Online Mental Health Consultation
An online mental health consultation gives you a private, judgement-free space to talk about how you are feeling and explore support options.
Not for emergencies. Online consultations are not suitable for medical emergencies. If you have severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, severe bleeding, thoughts of harming yourself, or any life-threatening symptom, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
What is online mental health care?
Mental health care covers conditions affecting mood, thinking, and behaviour. Clinicians can listen to your concerns, share general information, and discuss options such as talking therapies, self-help, or medication where appropriate. Online consultations suit many situations, but they are not a substitute for in-person or emergency care during a crisis.
