Mental health support for people living with autoimmune conditions.

Fortnightly sessions. Ongoing messaging. Therapy available when you need deeper clinical support.

Care that adapts to unpredictability

Autoimmune conditions can change week to week - sometimes day to day. Your support shouldn’t reset every time your symptoms shift.

With Clea, you work with the same counsellor over time - someone who understands your history, your patterns, and how your condition affects your mood, identity, and energy. Steady care. Built around you.

Support that meets you where you are.

Personally matched 1:1 counsellors trained in chronic illness

Fortnightly 30- or 45-minute sessions by phone or video

No clinics. No waiting rooms. No referral needed

Flexible support that fits around your energy and symptoms

Ongoing care that builds over time

How Clea works

Clea helps you manage the emotional load of living with autoimmune disease and feel more in control of your mental health. Cancel anytime. No lock-ins. Just steady, ongoing counsellor-led support built around you.

Start free

Meet your counsellor and share what living with autoimmune illness looks like for you - the unpredictability, the fatigue, the invisible symptoms. No paperwork. No pressure. Just someone who understands.

Support every fortnight

See the same counsellor every two weeks. Message between sessions when symptoms flare or energy dips.

Add therapy anytime

If you need deeper clinical care, add therapy with a psychologist experienced in autoimmune and chronic illness. Optional. Rebates may apply.

FIRST SESSION FREE

Support for the realities of autoimmune disease

Autoimmune conditions affect more than your body. They shape your energy, mood, clarity, and sense of control.

Your counsellor understands the unpredictability of flare-ups, the exhaustion of inflammation, the brain fog, the frustration of invisible symptoms, and the emotional toll of not always being believed. You don’t have to carry that mental load alone.
