Common questions

What people ask before booking.

How do I find a psychologist in Wellington?

Search Clearhead’s directory and filter by what you’re going through, who you’d like to see, and when you can meet. 12 practitioners are based in Wellington for in-person sessions, and the rest of the team meet clients online anywhere in New Zealand. From the public service to the start-up scene, Wellington work can be relentless — talking to someone shouldn’t have to wait.

How much does a psychologist cost in Wellington?

If your workplace offers Clearhead, your sessions are $0. Otherwise self-pay sessions are typically $155–$220, and you never need a GP referral.

Can I see a psychologist online in Wellington?

Yes. Most of our psychologists offer secure video sessions anywhere in New Zealand, so you can start soon even if there’s no in-person slot near you. Research shows online therapy works as well as in-person therapy for common concerns like anxiety and depression.

Do I need a GP referral to see a psychologist in Wellington?

No. In New Zealand you don’t need a GP referral to see a psychologist privately. You can book directly on Clearhead.

How quickly can I get an appointment in Wellington?

Most people booking through Clearhead get a first session within about 48 hours. You’ll see each psychologist’s real availability on their profile before you commit.

What’s the difference between a psychologist and other mental health professionals?

Psychologists can formally assess and diagnose and tend to use structured, evidence-based therapies. Counsellors and psychotherapists focus on talk-based support rather than diagnosis.

So — shall we find someone who gets it?

Therapists across New Zealand & Australia, with real availability on every profile — and $0 if your workplace covers Clearhead.
