Online counselling and psychotherapy has become well-accepted in the last few years and has proven to beneficial for individuals with disabilities. The benefits are most pronounced for individuals with disabilities which impede mobility and challenges their abilities to travel for in-person therapy. NDIS funds can be used for Telehealth psychology and counselling sessions. They can also be used for behaviour support.

Besides reducing accessibility issues, online counselling have additional benefits, including the option to receive therapy from the comfort of one's home, which can enhance the individual's sense of safety to discuss private and personal challenges with their therapists. NDIS Telehealth sessions also allows individuals to select from a wider range of therapists without being constrained by their locality - individuals can now chose from therapists across the whole of Australia. This can increase the odds of finding therapists who are better suited to an individual's unique needs.

The psychologists at CFHP are experienced in delivering different modalities of therapies via online counselling and Telehealth platforms. CFHP team of multi-cultural and multilingual psychologists are also well positioned to providing services to culturally and linguistically diverse Australians.
