Is online therapy is right for me?
There’s no universal fit in therapy. If face-to-face sessions don’t feel right for you, then that’s ok. Therapy looks different for everyone, and the reasons you may choose online therapy can be far-reaching.
Online therapy is secure and convenient, with no waiting lists and Medicare rebates process for you. Whether you're living in a remote community, cannot travel to your psychologists' office, or simply want a therapy solution that works around your schedule, online therapy could be a great option for you.

Is online therapy effective?
Studies show that online therapy is just as effective as face-to-face therapy, helping hundreds of thousands of Australians access professional therapy services from their own home.
No two people are identical, and that’s why therapy should be personalised and adaptive. Online therapy allows you to do just this – personalised therapy sessions using evidence-based techniques.
Is online therapy safe & secure?
Confidential and discrete sessions are a vital part of therapy. All My Mirror psychologists are fully qualified and registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (or AHPRA for short). This means they are both ethically and legally bound to keep their sessions confidential, and gives clients peace of mind to talk openly.
All our online therapy sessions are end-to-end encrypted, so only you and your psychologist have access to the call. No third parties, including My Mirror itself, can access data from the call.
Online therapy works best when our clients know they’re in a safe space. That’s why we take our privacy and security policies seriously, creating the best possible environment for you and your online therapy sessions.
How do I know I’ve found the right psychologist?
You’ll know you’ve found a good psychologist match when you’re able to speak freely and open up in your therapy sessions. They should make you feel heard, have experience working in your area of concern, and most importantly help you to see improvements as your sessions progress over time.
What are the different types of therapy?
There are many different types of therapy, and your psychologist may assess which could be the right type for you based on your individual needs and goals. Some of the most common forms of therapy can include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
- Hypnotherapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Motivational Interviewing
- Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
