Where, and how we deliver evidence-based Psychology Support

Written By Tom .

Forward Thinking Psychological Services is a fully online psychology practice. This is a deliberate and considered choice, designed to make high-quality psychological support more accessible, flexible, and affordable.

Why We Work Online

Providing therapy via secure telehealth allows us to:

  • Lower the cost of our services by removing overheads associated with physical clinic rooms

  • Improve accessibility, for both clients in regional locations or areas with fewer health services, and those in busy urban centres where waitlists can be excessive

  • Offer greater flexibility and availability, including early morning or evening appointments where possible

  • Allow clients to attend therapy from their own space, which many people find more comfortable and less stressful - particularly in communities where it is inevitable to see someone you know in a waiting room.

For many clients, online therapy also removes practical barriers such as travel time, parking, fatigue, or managing health conditions alongside appointments.

Simple, Straightforward Online Appointments

Our online processes are intentionally clear, reliable, and easy to follow.

  • Appointments are conducted via secure, user-friendly platforms. We steer away from cheap or budget providers, and utilise platforms endorsed by Australian Health Professionals and Governing Bodies

  • No complex software, hidden fees, or unexpected changes

  • Consistent processes across sessions

  • Clear communication about bookings, payments, and documentation

Our clinicians have been delivering telehealth psychology for several years and have carefully selected systems that prioritise simplicity, privacy, and reliability - so you can focus on the therapy, not the technology.

Based on the Central Coast, Supporting NSW

While our services are delivered online, Forward Thinking Psychological Services is based on the Central Coast, NSW, where our principal psychologist has lived and worked for several years.

We maintain positive working relationships with:

  • Local GPs

  • Other local Psychology and Mental Health clinics

  • Psychiatrists

  • Allied health providers

  • Case managers and rehabilitation services

We are deeply committed to contributing to improved mental health care on the Central Coast and across the broader NSW community.

Regional NSW Service Areas

A key focus of our practice is supporting people in regional and rural NSW, where access to experienced psychologists can be limited or unavailable. We provide services to clients in and around:

  • Wollongong

  • Newcastle

  • Central Coast

  • Orange

  • Lithgow

  • Dubbo

  • Bathurst

  • Wagga Wagga

  • Albury

  • Tamworth

  • Coffs Harbour

  • Port Macquarie

  • Taree

  • Forster

  • Lismore

  • Ballina

  • Grafton

  • Broken Hill

  • Griffith

  • Forbes

  • Young

If you live outside these areas, you are still very welcome to enquire - location is rarely a barrier when working online.

In Summary

Although we operate as an online practice, we are deeply connected to the Central Coast and wider NSW community. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-based mental health support to people wherever they live.

If you are seeking mental health support - whether you’re in a regional town, coastal community, or metropolitan area - we’re open to connecting with you and exploring whether our services are a good fit for your needs.
