Accessing Counselling Services in Brisbane
Starting counselling in Brisbane can feel intimidating, especially when you are sharing personal details of your life for the first time.
In Australia, private therapy can be prohibitively expensive, while the public system often prioritises severe or crisis-level cases due to limited resources. Research by the peak body Australian Association of Psychologists backs this up by reporting that cost is the top barrier for clients accessing mental health services.
To address these concerns, our counsellors actively work to provide high-quality, confidential, and private services.
In fact, you and your counsellor will have access to a therapeutic plan. The plan includes:
- A brief on the therapeutic approaches used in the sessions
- A roadmap to track counselling progress and goals
- Clinical impressions of the expert
Moreover, at TYHO, we aim to provide uncompromising support 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.
