Who is Sonder?
Sonder is a not-for-profit organisation that helps people to live better lives.
Our professional and experienced team deliver a range of primary health care services, including mental health counselling.
We provide support for people living with mental health concerns to improve their wellbeing and pursue a life with meaning, hope and purpose.
We do this by respecting your values and treatment preferences, focusing on and amplifying your strengths, supporting you to work towards personal goals, and by helping you to enhance your self-management skills.

Your Privacy and Consent
Sonder is a voluntary service, which means that Mental Health Clinicians and other health workers can only provide treatment if you give your consent.
Our Privacy and Consent Brochure includes important details such as;
- How we protect, use and store your personal information

- Your responsibilities as a client
You will be asked to complete and sign a Consent Form and an Information Sharing Consent Form at your Choice Appointment. If you have any questions or need clarification, your clinician will be able to help.
Support person
At Sonder, we believe that a support person can play an important role in your journey to better wellbeing. A support person may include a family member, friend, carer or another relationship with someone living with a health or mental health difficulty. They are welcome to attend your appointments at Sonder.
For more information about the rights and responsibilities of a support person/carer, read our Carer Rights and Responsibilities Brochure.
