Reaching Out to a Psychologist in Perth
Reaching out to a psychologist in Perth for the first time can feel nerve-wracking, especially with long wait times, referral requirements, and uncertainty about costs.
According to a recent study by WA Health, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and refugee communities often face barriers such as stigma, lack of translated materials, under-use of interpreter services, distance and transport issues and less awareness of mental health support. These challenges can make finding the right therapist even harder.
At Talk Your Heart Out, we aim to provide uncompromising and high-quality support to everyone by offering:
Flexible online sessions
Immediate access to high-quality therapy (ie no GP referral needed)
Transparent pricing and discounts for bulk session purchases
A large pool of culturally sensitive Therapists
We’re also working towards integrating Medicare rebates and insurance coverage soon.

3) Are sessions with TYHO psychologists private and confidential?
Yes, TYHO therapy sessions are private and confidential.
Our Perth psychologists adhere to strict professional and ethical standards, thus keeping your sessions confidential. There are, however, certain circumstances in which they may be obliged to share information, for instance, if someone is at risk of harm or if a legally required disclosure is required.
In such situations, your psychologist may inform relevant parties, such as family members, emergency contacts, courts, police, or crisis services. The TYHO platform typically leaves decisions about sharing session information, such as notes or messages, to the psychologist’s professional judgment.
If you have any questions or concerns about confidentiality, you are welcome to raise them with your psychologist at any time.
4) How long is each session and how many sessions will I need with a psychologist in Perth?
At TYHO, each online audio and video session is 60 minutes.
When it comes to the overall number of sessions you will need, there is no universal number. How long you see a psychologist in Perth depends on factors like your needs, goals, mutual effort and the progress you make.
Some clients in Perth may find short-term therapy (6–12 sessions) effective for specific concerns like mild issues or situational stress. In contrast, others may benefit from long-term therapy for deeper issues such as trauma, depression or ongoing relationship struggles.
Psychologists in Perth will work with you to set realistic goals and review your progress regularly. You can always discuss the frequency and expected length of therapy during your early sessions, and also revisit it later on.
5) Can I claim pscyhologist sessions on Medicare?
In order to make our mental health services more accessible, TYHO plans to integrate Medicare in the near future. However, you can still save by availing our bulk purchase discounts.
