In Cheltenham, the main distinction comes down to training and registration. Psychologists complete a minimum of six years of university study and must be registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), which allows them to provide Medicare-rebated sessions under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Counsellors typically hold qualifications accredited through PACFA or ACA and are not AHPRA-registered, so their sessions are generally not covered by Medicare. Both can be very effective, and many Cheltenham clients choose a counsellor when they want affordable, flexible support without needing a GP referral first.
