Skype Counselling

We provide professional, evidence-based counselling that is effective, practical and client-centred


In addition to office-based counselling services, we also offers live video counselling sessions via Skype or Zoom (both are free apps which can be used on smart phones, iPads/tablets, laptops or PCs) for clients throughout Australia and Asia. Online counselling service is a core component of our commitment to ensuring that all Australians and expats in Asia have access to high quality counselling.



Reasons to choose internet/online counselling


People choose online counselling via internet for a variety of reasons, including:


  • Preference for counselling within your own environment
  • Geographical isolation
  • Living in/travelling between multiple locations
  • Difficulties travelling to an office appointment
  • Long-distance relationships
  • Family and work commitments
  • High need for confidentiality


Skype/Zoom software is secure and easy to access


One of the major benefits of Skype/Zoom counselling is that it’s a visual medium. Live video counselling enables you and your counsellor to speak with and see each other throughout your session, which helps to build trust and a sense of connectedness. To access our secure online counselling service all you will need is:


  • A computer, tablet or smartphone with a camera and microphone
  • Access to the internet
  • A free Skype or Zoom (via zoom.us) account

Online counselling is effective, confidential and convenient. No referrals are required for our online service – you can commence counselling immediately. We offer flexible appointment times, including same-day appointments, evenings and weekends.


Some employers have an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which provides employees 4 or more online sessions with a counsellor or psychologist. Check with your Human Resources office. Denis McCarthy & Associates work with several state and national EAP providers.
