About Us:
Clarity Therapy is an up and coming, innovative, mental health private practice that sets out to provide therapy in a down to earth, relatable way to our clients.

We focus on making therapy engaging for clients with a focus on tangible skills they can take away from sessions.
Based in Gymea close to several GP clinics and coffee shops, we have professionally designed therapy rooms with lots of natural light, ergonomic furniture, designed for the therapy space to be comfortable for clinicians just as much as our clients. We invest in the “little touches” that make us more than just another therapy room like standing desks, and incredibly comfortable sofas.
We believe in therapy done differently, offering sessions in office or in nature to promote the added benefit getting outside can have on both client and clinician mental health.
