Let’s work together

Sport Psychology

Working directly with you to improve performance, overcome challenges, and develop wellbeing in and through sport.

Client-centred, flexible approach

I develop and deliver sport psychology support to my clients on the basis of their individual goals and specific needs. All of my consultancy starts with a briefing, where I can get to know you and begin to figure out the best ways to help support you.

Personal characteristics, coaching relationships, team culture and family contexts are all taken into account in my work. We are all rounded individuals with complex personal and social lives, which I pay close attention to as I get to know you.

This makes sure that the work we do together is effective in addressing the specific challenges facing you right now. 

Research-informed practice

I hold a PhD in sport psychology, and am an academic as well as a practitioner. This means that I conduct my own sport psychology research, as well as teach this subject at university level.

My work is always informed by the latest research developments; I steer clear of fads and clichés, to make sure everything I do is supported by science. There is a lot of advice out there that claims to be ‘sport psychology’, but not all of it is scientifically valid!

This ensures that the work we do together is built on sound principles and a good evidence base; I won’t waste your time on things that aren’t going to help you.

Open to everyone

Sport psychology is not just for elite-level athletes. I work with all ability levels and age groups, across a variety of sports. I also offer support to athletes’ parents and other family members, emphasising not just performance but also personal growth and wellbeing.

For athletes in pairs or team sports, I encourage whole-group involvement in psychology support, where possible.  This makes sure that I can support all athletes within the contexts of their specific performance needs.

Lastly, I also offer psychology training and support to coaches and referees. Research shows that you are performers with your own unique set of needs, and can benefit from psychological skills training just as much as athletes do!
