Clarity Health Care
Psychologist
At Clarity Health Care, we offer compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals wanting to build healthier, stronger self-esteem. Our experienced Malvern Psychologists and Fitzroy Psychologists work with you to explore the beliefs, experiences, and thought patterns that may be impacting your confidence and self-worth.
Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), self-compassion training, schema therapy, and strengths-based strategies, we help you challenge negative self-talk, develop resilience, and reconnect with your value beyond external achievements or the opinions of others.
At Clarity, we believe that positive self-esteem is not about perfection — it’s about recognising your inherent worth and treating yourself with the same kindness and respect you show others. Together, we help you build a more confident, authentic, and empowered version of yourself.
Appointments are available both in-person and via telehealth for your convenience.

Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
How we think and feel about ourselves drives many of our behaviours and interactions with others, and often determines our internal motivation and sense of control. Working on self esteem through understanding contributing factors throughout our development can revolutionise our sense of self, allowing barriers to achievement to be minimised and helping to create a purposeful and rewarding internal world that matches what may be acted out externally, leading to authentic self-esteem that contributes to happiness and satisfaction.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Low self esteem affects healthy, confident interaction with others and leads to isolation and loneliness. It affects our ability to communicate effectively and assertively about our wants and needs, which creates an inevitable feeling of being 'walked over' by others. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner feelings and experiences, and to learn practical strategies for more confident and assertive communications skills, along with learning to appreciate yourself more and learn self compassion. I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying and often subconscious cause. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from poor self esteem to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
When our self-esteem is low it can feel like everyone else in the world is 'getting it' but us. To my mind, low self-esteem, self-judgement, shame and isolation all co-exist cosily together and create fertile ground for each other. Because self-judgement will undermine our self-esteem, and lead to us feeling ashamed of ourselves. This happy combination then naturally leads us to draw inwards, away from the gaze of the world around us, and into isolation where nobody can see how 'worthless' we are (or believe ourselves to be).
Addressing this inner critic or inner judge is one of the keys to reclaiming our self-esteem.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Low self-esteem can quietly shape every decision, the relationships you accept, the opportunities you pass on, the voice in your head that's always a little too critical. If you're ready to build a stronger, kinder relationship with yourself, let's work together to help you get there.
The first step in working on self-esteem is understanding that your worth was never up for debate. It's the beliefs about yourself that need examining, not you. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where these beliefs took root and build a more grounded, compassionate sense of self. My approach focuses on self-compassion, accountability, and practical steps toward genuine confidence.
You don't have to do this alone. Let's take the first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with yourself.
