Sport psychology is the study of how our thinking affects how we perform.

A sport psychologist applies psychological theory and research in dealing with athletes to improve performance and wellbeing.

Session structure depends on the stage of consultation. Initial sessions are focused on gathering information, getting to know you and helping you to understand your own psychology. Later sessions may involve learning and practicing specific mental skills.

No, an initial consultation will give you a good idea of what to expect, and if it isn’t for you, that’s fine. A big part of how I work is about maintaining your control – you’re the one who makes the decisions on the pitch/court/arena, so it’s up to you here too.

I have a MSc in Sport, Exercise & Performance Psychology and a BA in Applied Psychology. I am also trained in Motivational Interviewing through SportStrata and am a member of the Psychological Society of Ireland and American Association for Sport Psychology. I am currently pursuing accreditation with Sport Ireland and the European Federation of Sport Psychology.
