Personalised psychological therapy for adults across Australia
Big Changes Psychology provides online psychological therapy for adults throughout Australia.
Our psychologists provide practical, evidence-based therapy tailored to your individual needs, circumstances and goals.
Our approach is personalised from the beginning, with the option of a complimentary pre-therapy assessment to help your psychologist better understand your needs and inform your treatment.
Therapy With Clear Direction
How We Approach Therapy
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress or difficulties adjusting to changes in your life. You may be struggling with patterns that have been present for some time, or simply feel that something isn't working as well as you'd like.
Our psychologists take the time to understand what is happening for you and work with you to identify your goals and develop a clear, practical and evidence-based plan for moving forward.
Treatment is personalised to your individual needs and informed by current psychological research.
Depending on your concerns and goals, therapy may focus on developing new ways of thinking, responding to difficult emotions, changing unhelpful patterns, strengthening coping skills or making meaningful changes in your life.
The aim is not simply to help you feel better during therapy, but to develop understanding and skills that continue to be useful well beyond it.
Optional Pre-Therapy Assessment
Before your first appointment, you can choose to complete a complimentary pre-therapy psychological assessment.
This involves a carefully selected set of questionnaires designed to give your psychologist a broader understanding of the difficulties you're experiencing and how they may be affecting different areas of your life.
Your psychologist can use this information alongside their clinical assessment to help understand your needs and inform your treatment from the beginning.
The assessment is optional and provided at no additional cost.

NDIS Funding
We welcome self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants aged 18 and over. Our psychologists can support you with goals related to everyday functioning, emotional regulation, coping strategies, relationships, adapting to change, problem-solving and greater independence.
As we are not a registered NDIS provider, we are unable to accept NDIA-managed funding.
All therapy sessions are delivered securely via video telehealth, allowing you to access experienced psychologists from the comfort, convenience and privacy of your own home or wherever you feel most comfortable.
Telehealth also removes travel time and makes it easier to access consistent care, wherever you are in Australia. Research has shown that secure video-based therapy is as effective as face-to-face therapy for many common mental health concerns.
