6 Best Psychologists in Sydney (2026)

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we compare these practices

Rating is the live Google average for each practice. Review volume shows how many clients have left feedback, more reviews gives a more reliable picture. Confidence weighs rating against volume together, and recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No practice can pay to change these numbers, only to be featured at the top of the page. None of this replaces a conversation with a GP or the practice itself about what’s right for you.

What does seeing a psychologist cost in Sydney? (2026)

Session fees vary by practice and by psychologist experience level, and Medicare rebates through a Mental Health Care Plan can reduce out-of-pocket costs for eligible clients. Always confirm current fees and rebate amounts directly with the practice, since this changes and we don’t want to quote a number that’s out of date by the time you call.

Finding a psychologist across Sydney

Most of the practices above are based in or near the Sydney CBD, with several offering telehealth for clients further out in the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, or beyond greater Sydney entirely. If in-person access matters, ask about parking or public transport near the specific office before booking.

What to ask before booking

• Does the psychologist have experience with your specific concern (anxiety, trauma, relationships, ADHD, and so on)?
• What’s the current wait time for a first appointment?
• Are Medicare rebates available under a Mental Health Care Plan, and what’s the out-of-pocket cost after the rebate?
• Is telehealth available if in-person visits aren’t practical?
• What therapeutic approach does the psychologist use, and does that match what you’re looking for?

The bottom line

Associated Counsellors & Psychologists is a reasonable starting point if speed of access matters most to you. Beyond that, the right choice really comes down to what you need support with, so it’s worth a short phone call to a couple of practices before committing to ongoing sessions.
