About Me

I work with athletes, teams and performers to improve their mental performance. Most people recognise that high-pressure moments are won by those who are able to mentally thrive under the pressure, yet many performers don't spend time ensuring that they are mentally prepared. Making the mental game a strength as opposed to a weakness is my aim with all of my clients. I thoroughly enjoy the process of helping people to identify what parts of their mental game they can improve, and then designing and implementing a programme to suit their needs. Confidence, motivation, concentration and resilience are all areas that can be worked on, using evidence-based techniques. I have played and watched sport all my life and have always been interested in how the best performers consistently deal with pressure. Now I get to help you do this!

How can I help you?

Psychological support is now recognised as an integral resource in high performance teams. As a coach, your team/athlete’s performance largely depends on how mentally prepared they are. Applying sport psychology theory in how you conduct your trainings and any dealings with your athletes can allow your athletes to play with freedom, motivation and confidence. Sport psychology can help you to understand the 'why' behind the behaviours you're noticing on the pitch/court/arena. For example, if you can thoroughly understand what your players are thinking in key moments (like the last 2 minutes of a match), you can start ensuring that your team/athlete engages in the most helpful form of thinking in these moments. Mentally preparing athletes for competition will allow them to thrive in these moments.

Whether you’re an amateur, professional, semi-professional or aspiring professional athlete, you'll naturally have a desire to make the most of your talent. Many athletes have spent thousands of hours developing technical, tactical and physical aspects of their performance. The mental aspect of performance is often neglected, yet most athletes will recognise that this is the most important aspect when it comes to performing under pressure. If you’re looking to differentiate yourself from your competitors and gain an edge, improving your mental performance is a necessity.

Much like athletes, performing well under pressure is a focus for musicians, dancers and actors. Being able to perform in front of large audiences is a prerequisite for high achievement in any of the performing arts. Performance psychology can be used to help you achieve a sense of freedom that leads to your best performances. If you are aiming to differentiate yourself from others, training your mind to deal with the demands of your role is an important step.

The best athletes spend hours making sure they are physically ready but also spend a huge amount of time making sure that they are mentally ready. Even the top athletes have times of low confidence and motivation. But by preparing for these moments, they can learn to overcome these pressures. As a youth athlete, you can get a head-start by learning about mental performance early. Working on your mental performance can allow you to play with more confidence and enjoy your sport more.

In a fast-emerging industry, esports players face some unique challenges in an effort to achieve high performance. Dealing with the pressures and intense competition demands can be difficult for even the most experienced players. At the highest level, burnout is a common source of retirement among esports players. In order for players to maximise their performance and enjoyment, they need to take care of their mental wellbeing. Being able to work co-operatively in a team and deal with frustration and setbacks in a high-pressure situation often impacts how well a team performs. Esports has seen the introduction of many high performance services and sport psychology is the latest to have an impact on the field, now taking up an integral role in many teams.

Sport is a fantastic environment for young people to learn important life skills such as teamwork, resilience, self-discipline, commitment, respect and taking on responsibility. For teenage athletes, the demands of sport often increase as they get older, often coinciding with academic pressures. Maintaining a good balance in their lifestyle is important for the developing athlete during these years, but more importantly, it’s important for the developing person. I place the person’s needs at the forefront of any consultation. It is my aim to help my clients get the most out of themselves on the pitch/court/arena and enjoy it in the process.
