Online Psychology

David Broadbent may be able to help you even if you cannot make it to his practice. Tele-health, allows you to receive the benefits of psychological treatment at a time and place that suits you. If you have a busy schedule, or find it hard to travel, online treatment may be just the solution you need.

In this period of uncertainty and lockdowns (along with just plain personal responsibilty) that has become part of this COVID19 World, online treatment may be just what the doctor ordered. The Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) currently has specialist item numbers to allow anyone with a GP Mental Health Care Plan to receive online threatment- where deemed clinically appropriate by David.

Online counseling with David Broadbent takes place on a web-based audio-visual platform that is fully compliant with all professional and government privacy regulations.

Examples of platforms we use are Zoom, Skype, Duo, Facetime, GoToMeeting,  WhatsApp, MS Teams. We are also able to incorporate any platform that you may have access to.

This means you get the same level of absolute confidentiality that you would receive in the practice itself. In online counselling you can expect the same warmth, compassion, integrity, and humor that David gives to all hispatients, but in a location that suits you.

Online counselling might be the right fit for you if:

You live too far away from our office locations for visits to be practical.
You want to have psycholigical treatment at your work, home, or school, without having to arrange for David to be there in person.
You prefer to schedule appointments outside of normal office hours.
You would prefer to experience psychological treatment in a more familiar setting
Your life comittments make it increasingly difficult to "create" the time normally required to travel/attend more traditional appointments.
