How we rank providers
Rankings in New South Wales are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.
- How this list is built. Providers shown here list Counsellor and Rehabilitation Counsellor among their professions, or offer counselling, rehabilitation counselling, and allied health. Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated capability.
- Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in New South Wales rank above those covering only the broader region.
What "Trusted" means. The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

What is home counselling and psychotherapy?
Home counselling and psychotherapy is talk-based therapeutic support delivered in the client’s home rather than a clinic, covering grief, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties and adjustment to illness or disability. Under the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, counselling is funded under the Therapeutic Supports registration group at a capped rate of $156.16 per hour when delivered by an NDIS-recognised counsellor and related to the participant’s disability.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Home counselling suits NDIS participants whose disability-related goals include emotional regulation or daily living capacity, funded under Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living or Improved Relationships. Older Australians can access it under Support at Home, the program that replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025, for grief, adjustment to health changes or carer relationship stress. People needing formal diagnosis or Medicare rebates should see a psychologist instead, since Medicare Better Access applies to registered psychologists, not counsellors.
Availability on Carevo
257 counsellors are listed on Carevo across Australia. Providers are ranked using the criteria explained above. For structured, evidence-based therapy or formal assessment, compare options on the psychology service page.

The provider rankings and figures on this page come from Carevo platform records, including provider registrations, measured response times and coverage, together with the cited official sources.
