

Yes, absolutely.

Your child’s privacy is incredibly important to us. All telehealth sessions are conducted through secure, encrypted platforms, and any personal information shared is kept strictly confidential.

Our psychologists follow professional and legal guidelines to protect your family’s privacy. The only time information would be shared is if there are serious safety concerns, and even then, we’ll always aim to involve you where appropriate.

You can feel confident knowing your child’s sessions are safe, private, and handled with care.

The first appointment is all about building trust and getting to know your child. The psychologist will gently explore what brought your family to therapy, how your child communicates best, and what day-to-day life looks like for them. For younger children or those who need more support, parents may be more involved in this session.

Yes. After the session, we’ll provide a brief summary, share our recommendations moving forward, and give you the option to book follow-up sessions straight away. We’ll also check in to see how the session felt for you and your child.
