Beth Numeyer Counselling
Online Counselling in Maitland
With over 25 years’ experience, I provide compassionate, person-centred counselling for individuals and families, in person or via telehealth.
Telehealth
Professional Care, Delivered Online
Getting the support you need shouldn’t depend on your location or schedule. At Beth Numeyer Counselling, I offer online counselling for individuals and families across Maitland, Telarah, Newcastle and surrounding areas, making it easier to access professional support from wherever you feel most comfortable. With over 25 years of experience working with children, parents and individuals, I bring the same level of care, understanding and professionalism to every online session.
Online counselling allows you to connect in a familiar environment, which can often help you feel more relaxed and open during sessions. Whether you’re managing a busy routine, living further away or simply prefer the privacy of your own space, telehealth provides a flexible alternative to in-person appointments. As a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), I ensure each session is structured, confidential and tailored to your needs, just as it would be face-to-face.
I make the process simple, accessible and focused entirely on you, so you can prioritise your wellbeing without added stress. If you’re ready to get started, call 0461 574 383 to book your online counselling session today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is online counselling as effective as in-person counselling?
Online counselling can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many people. Research has shown that telehealth counselling provides similar outcomes, particularly for concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues and life transitions. The key factors that influence effectiveness are the quality of the therapeutic relationship, consistency of sessions and willingness to engage in the process. For some people, being in a familiar environment can actually make it easier to open up and feel comfortable during sessions.
How do online counselling sessions work?
Online counselling sessions are typically conducted via secure video platforms, allowing real-time communication between you and the counsellor. Sessions are structured similarly to in-person appointments, with time dedicated to discussing your concerns, exploring challenges and working through strategies for support. All you need is a stable internet connection, a private space and a device such as a phone, tablet or computer. Many platforms are simple to use, and instructions are usually provided before your first session.
Who is online counselling suitable for?
Online counselling is suitable for a wide range of people, including individuals, parents and families seeking flexible support. It can be particularly helpful for those with busy schedules, limited access to local services or mobility challenges. It’s also a good option for people who feel more at ease speaking from home or who prefer a more convenient approach to accessing support. While it may not suit every situation, many people find it to be a practical and effective way to prioritise their mental health.
What if I experience technical issues during a session?
Most counsellors have a backup plan in place, such as switching to a phone call, if a video connection drops out or technical issues arise. It's worth discussing this with your counsellor beforehand so you both know what to do if something goes wrong, allowing the session to continue with minimal disruption.
Do I need any special software for online counselling?
Usually not. Most online counselling is conducted through simple, secure video call platforms that can be accessed through a web browser or a straightforward app. Your counsellor will typically send you a link or clear instructions before your appointment, so there's little to set up on your end.

Convenience
Flexible Support for Busy Lives
Online counselling is designed to fit into your life without causing disruptions. I work with you to create a supportive and effective online counselling experience, helping you explore challenges, build coping strategies and gain clarity in a way that feels comfortable and manageable. My online counselling sessions follow the same person-centred approach as in-person counselling, focusing on your goals, your pace and what matters most to you.
I support individuals managing busy schedules, parents balancing family commitments and anyone who prefers the ease of accessing online counselling from home. I also recognise that many people feel more at ease in a familiar environment, which can lead to more open and honest conversations during online counselling sessions. All of my online counselling sessions are conducted securely, so you can feel confident that your privacy is protected while still receiving meaningful, professional support.
Over time, online counselling can help you build confidence, strengthen emotional wellbeing and feel more equipped to manage life's challenges. With flexible scheduling and no need to travel, I make it easier for you to stay consistent with your counselling and prioritise your wellbeing.
Comfort
Your Space, Your Pace
Feeling at ease is often the first step towards making real progress in counselling. Online counselling allows you to take part in sessions from a space where you already feel comfortable, whether that's your living room, bedroom or somewhere quiet during a break in your day. This familiarity can make it easier to open up, reflect honestly and engage fully in the process, without the added pressure of travelling or adjusting to an unfamiliar setting. Many clients find that online counselling helps them feel more relaxed and present, allowing our conversations to flow naturally while still receiving the same professional care and attention.
