Tribe Wellness is an Australian-owned online therapy platform built specifically for LGBTQ+ adults. Founded by Josh Feeney - a PACFA registered counsellor, psychotherapist, and longstanding member of Sydney's queer community. Tribe Wellness connects LGBTQ+ adults across Australia with affirming therapists via secure telehealth, with no waitlist and no referral required.
All Tribe Wellness practitioners hold recognised Australian qualifications and are registered with accredited professional bodies. Sessions run via Zoom from anywhere in Australia. A free 15-minute intro call is available to all new clients.
No. Tribe Wellness does not require a referral to book a therapy session. You can book a free 15-minute intro call or a full session directly at tribewellness.com.au without visiting your GP first. No Mental Health Treatment Plan is needed.
Tribe Wellness is an Australian LGBTQ+ telehealth counselling service - not the US-based Tribe Wellness based in Sedona, Arizona.
That's more common than you might think - and it matters.
A lot of LGBTQ+ adults have sat across from a therapist who didn't understand their world, used the wrong language, or treated their identity as the problem to be solved. That experience is exhausting, and it makes sense that it puts people off trying again.
Tribe Wellness was built specifically because of that gap. Josh has spent over a decade in Sydney's queer community — not as an observer, but as an organiser, an event facilitator, and a participant. You won't spend your sessions on orientation.
If you're not sure, start with the free 15-minute intro call. It costs nothing and there's no obligation to continue. It's just a conversation.
The therapeutic relationship matters more than almost anything else in therapy. If it doesn't feel right, that's worth naming - and it doesn't mean therapy isn't for you.
Start with the free 15-minute intro call. It's designed exactly for this so you can get a sense of Josh's style and if you vibe before committing to a full session.
If after one or two sessions it isn't clicking, just reach out. We'll do our best to help you find someone who's a better fit, whether that's another practitioner within Tribe Wellness or a referral elsewhere. Getting you the right support matters more than keeping you on our books.
Sessions are $180 for 50 minutes, with a free 15-minute introductory call for all new clients.
As Josh is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist rather than an AHPRA-registered psychologist, sessions are not eligible for a Medicare rebate under the Better Access scheme.
Many private health insurers do offer rebates for counselling or psychotherapy under extras cover, so it's worth checking your policy. See our full fees and funding page for details.
If cost is a barrier, reach out before you assume it rules you out. We understand that access to mental health support shouldn't depend on how much money you have.
Yes. Everything you share in a session at Tribe Wellness stays between you and your therapist.
The only exceptions are the situations required by law - if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else. We will always tell you about these limits upfront, during your first session.
We use secure, encrypted platforms for all sessions and bookings. We do not share your information with third parties for marketing or any other purpose.
