Websites for Sydney psychologists, clinical psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists in private practice, set out so that someone comparing practitioners near them can see what you treat, which schemes you work under and how to start, with the details that only apply in New South Wales put where they belong.
A person looking for therapy in Sydney usually arrives with a shortlist and a funding question. One has a plan from their GP, another has been approved for counselling by Victims Services, a third has a workers compensation claim, and some will pay privately if the fit feels right. The site should answer each of them before they have to ring.
Your private fee and the gap after a Better Access rebate, then each scheme you work under: the NSW Victims Support Scheme, workers compensation, the NDIS or a PHN-funded program. Next to each, one line on what the client has to arrange first, whether that's a GP's plan, a Victims Services approval or an insurer's go-ahead, so nobody books a session they then can't claim.
People approved for counselling under the Victims Support Scheme choose from approved counsellors using a search that filters by location, experience, languages spoken, gender and type of consultation, such as video or phone. If you're approved, your bio says so and lists the same languages and session types, so someone who found you through that search and then opens your site recognises the same practitioner.
If some of your clinicians see people with NSW workers compensation claims, their bios say so, and the fees page notes what a client should sort out with their insurer before the first session. The eligibility test for primary psychological injury claims tightened for injuries notified to the employer from 1 July 2026, so the site links to the official guidance from icare and SIRA instead of trying to explain it.
Counsellors and psychotherapists in NSW practise under the state's code of conduct for non-registered health practitioners, which most must display along with a complaints notice. NSW Health lists the practitioner's website as one place it can go, alongside their premises, so if you hire rooms by the session or see clients only online, a short page linked from the footer can hold both documents.
When the week is split between rooms, say Mondays in Surry Hills and Thursdays in Parramatta, each location gets its own page: the address and level, which days you're there, the nearest station or parking, and a booking link set to that location's calendar in Halaxy, Coreplus or whatever you use. A client can then choose by travel time as well as by practitioner.
Every page carries a line saying the practice isn't a crisis service, with 000 for emergencies, Lifeline on 13 11 14, and the NSW Mental Health Line on 1800 011 511, which is staffed around the clock and links callers with NSW Health mental health services. It isn't a counselling line, so it sits alongside Lifeline rather than replacing it.
Registration is national. Psychologists are registered through Ahpra and the Psychology Board of Australia, so the advertising rules on our main psychologists and counsellors page, such as no testimonials about clinical care and endorsed titles only for those who hold the endorsement, apply to a Sydney practice as they would in Perth. Complaints are handled differently here. When someone complains about a NSW psychologist, the Health Professional Councils Authority notifies both the Psychology Council of New South Wales and the Health Care Complaints Commission, and the two consult and decide which of them deals with it. The Council reports 15,922 registered psychologists in NSW in 2024–25 and 474 complaints received, with clinical care and communication the most frequent subjects. A website plays no part in that process, but fees, cancellation terms and reply times written plainly on it mean a client knows what to expect before the first session.
Counsellors and psychotherapists sit outside Ahpra registration, so in NSW they come under the Code of Conduct for non-registered health practitioners in Schedule 3 of the Public Health Regulation 2022, which the HCCC enforces. Among its requirements, practitioners must not misinform clients about themselves or their practice, and must have and follow policies that protect client confidentiality and privacy. Both bear on a website: on how a bio describes qualifications and memberships, and on what an enquiry form asks for and where it goes. If the HCCC finds a breach that puts the public at risk, it can prohibit a practitioner from providing health services, place conditions on how they practise, or make a public statement warning about them. NSW Health's code of conduct page (opens in a new tab) explains the display requirement, and our Sydney allied health page covers the same code for other professions.
