How does Starworks rank counsellors & psychotherapists nationally?
To rank counsellors & psychotherapists across Australia, Starworks combines each business's Google star rating, its review volume, and whether customers can reach it by website and phone. Volume is weighted because it shows how much evidence stands behind a rating, so a 4.9-star counsellor with 200 reviews ranks above a 5-star one with 5 reviews. Placement cannot be bought. For scale, the median rating across the 500 highest-rated counsellors & psychotherapists in Australia is 5.0 stars from a median of 15 reviews.
Where can I find the best counsellors & psychotherapists in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for counsellors & psychotherapists in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my counsellor business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the counsellor category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of counsellors & psychotherapists in Australia lists the top 50 of the 500 highest-rated counsellors & psychotherapists; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
