About Marie Carmody
Hi, I’m Marie and I am a registered Clinical Psychologist who works with adults across a range of clinical and non-clinical mental health issues.

I work as an integrative relational psychotherapist and draw upon a previous background in teaching, coaching, and consulting. This experience enhances the broad and flexible approach I bring to therapy. Whether you’re facing challenges at work, in your relationships, or with your sense of self, we can work together to find a new way to experience the world, and a more comfortable way of living in your own skin.

Before Psychology - Career background
Before becoming a psychologist, I worked across a range of fields including education, outdoor leadership, and corporate consulting. Over a career spanning more than 20 years, I’ve supported individuals and teams to develop self-awareness, resilience and performance under pressure – experience that continues to inform my clinical work today.
One career highlight was presenting alongside Leigh Matthews, then Senior Coach of the Brisbane Lions, at a conference on personality dynamics in high-performing teams. We explored how different personality types influence team cohesion, leadership, and outcomes – a powerful intersection of psychology, coaching, and lived experience.

Performance, Neuroscience

& Emotional Regulation

My previous experience as a management consultant and performance coach deepened my interest in the neurobiology of fear, anger, and anxiety, the underlying forces that shape how we relate to others at work and at home.

I had the opportunity to attend the Australian Institute of Sport, where I explored how neurofeedback and brainwave technologies can enhance performance and emotional regulation. This work included studying the impact of anxiety on brainwave activity and learning how to help individuals shift from high beta brain waves (18–30 Hz), associated with stress and hyperarousal, to calmer alpha waves (8–12 Hz), which promote relaxation, clarity, and focus.

Today, I draw on this integration of neuroscience, performance psychology, and trauma-informed therapy to help clients understand and transform their stress responses fostering resilience, self-awareness, and emotional balance.
