I do not usually leave reviews like this, and I take no pleasure in doing so. I am writing because the experience was distressing, and I do not want anyone else to go through the same thing when they are already looking for psychological support.

I booked my first session with a provider whose internet connection was so poor that the call dropped repeatedly. That first appointment was fragmented and unsettling at a point when I needed stability, not another source of stress.

When I tried to book a follow-up, I received no response. I was simply left without contact. Being ghosted after an already disrupted session was deeply upsetting. It left me without continuity of care and with the feeling that I had been abandoned in the middle of seeking help.

I cannot recommend this company. Do your own research. In my case, skipping that step had a real emotional cost.

Psychologist was receieving echoing voice online and told me to slow down.video link.Ridiculous.
Then he went to hospital. I was cut off .
Next one, spoke over telephone.
So here goes with the Saga again, said I could work with her. Then told Admin to give me the boot because I'm not good with tele service.
It is not a Sustainable mental health Service, no stability. Telelink Stinks.

Got charged for my first appointment that I joined but the psychologist wasn’t there. Been trying to contact him but won’t respond to my messages. And no one is getting back to me from someone.health. This is just ridiculous

Soneonehealth often don't answer calls even during open hours. So frustrating bevause they changed my appointment from phine to video without consulting me and my computer does not allow for video. Answer your phones Someinehealth.

Simply wanted to reschedule my appointment and they say to do so they charge an extra $100.

I understand late fee rescheduling within 24hrs, i probably gave 12 hrs notice, but 100 for people dealing with mental health, are you serious??

I can even see the person i deal with has multiple open slots in the coming days.

Do you think if you went direct through a practisioner theyd charge that to reschedule by a day or so?

SCAM.

My psychologist through someone.health is always late to appointments by at least 20 minutes and often disorganised. For instance, she once didn't make it to an appointment because her phone ran out of battery.... we had to reschedule for the next day. She told me when she was already 5 minutes late. She's done things like this for the last year.
She is good for getting forms filled or a diagnosis but never asks questions or tried to get to the bottom of issues. She is more like a counsellor, who listens and empathises. This is not what I'm looking for.
I have mostly stuck with her for forms and because finding another psychologist and going over everything again is difficult. Also, on the plus side, she is easy to get appointments with.

Just spoke to someone health on the phone to try to get support for making an appointment for a teenager and the lady was so rude! I asked respectfully if I could speak to another staff member and she said no one else would speak to me either and she was the highest person in someone health I could speak to. I think the actual psychologist are ok but the admin staff are a joke!

If you value your mental health and sanity do not use this service. They employ 'experts' who ignore Gp referrals, Go on 10 minute verbal tirades at patients and when sending a formal complaint to there admin team nothing is done despite indisputable evidence that the clinician has made a mistake. No accountability, No help for your actual mental health needs, just a temu scam. Avoid and find real help, this site is dangerous for those in need.

I really tried. I had about 8 sessions across 2 therapists. I am desperate for help but because I'm not ACTIVELY s--cidal the first one basically told me I needed to just accept things and that there's nothing wrong with me. The second one, who I was hoping would take me more seriously but she just seemed bamboozled that I was bothering her at her job. Nobody wanted to listen to me, or offer me any practical help beyond "just accept the bad things and stop being anxious". Wow thanks, I'm cured. I didn't want to go through a bunch more therapists with them so I found a different company and the first person I spoke to let me explain the problems I was having, expressed deep concern about them, and then gave me some actual advice. Not sure the someone health therapists are qualified? This feels like a scam.

Beware to use a DEBIT card with low balance to establish your account. At the least excuse you will be charged $100 (plus "fee" of $2.04) and this cannot be charged to a debit card with low balance. Alternatively after establishing your account delete the card detail from your profile. Three weeks after being charged wrongly when my professional apparently used a wrong code to delete an appointment we made together ( a week in advance), I gave up trying to get a full refund after 6 emails and broken promises of "accounts team will look into it". The psychologist however was brilliant!

After waiting for referrals, mental health plans and psychologists to be available it was finally my turn to get help!!!

...except they didn't turn up, and then had the insolence to reschedule without my consent and charge me a cancellation fee.

Way to support those in need.

Do not recommend. Had 1 appt and she said straight up that it costs alot to see her as her patients are long term.
She did not care to hear my issues and give me any support. Appt suppose to be 50mins. Done in 35mins. Do not use this service.

