About Clarity Psychology

Founded in 2014 on a simple belief — the best outcomes come from real therapeutic relationships and research-supported methods.

Our team of registered psychologists — including clinical and forensic specialists — brings diverse expertise across our Carlton, St Kilda and Ringwood North clinics. From trauma and personality patterns to perinatal mental health and neurodiversity-affirming assessment, we offer therapy and counselling tailored to the person in front of us. But we share the same approach: collaborative, practical, and evidence-based.

You don't need to know exactly what's "wrong" or what type of therapy you need. That's our job.

Our treatment modalities

Evidence-based therapies at our Melbourne clinics.

You don't need to know which therapy will suit you before you arrive. Your psychologist will work with you to choose an approach based on what you're dealing with and what the evidence shows works.

How it works

Four steps to start therapy in Melbourne. Often step one is the hardest.

Our people

Meet our Melbourne psychologists.

Our registered psychologists bring diverse expertise across our three Melbourne clinics. All practitioners are fully registered with AHPRA.

Your first points of contact
Choosing the right mental health professional

Understanding the titles — and which ones are actually protected.

Mental health care in Australia has overlapping titles and inconsistent regulation. Here's the plain-language version.

Title not protected

Counsellors & therapists

In Australia, the titles counsellor, therapist, and psychotherapist are not legally protected. Anyone can use these titles, even without formal training.

AHPRA protected

Psychologists

Only professionals registered with AHPRA can legally use this title. Trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health concerns using evidence-based approaches.

AHPRA protected

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.

Working with legal professionals

Reports prepared with the court in mind.

Our forensic psychologists understand what courts and tribunals need: assessments grounded in validated instruments, clear formulations, and recommendations that can be acted on. We're available to attend court where required, and to provide expert evidence consistent with the County Court Expert Evidence Practice Note.

Turnaround times and fees are agreed in writing before assessment commences. We accept referrals from solicitors, the courts, Legal Aid, and self-referring individuals who have engaged a solicitor.
