Common questions

What people ask before booking.

How do I find a therapist in Auckland?

Search Clearhead’s directory and filter by what you’re going through, who you’d like to see, and when you can meet. 12 practitioners are based in Auckland for in-person sessions, and the rest of the team meet clients online anywhere in New Zealand. Auckland is the busiest place in the country to find therapy, and the easiest to get stuck on a waitlist. On Clearhead you can see who has time and book directly.

How much does a therapist cost in Auckland?

If your workplace offers Clearhead, your sessions are $0. Otherwise self-pay sessions are typically $155–$220, and you never need a GP referral.

Can I see a therapist online in Auckland?

Yes. Most of our therapists offer secure video sessions anywhere in New Zealand, so you can start soon even if there’s no in-person slot near you. Research shows online therapy works as well as in-person therapy for common concerns like anxiety and depression.

Do I need a GP referral to see a therapist in Auckland?

No. In New Zealand you don’t need a GP referral to see a therapist privately. You can book directly on Clearhead.

How quickly can I get an appointment in Auckland?

Most people booking through Clearhead get a first session within about 48 hours. You’ll see each therapist’s real availability on their profile before you commit.

What’s the difference between a therapist and other mental health professionals?

A therapist is any qualified talk-therapy professional. If you specifically need diagnosis or psychological assessment, choose a psychologist; for shorter, present-focused support, a counsellor is often the right fit.

So, shall we find someone who gets it?

Therapists across New Zealand & Australia, with real availability on every profile, and $0 if your workplace covers Clearhead.
