About Marie-Louise
Clinical Psychologist (APS), registered with AHPRA, with nine years' experience. Marie-Louise Carmody focuses on stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing attachment difficulties, identity and relationship problems, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Marie-Louise writes simply and directly in sessions. She listens for repeating patterns that link current difficulties back to earlier experiences. Conversations aim to clarify why certain reactions and relationship cycles keep happening. Sessions look at feelings, relationships and the expectations people carry about themselves and others.
Her approach draws on relational psychodynamic ideas, trauma-informed ways of working and mentalisation-based therapy, along with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She pays attention to how past attachment experiences shape emotional responses now. This can be helpful when someone struggles with impulsivity, dissociation, shame or chronic relationship conflict.
Therapy sessions involve a collaborative process. Marie-Louise helps people make sense of emotional reactions and relationship patterns. The work often moves between discussing present-day problems and tracing their roots in earlier life events.
She describes therapy as aiming for more than symptom management. The focus is on developing clearer self-understanding, better emotional regulation and more satisfying interpersonal connections. People are invited to explore things at their own pace without needing to have all the answers before they start.

Therapeutic approaches and online work
Marie-Louise uses relational psychodynamic ideas, which focus on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach helps when someone repeatedly experiences the same hurtful relationship cycles or long-standing self-esteem issues.She also works with trauma-informed ways of understanding distress, paying attention to how past traumatic experiences affect emotions and behaviour in daily life. Mentalisation-based therapy is part of her practice too; it teaches people to notice and reflect on thoughts and feelings in themselves and others, which can reduce impulsivity and confusion in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different options with each person and agree on what to try first based on their goals, needs and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses, so methods can shift if something is not helping.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Appropriately registered therapists can conduct effective therapeutic work at a distance, while matching approach and practical arrangements to the person's situation.
