You may, for a range of reasons, want to be able to get help with your psychological problems without leaving an easily-found paper trail.
While psychologists are very good at keeping things confidential, both police and judges can sometimes bypass the usual protections of confidentiality that normally apply to the counselling process. While in the past, wealthy people could seek treatment simply by flying overseas to specialist clinics, today's Internet-based world allows for skype consultations to achieve what used to be out of reach.
Telehealth conferences under the ATAPS programme of your local PHN make possible seeking specialist help with the issues found in the pages on this site. Your private health fund probably also will pay for this. Medicare in Australia will not, unless you are in a designated remote area (which you will have to check with Medicare and probably Centrelink).
Outside of Australia, however, your local health service is unlikely to subsize overseas psychologists, and so the downside is that a full fee will be payable. On the upside, in many countries the Australian dollar is weaker, and so the cost may be offset somewhat.
The real upside is that you can talk confidentially with more confidence that subpoenas from your jurisdiction may be safely disregarded in Australia. Unless you are wanted for a long string of serious offenses, your local police are very unlikely to work with Australian Federal Police to find records of what you have discussed. Any skype-based counselling is deemed by contract to have occurred within Australia, and to be paid in Australian dollars.
Skype consultations can also be used to connect with children who have been removed from their home country overseas,, in work to reunite them with a lost parent (for whatever reason, including alienation)..
