online therapy

Mental health support should be flexible, empowering, and affirming of who you are. For many NDIS participants, Therapy Connect offers online psychology, a powerful way to access professional care without leaving home. Whether you’re neurodivergent, living with disability, or navigating life’s emotional challenges, working with an online psychologist in Australia can provide meaningful support that aligns with your values and goals.

Why Choose Online Psychology? 

1. Therapy on Your Terms 
Online psychology gives you more choice over when and where you attend sessions. Whether you’re in a busy household, a remote community, or simply feel more at ease at home, telehealth lets you access care in a space that suits you. 

All you need is a stable internet connection and a device with a camera. No long commutes, no waiting rooms—just meaningful therapy in a setting that supports your wellbeing. 

2. Access to Experienced Psychologists 
With online therapy, you’re not limited to professionals in your local area. You can work with highly skilled online therapists in Australia who specialise in areas such as: 

  • Autism therapy (including affirming, non-pathologising approaches) 
  • Emotional regulation and mental health for neurodivergent individuals 
  • Trauma-informed therapy 
  • Identity development and self-advocacy 

Our team includes experienced autism therapists and neurodiversity-affirming psychologists who understand the lived experiences of NDIS participants. 

3. Comfort Leads to Connection 
Many participants—especially children and young people—feel more comfortable opening up in their own environment. This can lead to stronger engagement and better therapeutic outcomes. 

Our online psychology services are designed to reduce stress and support regulation, especially for those who experience sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or social fatigue. 

4. Continuity of Care, Anywhere in Australia 
Whether you’re travelling, moving, or living in a remote region, Online Psychology Australia ensures uninterrupted support. You don’t have to pause therapy due to location changes—your psychologist travels with you, virtually. 

5. Neuroaffirming, Respectful Support 
We provide therapy that values neurodiversity and focuses on the individual’s strengths, preferences, and goals. Our psychologists don’t aim to “fix” or normalise clients—they aim to understand, support, and empower. 

This is especially important when working with autistic clients or those with other neurological differences. 

How Online Psychology Services Work 

  1. NDIS Plan Review & Access 
    We help you check whether psychology services are funded in your NDIS plan (typically under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living), and support you in getting started smoothly. 
  1. Match with a Registered Psychologist 
    You’ll be matched with a qualified online psychologist who is experienced in working with neurodivergent clients and other client groups who takes a strengths-based, affirming approach to care. 
  1. Telehealth Sessions from Anywhere 
    Sessions are delivered securely online, using video platforms like Zoom at Therapy Connect. Whether you’re at home, at school, or in supported accommodation, you can access therapy from wherever you feel most comfortable. 
  1. Ongoing Collaboration & Reports 
    With your consent, we work alongside your support network—including family, carers, support coordinators, and other allied health providers (such as speech therapists, NDIS dietitians, or occupational therapists online) to provide a coordinated approach. 

Who We Support 

We provide online therapy in Australia for children, teens, and adults with: 

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder 
  • ADHD 
  • Intellectual disability 
  • Anxiety and depression

Why Choose Online Psychology?
