What it costs

You pay the therapist’s published price and nothing more. No booking fee, no surcharge, no subscription required. Fees for the therapist come out of their payout, never out of your bill. See Fees if you want the full picture.

​
Who you can see

Open Therapy lists verified practitioners across fourteen care types, including:

Mental health

Psychologists, clinical psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and psychiatrists.

Allied health

Speech pathologists, occupational therapists, dietitians, physiotherapists and exercise physiologists.

Disability support

Behaviour support practitioners, developmental educators and disability support workers.
Every one of them has had their registration checked before their profile went live. See Safety and privacy.
