Online Clinical Psychologist
Across Australia.

Evidence-informed psychological care with Hassan Bashiri, Clinical Psychologist, available to adults throughout Australia by secure telehealth.

English-speaking online psychology for adults from all backgrounds

You do not need to speak Farsi or Turkish, or to be a migrant, to enquire. Fern Up welcomes Australian-born adults and people who have moved to Australia from any country. Sessions can explore anxiety, depression, stress, relationships and major life changes, with attention to your individual circumstances.

Clinical psychology wherever you live

Telehealth makes it possible to attend psychological appointments without travelling to a clinic. Fern Up supports adults in metropolitan, regional and remote Australia, subject to clinical suitability and availability.

Hassan Bashiri is an Ahpra-registered psychologist with an endorsement in clinical psychology. Therapy is collaborative and adapted to your goals, circumstances, culture and preferred pace rather than following a one-size-fits-all program.

What an online psychologist can help with

People seek psychological support for many reasons. You may be dealing with a clear mental health concern, a difficult experience or a period of change that has become hard to manage alone.

  • Anxiety, worry, panic and stress
  • Depression, low mood and reduced motivation
  • Trauma and difficult experiences
  • Relationship concerns and life transitions
  • Adjustment, migration and cultural pressures

How telehealth psychology works

Appointments take place by video or another agreed telehealth method. Before starting, we consider privacy, technology, your current needs and whether remote care is appropriate. Some situations may require face-to-face, medical, crisis or specialist services instead.

Sessions are available in English, Persian (Farsi) and Turkish. Discussing experiences in the language that feels most natural can make it easier to describe emotions, relationships and cultural context.
