About Us

Your past doesn’t dictate your future - we’re here to help you move beyond it.

Counselling Helpline Melbourne has operated since 2006.

We provide telephone, video and in-person counselling in and around Melbourne.

Our carefully picked team of professionally trained counsellors has sincere passion for our work. Quite simply, we love helping others.

Our mental health services include individual, family and couples counselling, as well as treating addictions, anxiety, anger issues, gambling and depression.

We’re not here to judge—we’re here to provide quality help in complete confidentiality.

Professional counselling at $0 cost to you

All our counsellors are highly trained and are accredited by Medicare Australia.

This enables us to provide 100% bulk billing of all our counselling services.

So you are not left with any out-of-pocket expenses. At all.

How do we help?

From the outset all queries are taken by a trained counsellor.

Expect an empathic ear and a kind approach as we assess how we can best help you. Which is sometimes right there on the spot if the matter is urgent.

We help you obtain a mental health care plan referral from your general practitioner, entitling you to up to 20 counselling sessions per year.

This enables one nominated counsellor to go on the journey with you to explore the issues in-depth.

All counsellors have various areas of expertise and take a caring, solution-focused approach.

There is no judgement, only dedication towards long-term, long-lasting results.

Long-term results

The mental health plans we help people adopt into their lives are far-reaching.

So much so, we sometimes still receive thank you messages from people who benefitted from our services years ago.

We are pleased to have helped hundreds of people who have used our services over the years.

We believe in working together with you on a long-term strategy especially created for you. At your own pace.

It’s not about dwelling on the past. Instead, we help you move through and beyond your difficulties and empower you to have a better future.

Solution-focused bulk billed counselling in Melbourne

Individualised, forward-looking strategies—help move you through and beyond your difficulties.

Now there’s no need to worry about paying for high quality professional help—the help you thought was too expensive to access.

Because at Counselling Helpline Melbourne, we offer bulk billed counselling in Melbourne with $0 out of pocket expense to you.

We specialise in providing mental health treatments in the areas of anxiety, depression, anger management, addiction issues, and family, partner and couple counselling.

Our 100% bulk billed referral-based service provides up to 20 in-person, telephone or video sessions annually. So one of our dedicated Medicare-approved counsellors can work with you in-depth.

And help you overcome deep-seated issues or navigate tough life transitions with positive long-term results.

Our approach is not about ‘band aid’ quick fixes. Rather, we work together to create solutions-based strategies especially tailored for you.

Even if you’ve tried other counselling services that hadn’t worked, we will help you get just the help you need.

This is how we can help

We encourage you to call us directly, or alternatively fill out the confidential form on this page and we will contact you. We take into account the issue troubling you and match you to a specific counsellor who specialises in that area.

You would then go to your general practitioner to obtain a mental health care plan referral for that counsellor.

We encourage you to have one or two sessions with the nominated counsellor to determine if you are comfortable with the therapy. And if need be, we can arrange to match you with another counselling professional. The control is always with you.

We appreciate you taking the step to arrange counselling and will ensure you are not left while in need. So we will attend to you even if you have a pressing need to talk things through the very first time you call us.

In-person or telehealth counselling (Melbourne)

We offer information and referrals for individuals, couples and families to friendly professional qualified counsellors who are registered with Medicare Australia.

Our service is flexible to enable either in-person counselling sessions at our premises, or a telehealth session via video call or telephone. The choice is yours.

Fully bulk-billed via Medicare, telephone counselling for Melbourne residents is easy to arrange—even if you have no access to the internet or aren’t able to come in in person.

All about empowering you

For in-person sessions, we offer comfortable, easy to access locations in Melbourne CBD as well as outlets in the eastern suburbs including Caulfield, Preston, McKinnon, Brighton, Newport, Sunshine, Vermont, Ringwood, Ferntree Gully, Knoxfield, Glen Waverley and Boronia.

We are open between 12 noon until 10 pm daily—yes, even on weekends.

All calls are fielded by qualified counsellors. So right from the start, you can be assured of a friendly, non-judgemental professional service. And of course, your confidentiality is always a top priority.
