- TELEHEALTH PSYCHOLOGY: ACT
Online Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Every ACT session helps you stop struggling against difficult thoughts and feelings, and start taking action on the things that actually matter to you. HelloDoc's registered psychologists deliver ACT online, available across Australia, no referral needed.
- Personalised Care
Why Choose HelloDoc For Online ACT?
ACT can be tailored to your individual values, circumstances, and goals rather than delivered as a standardised programme. HelloDoc’s registered psychologists take the time to understand what matters most to you before structuring your ACT sessions accordingly.
Care continues from your first appointment through to ongoing therapy, with your psychologist monitoring progress and adjusting the approach as your psychological flexibility develops. Our focus is on sustainable, meaningful outcomes, not a fixed course of sessions regardless of how you respond to treatment.
ACT SUITABILITY
Is ACT Therapy Right For You?
The most appropriate therapeutic approach depends on your individual circumstances, concerns and goals, something your psychologist will assess with you directly, not assume in advance. Where a different evidence-based therapy is better suited to your needs, our psychologist will discuss the most appropriate treatment pathway with you during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what people usually want to know before booking their first ACT session.
Is ACT available through telehealth?
Yes. HelloDoc provides Acceptance and Commitment Therapy through secure online consultations, making it easy to access experienced psychologists from anywhere in Australia.
How is ACT different from other therapy approaches?
Rather than focusing on eliminating or challenging difficult thoughts and feelings, ACT helps you accept them and build the psychological flexibility to act on what matters to you regardless. It’s often used alongside or instead of approaches like CBT, depending on what suits you best.
Do I need a referral to book an ACT appointment?
No. You can book an ACT session directly, without a GP referral. A referral and Mental Health Care Plan are only required if you want to claim a Medicare rebate on your sessions
How many ACT sessions will I need?
This depends on your individual circumstances and how you respond to treatment. Your psychologist will discuss an expected timeframe after your initial assessment and review progress as therapy continues.
Can I access ACT if I live in a regional or remote area?
Yes. Because sessions are delivered by secure video, your location doesn’t limit access; ACT with a registered psychologist is available wherever you are in Australia.
