Common questions about anxiety therapy in Leichhardt
Is anxiety psychology available in Leichhardt via telehealth?
Yes. Psychologists based in Leichhardt offer telehealth sessions, meaning you can attend appointments via secure video call from home. Telehealth attracts the same Medicare rebate as in-person sessions under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. You can also see any telehealth psychologist listed here regardless of where they are physically located.
How much does seeing an anxiety psychologist in Leichhardt cost?
Psychologists in the Leichhardt area typically charge $200 to $290 per session. With a Medicare rebate under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, you receive $101.55 per session with a registered psychologist (MBS item 91170, effective 1 July 2026). The out-of-pocket gap depends on the individual practitioner's fee. Your GP can provide a referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan, which is required to access the Medicare rebate.
What inner west Sydney suburbs are close to Leichhardt for anxiety psychology?
Leichhardt is in Sydney's inner west, close to Newtown, Glebe, Annandale, Balmain, and Marrickville. Via telehealth, you can see any psychologist in this directory from anywhere in the inner west without needing to travel. Several listed psychologists also have physical practices accessible to inner west residents.
Do I need a GP referral to see an anxiety psychologist in Leichhardt?
A GP referral is not legally required to see a psychologist, but it is required to access the Medicare rebate. Your GP will assess you and, if appropriate, prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) that gives you access to up to 10 Medicare-rebatable sessions per calendar year. Without a referral, you can still see a psychologist privately but will pay the full fee without the rebate.
