What people ask before booking.
What is a counsellor?
A counsellor helps you talk through what’s happening now and make practical changes — relationships, stress, grief, life transitions. Counselling tends to be shorter-term and present-focused. Clearhead counsellors are members of a recognised professional body, such as NZAC in New Zealand or the ACA or PACFA in Australia.
How do I find a good counsellor in New Zealand or Australia?
Use Clearhead to filter counsellors by concern, approach, gender, language and availability, then read full bios and real availability before booking. Every counsellor on Clearhead is registered with a recognised professional body, sees clients online across NZ and Australia, and many are covered in full by workplace EAP.
How much does a counsellor cost?
It’s $0 if your workplace covers Clearhead (common across both NZ and Australia). Otherwise self-pay sessions are typically $155–$220.
Can I see a counsellor online?
Yes — most Clearhead counsellors offer secure video sessions, so you can get help wherever you are in New Zealand or Australia, usually within about 48 hours.
What’s the difference between a counsellor and other professionals?
Counselling is usually shorter and focused on the present and practical change. Psychotherapy goes deeper into long-standing patterns; psychologists add formal assessment and diagnosis.
