Frequently asked questions 
Are all your psychologists fully registered?
Yes, all our psychologists and clinical psychologists are fully registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
We carefully vet all our therapists to ensure they meet our high standards of care and professionalism. You can view their qualifications on their profile before booking a session.
All our counsellors are also fully qualified and registered with either the Australian Counselling Association (ACA Level 3+) or the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA, Clinical).
How much does it cost?
Sessions range from $150 to $260 depending on the type of therapist. With a Medicare rebate, your out-of-pocket cost can be as low as $110 per 50 minute session. See our pricing page for details.
What criteria do you use to individually approve each therapist?
Every psychologist and counsellor on Talked must meet a strict standard of qualifications, experience and professional conduct. We only take a small percentage of applicants who apply to be on our platform.
The Talked team individually interviews each therapist and conducts reference checks to ensure they uphold the highest standards in ethical care and work.
Can I book my Talked psychologist before getting a Medicare referral?
Yes, you'll just need to ensure you have your Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral before (or on the same day) as your first session to ensure you get your Medicare rebate.
What does a Talked therapy session look like?
Once you've booked a session on Talked, you'll be able to access your Talked account and connect with your therapist via video call in a single click.
In your Talked account you'll be able to complete your intake form, manage reschedules and access session notes.
Your therapist will guide you through your first session, providing a safe and supportive space to talk through what's on your mind and work with you to develop a plan for moving forward.
How do you ensure I get matched with the best therapist for me?
To ensure you don't spend money on the wrong therapist, we encourage you to book a free 15 minute consultation with a therapist to see if they're a good fit before committing to a full session.
You may also message all our psychologists and counsellors directly before booking a session to discuss how they might be able to support you.
We help match you with the best therapist for you, by making it easy to filter therapists based on your unique needs and preferences, as well as offering a personalised matching tool that gives you a tailored recommendation based on your specific situation.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a counsellor?
Counsellors and psychologists are both professionals who offer mental health support, often referred under the umbrella term 'therapists'. However, there are some key differences between the two professions.
Psychologists is a regulated profession under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). They are required to have a minimum of 6 years of university education, including a master's degree or higher in psychology. Psychologists are trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, and they often use evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
When seeing a psychologist you may be eligible for Medicare rebates.
Counsellors are not regulated by AHPRA, but all Talked counsellors are fully registered with either the ACA or PACFA. They typically have a minimum of 4 years of formal education and training, often including a bachelor's degree in counselling or a related field, and may also have additional certifications or training in specific therapeutic approaches. Counsellors provide support and guidance for a wide range of issues, but they do not diagnose mental health conditions.
When seeing a counsellor you are not eligible for Medicare rebates, but some private health insurers may offer rebates for counselling sessions.
