Nonie Carr - Enhance Life Psychology

Nonie Carr - Enhance Life Psychology Working together to live an enhanced life.

In April 2017 I opened the doors of Enhance Life Psychology.I started operating within a multi-disciplinary clinic in Prahran. In late 2020 I move Enhance Life Psychology to Albert Park and work within Crawley House on Montague St on the edges of the Village. I love working as a psychologist as it aligns with my values of honesty, fairness and hope, as well as my desire to help others. I’ve been a secondary school teacher and have worked as a school psychologist in a girls’ secondary school for almost 10 years, while also working in private practice. One of the things I enjoy about working with people, and teaching is seeing that lightbulb moment, that “ahaha...” when things click, there is understanding, and a shift occurs.
I’m a Counselling Psychologist which means that there is a focus on mental health and wellbeing. I help you to live your best life; to live your life enhanced. I help you to find your strengths and together we work to find a new and helpful perspective, to explore different strategies and behaviours, and to develop a helpful understanding of your history and experiences. I help you identify goals and how to work towards them. I help you get the best from your performance in your chosen field of expertise. I help adults and adolescents to find ways to manage their worry or anxiety & stress to enhance their ability to perform at their best, whether in sport, the performing arts, at work or at home. I help you find ways to shift unhelpful thinking styles and to find a more helpful perspective. I help you to discover your values and to set goals to work towards that will help you to get the best out of your life; to live your life enhanced. When you’d like to have a conversation with me about how I might be able to help you, send a message or contact me through my website (link in my bio). Let me help you enhance your life.

Do nerves ever get in the way of performing at your best?
That racing heart, tight chest, shaky hands, or spiralling thoughts — it’s your body’s natural stress response kicking in.
A little anxiety can actually help you focus and stay sharp.
But when it starts to take over, it can make performing — in sport, on stage, or at work — feel harder than it needs to be.
In my latest blog post, I explore what performance anxiety really is, why it happens, and how to work with it rather than fight it.
It’s relevant for anyone who wants to perform at their best — athletes, artists, professionals, or students.

✨ Performance anxiety doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you — it just means something really matters to you and your brain and body are doing their job a little too well.
With the right tools, you can learn to steady your nerves and find your flow again.

When anxiety builds, your body is the first to know — your breath shortens, your heart races, your mind spins.
In my latest blog, I share three simple breathing techniques to help calm your body and mind — anytime, anywhere.
Breathwork isn’t about control — it’s about connection.

✨ Professional Update ✨
I’m pleased to share that I’ve recently been endorsed as a Clinical Psychologist, alongside my existing endorsement as a Counselling Psychologist.

Seventeen years of practice has taught me this: the person in front of me is never the problem. Each individual brings their own strengths and experiences that can be drawn on to create change and live more fully. A diagnosis may describe what someone is going through, but it never defines who they are.

This endorsement is meaningful—not only as recognition of my work, but because it allows me to offer clients greater access to therapy through higher rebates. That was my strongest motivation in applying. I’m grateful to my colleagues and to the AAPi for their support in making this possible.

💬 If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, this might be the right time to reach out. You can contact me via my website - www.enhancelife.com.au

A blank page, mind also blank, clock ticking, fingers tapping... will that idea come? what if it doesn’t? the nothing in my mind expands... silence and the ticking clock, the tug of other tasks pulls at my mind... there has to be an idea somewhere... the empty page continues to stare at me... my feet start twitching and the pull of other tasks gets stronger... ok... done... I’ll come back... the page remains empty and I get up and start doing other things that ‘need’ doing...

I was supposed to be writing something completely different… (part of a storytelling course I’m doing)… but you know that blank feeling… you’re not alone. I’m happy to sit in the struggle with you… whatever that struggle might be. We can explore it together.

How much mess can you tolerate??
This mess was created within 30 minutes. I sat in a telehealth session with a client and noticed Bindi having great fun! Nothing important was destroyed… just the recycling!
Can you sit with mess? Can tolerate the distress that this mess creation might create in you? Is it ok to make a mess?
Once she was done, Bindi decided to lie down and wait for me to finish!
Sitting with distress, whether it’s from an emotional experience or pain or a situation you’re in is an useful skill… you can’t always make distress go away, sometimes we need to sit with it and allow it to pass.
(And, yes, I did clean up the mess once I was finished work! It’s not something that needed to be sat with for longer.)

Happy New Year!

As we start a new year we often start setting resolutions and wanting to become a new, different version of ourselves. It's not always realistic, but it's a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the months ahead. Are you looking to embrace new challenges, strengthen relationships, or focus on personal growth, the start of a new year can be a good time to shift focus. But it's always a good idea to ensure that these goals or resolutions are realistic and achievable. Along the way it's good to remember to cherish the moments with loved ones and celebrate the even the smallest victories. Here's to a year filled with joy, success, and meaningful experiences. Wishing you a prosperous and fulfilling 2025!

Sometimes it can be helpful having a chat to a professional to explore these goals and what that 'new version' of yourself might look like. I have immediate availability for new clients and I'd love to help you explore what it might mean to be a new or different version of yourself.