Do not use this service. Booked an appointment after selecting my time zone. They then booked in a different time zone and I didn't notice. Left work early to attend appointment losing half a days pay. No attempt to contact me once the appointment was due to start and then just billed me as a no show. They did not try to call or make any attempt whatsoever to contact me, else I could have joined on the spot on my phone. Even after I explained the situation there was no recognition of blame on their behalf and they will not return the steep $100 fee.

Found the service lacked depth, insight and any real psychological support. Focused on financial solutions of which they had no concept (and that I had a lawyer to advise me about) but ignored my concerns regarding anxiety and anger which was why I was there in the first place. I experienced a personal emergency that clashed wuth my appointment. When I finally figured out how to cancel an appointment (buried in their website with no option on their text reminder service), giving them a days notice, the decided to charge me a $103 cancellation fee anyway. No enquiry why. No compassion in spite of the significant notice. No appreciation of the pressure that such an act would place on an already desperate situation. Unfortunately this is not somewhere you will found understanding and support - just another mercenary psychological service pretending to help to take advantage of vulnerable people and the government's mental health plan.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE
I had an appointment booked and last minute the childcare i had organised to watch my newborn baby so i could attend appointment cancelled.
They charged me over $100 for a free bulk billed appointment. They took my only money as a new mother on maternity leave. We now cannot do our weekly food shop.
When I reached out to them they cancelled my account and just do not care.
Saying I should of provided 24 hours notice… how would i do that when my childcare cancelled five minutes before.

They will just cancel your appointment without calling you. You have to chase them up for private health receipts and tell them how to write the receipt so you can claim it back from your health fund, they lie when you do get in contact with them. This doesn't represent their psychologist that work under their banner, they are fantastic. But the people who run the platform are incredible hard to deal with. They don't comprehend English, they don't acknowledge how they run their business is even more harm on someone's mental health. They are not easy to contact. They forget people actually don't need a referral and do pay for these services privately. I have had a great psychologist, and will continue with her privately if I can. The middle man is hurting my mental health more!

Sitting here waiting for my clinician and there’s no one here. First apt. I check time again and see it’s Sydney time and an hour earlier than my original booking. Confused I review original email and there’s my original time. So I’m not paying for something that isn’t my fault.
That and they tried to get me to sign an unfilled ndis form. Support agreement. Um no. I need to do that with the clinician and it needs to have costs and names ect on it. What a load of poo!!

I now completely understand why mental health is is a huge problem. Referrals to places who are not taking new patients, appointments that are cancelled by the doctor, telephone health appointments and no one calls....
Being told to just call someone else.
THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN AND HAS BEEN FOR YEATS. So sick of hearing about all the help out there and it's just lies.

Someone.health is not a real mental health clinic, but rather a platform that connects users with freelance psychologists. There is zero quality control, no duty of care, and a complete absence of clinical oversight.

I tried to engage in therapy here during an incredibly vulnerable period of my life. I gave it multiple chances (five sessions) but walked away more distressed and depressed than when I started.

Requests to collaboratively create a care plan were repeatedly ignored. Sessions lacked structure, professionalism, and clinical insight. I was greeted with “What’s up?”, dismissed with lines like “You do too much” or “Everyone goes through this,” and told that “maybe you just need a holiday” after explicitly explaining how my depression had severely impacted my employment. These responses were not only unhelpful, they were re-traumatising.

There was a serious communication gap that left me feeling unheard and misunderstood. After jumping through hoops to switch practitioners (the platform makes it incredibly difficult to change from the first person you see), my new psychologist failed to show up and cancelled all future bookings without explanation. They then disengaged from the platform entirely. There was no explanation, no handover, no follow-up.

Someone.health allows psychologists to disappear at a click. While they are highly strict about charging patients for late/cancellation fees, there’s no protection for clients nor guarantee their psychologists stay, no minimum notice required, and no communication from the admin team, who don’t seem to have any more access to their schedules than clients do. You could show up for your next session only to find the psychologist vanished and nobody will be able to explain why.

If you’re navigating mental health challenges and looking for consistency, clinical professionalism, or even just basic reliability, this is not the place. I wish I hadn’t wasted my limited time, energy, and rebated sessions here. It has genuinely left me more traumatised than helped.

Please don’t go through what I did. You deserve better.
