Australia-Wide Online Sports Psychologists

We are Sport Psychologists who specialise in providing sport and performance psychology to athletes and performers across sport, performing arts, and military environments to clients all over Australia. We use online psychology methods to not only allow access for those in regional and rural areas but it also takes the hassles and inconvenience out of getting to an appointment in a capital city.

How Does Online Psychology Work?

Your appointment will be conducted just like a face-to-face session in that you will be able to see, hear and interact with your psychologist ‘virtually’ for the length of the session. We prefer Zoom video conferencing – as you do not need an account and we can just send you a simple link to follow to start the video chat straight away.

  • We have conducted sessions for clients all over Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Newcastle, Canberra, Hobart and more
  • Online psychology is particularly useful for our rural clients
