Melbourne Psychologists | Evidence-Based Therapy at Clarity Psychology
Psychological therapy guided by decades of research — tailored to help you live a rich, full, and meaningful life
Melbourne Psychologists | Evidence-Based Therapy at Clarity Psychology
With clinics in Carlton and St Kilda, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy to clients across Melbourne and beyond—plus telehealth for anyone in Australia. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or something you can't quite name yet—we're here to help.
When we say evidence-based, we mean therapies that have been scientifically tested and shown to help people reduce distress, change unhelpful patterns, and improve quality of life — not fads, trends, or one-size-fits-all approaches.


Clarity Psychology was founded over ten years ago with a simple belief: that good therapy depends on the relationship between psychologist and client, in addition to the techniques we use. Our team of clinical and registered psychologists bring diverse specialisations—from trauma and personality disorders to couples therapy and perinatal mental health—but we share a commitment to working collaboratively with every person who comes through our door.
Why Clients Choose Clarity Psychology

It's natural to feel uncertain about seeing a psychologist—wondering whether you'll connect with them, whether they'll understand your situation, or whether therapy will actually help. We get it. That's why we take the time to understand what you're going through before matching you with a therapist whose expertise fits your needs. We offer evening appointments for busy schedules, and a warm, unhurried approach from your very first enquiry.
We recognise that seeing a psychologist can be a difficult task for anyone who needs help, so we do everything we can to make you feel comfortable from the first enquiry to the last session

CBT helps you recognise and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress.
ACT supports you to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward your values.
Schema Therapy explores lifelong patterns formed in childhood and helps you heal deep emotional wounds.
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and distress.
This brief therapy focuses on your strengths and future goals to create practical steps for positive change.
Mindfulness teaches you to observe thoughts and feelings without judgement, helping reduce stress and increase self-awareness.
Interpersonal Therapy focuses on improving relationships and communication to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
CBT-I is a highly effective treatment that targets the thoughts and habits that interfere with sleep.
ERP helps reduce anxiety and compulsions by gradually facing feared situations without performing rituals.
This form of CBT helps people process and reframe trauma-related thoughts in a safe and structured way.

Choosing the Right Mental Health Professional
Understanding the different roles in mental health care can be confusing. Here's what the key titles mean in Australia:
Counsellors & Therapists
In Australia, the titles counsellor, therapist, and psychotherapist are not legally protected. Anyone can use these titles, even without formal training.
Psychologists
Only professionals registered with AHPRA can legally use this title. Trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health concerns using evidence-based approaches.
Clinical Psychologists
Registered psychologists with additional postgraduate training. Specialise in complex or severe mental health conditions with comprehensive assessment and treatment.
At Clarity Psychology, all of our psychologists are fully registered with AHPRA, so you can feel confident you're receiving safe, evidence-based care.
