Is there a psychologist in Ashfield or Sydney’s Inner West offering telehealth?

Yes. MindLens Australia Psychology is based in Ashfield, in Sydney’s Inner West, and offers telehealth (online video) sessions with Susan Rudnick, a registered psychologist. Sessions are delivered across NSW, so people in Ashfield and the surrounding Inner West can see a psychologist without travelling to a clinic.

Local to the Inner West, available across NSW

MindLens is based in Ashfield, close to Inner West suburbs such as Summer Hill, Croydon, Haberfield, Dulwich Hill, Marrickville, Leichhardt and Burwood. Rather than in-person appointments, MindLens delivers support by secure video, so you attend from home or work at a time that suits you.

This means you get the reassurance of a local Inner West practice while keeping the convenience of online sessions. It also means the service is not limited to one suburb: anyone in NSW, and Australia-wide, can book a telehealth appointment.

What MindLens offers

MindLens provides telehealth psychology with a registered psychologist. Support may cover concerns such as:

  • Anxiety, worry and stress
  • Low mood and life adjustment
  • Grief and loss
  • Relationship and family concerns
  • Self-esteem and confidence
  • Coping with change or difficult life events

Susan Rudnick is a registered psychologist. Sessions are one-on-one, confidential, and paced to suit you.

Why telehealth instead of an in-person Inner West clinic

For many people, telehealth is more practical than travelling to a clinic. The benefits include:

  • No commute — no parking, traffic or public transport to an Ashfield rooms
  • Flexibility — appointments can fit around work, study and caring responsibilities
  • Comfort — you talk from a space where you already feel at ease
  • Access — if you move suburbs or travel within NSW, you can keep your psychologist

All you need is a private space, a device with a camera, and a stable internet connection.

A standard session is $260. With a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, a Medicare rebate of $101.55 applies, leaving an out-of-pocket gap of about $158.45.
