Anglicare is working to make counselling available to all Tasmanians – no matter where they live.
Anglicare E-Counselling uses the internet to connect people with trained counsellors.
Anglicare E-Counselling provides free and confidential counselling to people living in rural and remote areas of North West Tasmania.
If you live in the North West of Tasmania, including the West Coast and King Island, and you have a computer and internet connection, you can access this service from home.
Alternatively, Anglicare has provided laptops in some communities such as the West Coast and King Island to enable access to e-counselling to those who do not have their own computer or an internet connection. Once you have registered we will guide you into the service.
If you live in other areas of Tasmania and are interested in e-counselling , contact us on (Freecall) 1800 243 232. We are hoping to expand the service to other parts of Tasmania shortly so please register your interest with us.
How does it work?
You meet your Anglicare counsellor over the internet in a secure “virtual room.”
If you are accessing the service via a community placed laptop you can see and talk confidentially with the counsellor – just as if you were meeting face-to-face.
Anglicare has provided laptops in some communities to enable access to e-counselling to those who do not have their own computer or an internet connection.
How much does it cost?
There is no cost to you for using Anglicare e-counselling.
There may be some cost if you choose to access e-counselling from home, as you will be using your own internet connection.
