SPORT, PERFORMANCE AND ATHLETE WELLBEING
How can
I help?
Sport and performance environments can be incredibly rewarding, but they can also bring unique challenges.
Having played rugby to National League level and experienced elite player development environments as a teenager, I understand many of the unique challenges that athletes face. Alongside my sporting background, my NHS psychology experience allows me to support individuals in developing practical strategies to manage pressure, navigate setbacks and maintain wellbeing both within and beyond sport.
Challenges I support with:
-
Performance pressure
-
Confidence and self-belief
-
Competition anxiety
-
Injury, rehabilitation and return to play
-
Selection, deselection and setbacks
-
Balancing sport with life
-
Identity beyond sport
Whether you're an academy athlete, student athlete, amateur competitor or experienced performer, the psychological demands of pressure, expectations and setbacks can affect confidence, motivation, wellbeing and enjoyment.
My aim is not simply to help people perform better, but to help them build the psychological skills and resilience needed to thrive in demanding environments. I provide practical support to help individuals navigate challenges and perform at their best both in sport and in life.
