Program Overview

Psychological Counselling Services offer professional, compassionate support delivered by registered and provisionally registered psychologists. Face-to-face appointments are available in Hobart with options for face‑to‑face, phone or telehealth sessions to support access across Tasmania. Psychological Counselling Services provide professional, compassionate support delivered by registered and provisionally registered psychologists. Services are offered face‑to‑face in Southern Tasmania and via telehealth across Tasmania, ensuring accessible support for individuals and families regardless of location.