Two state schemes bring clients to private practitioners. Under the Victims Support Scheme, run by Victims Services, eligible victims of violent crime, modern slavery or road crime in NSW can receive up to 22 hours of counselling with an approved counsellor. Registered psychologists, AASW members, level 3 or 4 members of the Australian Counselling Association, PACFA clinical members and some other professionals can apply for approval if they have relevant tertiary qualifications, at least three years' experience, indemnity insurance, a Working with Children Check and a police check from the last 12 months; the scheme's approved counsellor page (opens in a new tab) has the full list. The other is workers compensation. For injuries notified to the employer from 1 July 2026, icare's reform FAQs (opens in a new tab) say a primary psychological injury claim is limited to injury caused by defined traumatic events, such as violence or witnessing a serious incident, or defined conduct events, such as bullying, sexual or racial harassment or excessive work demands, with impairment thresholds for some benefits rising again in 2027 and 2029.
Every Primary Health Network is required to fund short-term psychological therapy for people who are poorly served by Medicare-funded care. In Central and Eastern Sydney that program is Psychological Support Services: free therapy, face to face or by telehealth, for residents of the region with an individual income below $67,000 or a family income below $140,000, referred by a GP or certain other practitioners and delivered through a lead agency, APMHA HealthCare. If you see clients under a program like this, the site needs to explain that those places start with a referral, not with your Book button. Private clients, meanwhile, may be looking for a counsellor in Bondi Junction, a child psychologist in Castle Hill or a psychologist near Parramatta station, so each rooms page names its suburb and how to get there.
We're an Adelaide team and work with Sydney practices by phone and email. We haven't built a psychology or counselling site yet; the two closest projects, one of them for a Sydney practice, are below.
Neither is a mental health practice. Resolve Forward is a Sydney family dispute resolution service whose clients are separating families, and Dr Tabara Dione coaches doctors in confidence from Melbourne. Both sites build the first booking or first contact into the site itself.
A Sydney practice working with separating families. Clients can pick a priced package and book it online, and new clients complete a five-step intake form, a pattern that suits a psychology practice sending new clients its paperwork.

A Melbourne specialist anaesthetist who coaches other doctors one to one. The site explains what a coaching engagement involves, sets out her medical background, and offers a discovery call or a written message as two ways to make first contact.

$399
One practitioner, one location: who you see and how you work, your registration or membership, fees with any Victims Services approval or workers compensation work noted, a booking link and the urgent-help numbers.
Where most Sydney solo practices start
$899
Home, an about page with qualifications and approvals, and a fees page that walks through Better Access, private fees, Victims Services, workers compensation and cancellations. A counsellor's NSW code and notice can sit in the footer.
$1,499
Group practices or rooms in two parts of Sydney: a page per clinician or location with days and transport, pages for your main client groups, a page for GPs and other referrers, fees and contact.
That you're approved under the NSW Victims Support Scheme, on each approved practitioner's bio and on the fees page, along with the languages you consult in and whether you see people in person, by video or by phone, so it matches your entry in the scheme's search. Leave eligibility to Victims Services' counselling page (opens in a new tab) and link to it, since a client's approval comes from the scheme, not from you.
Not necessarily on the website. NSW Health says most practitioners covered by the code must display it and the approved complaints notice either at their premises or on their website, and some are exempt, so check your own setup against its guidance. If the website is where they'll go, send us the current versions and we'll add them as a page linked from every footer. We lay out what you send; we don't give compliance advice.
If you treat workers compensation clients, yes, but keep it to what you do: which clinicians see these clients, and what a client should sort out with their insurer before booking. The eligibility test for primary psychological injury claims changed for injuries notified to the employer from 1 July 2026, with further changes staged after that, so a link to icare's or SIRA's guidance beats a summary that could go out of date. When a clinician starts or stops taking these clients, updating their bio is a text change covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
With a page for each location listing who is there on which days, the address and level, parking or the nearest station, and a booking link that opens that location's calendar. Each clinician's bio lists their own locations and days as well. Two locations and a handful of clinicians usually fit the 8-page site at $1,499.
Usually not directly. Programs such as Central and Eastern Sydney PHN's Psychological Support Services need a referral, most often from a GP through an eReferral form, before sessions start. If you deliver sessions under one, the fees page explains who might be eligible and how referral works, and your ordinary booking link stays for private and Better Access clients.
