Finding the right therapist can make a big difference — especially if you’re recovering from abuse, trauma, or family court stress. These directories help you search by location, specialty, and approach, so you can find someone who fits your needs:

• Better Health Services - A government-run site offering general mental health info and a gateway to local services. Not a directory, but a helpful starting point for understanding options.
• Healthdirect - A national government-funded service that helps you find GPs, psychologists, and mental health support near you.
• Australian Psychological Society (APS) - A directory of registered psychologists across Australia. Lets you search by issue, gender, therapy type, and location.
• PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia) - A directory of accredited counsellors and psychotherapists. Includes trauma-informed specialists.
• Australian Counselling Association (ACA) - A national directory of registered counsellors. Useful if you’re looking for more affordable or alternative support options.
• Good Therapy Australia - An independent, Australia-wide directory with detailed practitioner profiles. Helps you filter by modality, issue, and region.
• Australia Counselling - Lets you browse therapists by location, concern, and therapeutic approach. Includes blog resources for clients as well.
• Talked - An online platform connecting you to Australian-based therapists for virtual sessions. Great for flexibility and remote access.
