Online Therapy

Online therapy is a highly convenient way to manage your mental health, bridging the gap of nonverbal communication with expert decoding of words, silence, and facial expressions. Studies show it is as effective as face-to-face therapy, with benefits such as after-hours sessions, saving commute time, and immediate availability. It's safe for those with medical concerns and accessible for regional clients, prisoners, fly-in-fly-out workers, older adults, and people with disabilities. At Scope, we meet you where you are. We can't wait to meet you online!

What are the benefits of online therapy?

Emotional Support

Therapy provides a safe, confidential space for you to express your thoughts, feelings, and experiences—free from judgment. For people with neurodevelopmental conditions, this support can be deeply validating, offering an understanding that helps you address challenges specific to your experiences.

Self-awareness

Therapy offers a chance to explore your unique perspectives, thoughts, and emotions. For people with neurodevelopmental conditions, this deeper self-understanding can help you feel more in tune with yourself, build self-acceptance, and make choices that support your well-being and relationships.

Skill Building

Therapy equips you with practical skills and strategies tailored to neurodivergent experiences. These skills can help you manage emotions, tackle challenges, and work toward your goals with greater resilience and adaptability, making life's ups and downs easier to navigate.

Online Therapy Client
"All staff at Scope have been so helpful and accommodating. The clinicians that both myself and my son have seen and the administrative staff have always treated us with kindness and respect. I live in NSW and have had the opportunity to see clinicians locally, however have opted to keep engaging with Scope because of the people and the help you have all provided us. Thank you."
