About

Nonie Carr - Counselling & Clinical Psychologist

At Enhance Life Psychology, I believe therapy is not about fixing problems, it’s about helping you enhance your life.

Every person brings strengths, insights, and capacities for change. My role is to help you access those inner resources, understand long-standing patterns, and create new ways of responding that support growth and wellbeing.

As a Board-Approved Supervisor, I am committed to reflective and ethical practice. This commitment shapes the way I work with clients, supporting thoughtful, evidence-based care that evolves alongside ongoing learning and professional accountability

How I Work

My approach is collaborative, inclusive, and compassionate.

We begin by exploring what you’d like your life, relationships, and sense of self to look like. Together, we identify how past experiences and current habits may be influencing you, and we work to develop practical, evidence-based strategies that align with your values and goals.

I integrate several modalities, including:

EMDR Therapy – to process distressing or unresolved experiences.
Schema Therapy – to recognise and shift patterns that may affect how you relate to yourself and others.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to help you connect with your values and take meaningful action.

Professional Background

I began my professional career as a secondary school teacher, working in education for four years before pursuing postgraduate training in psychology. That early teaching experience shaped the way I work — combining structure, curiosity, and empathy to help people learn about themselves and apply new insights in practical ways.

After completing my Master of Psychology (Counselling), I worked as a school psychologist for almost ten years, supporting adolescents, teachers, and families within the education system. These years gave me deep insight into how young people learn, develop, and cope with pressure — skills that continue to inform my work with adults and adolescents today.

Alongside my school-based work, I also contracted in private practice for six years, providing counselling to clients from a range of backgrounds. In 2017, I decided to leave the school system to establish my own private practice — Enhance Life Psychology — combining my interests in performance, anxiety, and trauma with my ongoing commitment to helping people create meaningful change.

I am a Counselling & Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA). I am also a Board-Approved Supervisor, and enjoy supporting developing psychologists and registrars through supervision that is reflective, ethical, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I am a Member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPi), and a Member of the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).

Performance Psychology: Beyond the Field or Stage

Performance is about more than sport; it’s about how we show up in every part of life.

Having competed in cycling at state, national, and world masters levels, I understand the balance between pressure, discipline, and self-compassion.

I now help athletes, performing artists, students, and professionals develop strategies to manage pressure, reduce anxiety, and perform with confidence.

Working Together

I work with adolescents, adults, and upper-primary students, providing sessions in person in Albert Park, Melbourne, and online for clients across Australia.

Online therapy offers flexibility for professionals with demanding schedules and accessibility for those living regionally or interstate.

Alongside my clinical work, I also offer professional supervision as a Board-Approved Supervisor, supporting psychologists in reflective, ethical, and evidence-based practice.
