Psychologist Darwin

Online Psychologists for Women in Darwin

Living in Darwin or elsewhere in the Northern Territory often means dealing with big distances, extreme weather and limited access to local services. When you add work, family life, relationships and health to the mix, it’s understandable if you’re feeling stressed, flat, overwhelmed or simply not yourself.

Pynk Health is an online psychology clinic designed specifically for women. Our all-female team of psychologists and counsellors provides secure Telehealth sessions via video and phone, supporting women in Darwin, Palmerston, rural and remote NT, and right across Australia.

Even though we don’t run a physical clinic in Darwin, you can still work with an experienced female psychologist from the comfort of your own home or another private space that feels safe for you.

Pynk Health Psychologists Supporting Women in Darwin

Pynk Health does not currently have psychologists physically based in Darwin, but our Australia-wide team regularly supports women living in the NT via telehealth. If you’ve been searching for the best female psychologist in Darwin and feeling limited by local options, online therapy means you can work with the clinician who is the best fit for you, even if she lives in another state. You can be matched with the psychologist who best suits your needs, personality and availability – whether they live in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia or another state.

When you reach out, we’ll ask a few questions about what you’re looking for and recommend one or more clinicians who are a good fit – even if they’re not based in the NT, they’ll be experienced in supporting women around Australia through online sessions.

How Online Therapy Works in Darwin

All Pynk Health appointments are delivered via secure Telehealth, which means you can see a psychologist in Darwin without having to travel to a clinic.

You can choose:

  • Video sessions – similar to an in-person session, but via a secure video platform
  • Phone sessions – if you’d rather talk without being on camera

To make therapy more accessible for women with busy lives, appointments can also be booked after-hours and on weekends, depending on each psychologist’s schedule. This can be especially helpful if you:

  • Work full-time or do shift work
  • Have kids or caring responsibilities during the day
  • Live in remote or rural parts of the NT where services are limited
  • Find it stressful or impractical to attend in-person appointments

You just need a private space (at home, work, in your car or another quiet spot) and a reliable phone or internet connection. Many women find that Telehealth feels more comfortable and convenient than travelling to a clinic, especially in the NT’s climate and distances.

What Our Psychologists Can Help Women in Darwin With

You don’t have to “hit rock bottom” before you’re allowed to ask for help. If something doesn’t feel right emotionally, mentally or in your relationships, therapy can be a useful place to start making sense of it.

Our psychologists support women living in Darwin and across the NT with issues such as:

Depression and low mood

Feeling flat, numb or unmotivated can make it hard to keep up with everyday life. Therapy can help you understand what’s contributing to your mood and find small, realistic steps forward.

Anxiety, worry and panic

Constant worry, racing thoughts and physical anxiety symptoms can be draining. We’ll work with you to understand your anxiety and develop coping tools that fit with your life in the Territory.

Stress and burnout

Work demands, caring roles, isolation and other pressures can add up. We can help you recognise early signs of burnout, set boundaries and create a more sustainable routine.

Trauma and PTSD

Past traumas (including accidents, violence, complex childhood experiences or other difficult events) can affect your emotions, body, sleep and sense of safety. We offer a trauma-informed space to process your experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

Grief and loss

Grief can follow bereavement, relationship breakdowns, health changes, job loss or other big life shifts. We’ll support you as you navigate your grief and gradually adjust to your “new normal”.

Relationships and family concerns

Romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships and workplace interactions can all be sources of stress. Therapy can help you understand patterns, strengthen communication and set clearer boundaries.

Body image and eating difficulties

Worries about food, weight or appearance can quietly shape many parts of your life. We provide a non-judgemental space to explore what’s going on and work towards a healthier relationship with your body and eating.

Substance use and coping behaviours

If alcohol or other substances have become your main way of coping, we can help you understand what role they’re playing and explore safer, more sustainable alternatives.

Perinatal and postnatal mental health

Fertility struggles, pregnancy, birth and the early years with a baby or young child can bring big emotional ups and downs. We support women in Darwin and across the NT through anxiety, low mood, identity changes and overwhelm in the perinatal period.

Perimenopause and menopause

Hormonal changes can affect mood, sleep, energy and relationships. We can help you make sense of these shifts and develop tools to navigate this stage of life.

Neurodiversity, including ADHD and Autism ASD

Many women start to wonder about ADHD or autism later in life, often after years of feeling “different” or misunderstood. We support you to explore your traits, build self-understanding and find strategies that work with your brain.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours can be distressing and time-consuming. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and gradually loosen their grip on daily life.

ADHD and ASD Assessments for Women in Darwin

Pynk Health also offers:

ADHD assessments for women

Comprehensive Telehealth assessments that may include interviews, questionnaires and collateral information, followed by a detailed written report with results and recommendations.

Autism (ASD) assessments for women

Thorough Telehealth assessments that recognise how autism often presents differently in women, along with a clear report and practical suggestions for support.

All assessments are conducted online via secure video, so women in Darwin, Palmerston and remote NT communities can complete the process without travelling interstate.

Therapy Approaches Our Psychologists Use With Women in Darwin

Our psychologists draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, combining and adapting them to fit your preferences, history and goals. Depending on what you’re going through, your psychologist may use:

Two woman talking during therapy session
Couple hugging during Perth couples counselling session
Darwin psychologist during psychology session

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

To explore the connections between your thoughts, feelings and actions, and experiment with more helpful patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

To help you respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while moving towards what matters most to you.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – Informed strategies

To build skills in managing strong emotions, coping with crises and improving relationships.

Schema Therapy

To explore deeper themes and beliefs that may be shaping your self-worth, relationships and choices.

Narrative Therapy

To help you step back from problems, re-examine your story and notice your strengths and values.

Mindfulness-based approaches

To support grounding, self-awareness and emotional regulation.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

Where appropriate, to help process traumatic memories and reduce ongoing distress.

You and your psychologist will regularly check in on how therapy is going and adjust the approach as needed.

Fees, Rebates and Referrals for Darwin Psychology Sessions

PLEASE NOTE: We do not offer bulk billing.

We understand that cost is an important part of deciding whether to start therapy, so we aim to be as clear as possible about our fees and available rebates.

For most standard therapy sessions, fees range from $225–$282 per appointment, depending on the clinician and type of session. If you have a referral and a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or psychiatrist, your approximate out-of-pocket cost is usually around $140 per session once the Medicare rebate has been applied.

You may also be able to claim a rebate through your private health fund, depending on your level of cover and the fund’s rules. The exact rebate will vary between policies. Our admin team can help you understand your options and decide whether Medicare, private health, or a mix of both is likely to suit you best.

Sessions can be scheduled weekly, fortnightly or less often, depending on your needs, goals and budget. To accommodate different work patterns in the NT, we also offer after-hours and some weekend appointments, subject to each psychologist’s availability. For up-to-date information on fees, rebates and times, please contact us.

Seeing a Psychologist if You Live in Darwin or the NT

Even though we don’t have a physical clinic in Darwin, you can still access regular support from an experienced female psychologist.

If you live in Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine, Alice Springs or elsewhere in the NT, you can:

  • Be matched with a psychologist from our Australia-wide team who has experience with the issues you’re facing, and
  • Choose session times that fit around your lifestyle, including after-hours and some weekends where available.

Some women prefer to see a psychologist who lives in another state because it feels a little more private. Others simply want the clinician who’s the best fit for their personality, experiences and goals. Both are valid – the main thing is that you feel safe and supported.

Because all sessions are online via secure video or phone, you’re not limited by distance, travel time or the number of local clinics. You can work with the psychologist who’s right for you, even if they’re thousands of kilometres away.
