Does this sound familiar?
The physical work is there. Something else keeps getting in the way.
CONFIDENCE
“I know what I can do in training. I just can't seem to do it in competition.”
OVERTHINKING
“I overthink things I normally do automatically.”
CONFIDENCE & SETBACKS
“My confidence disappears when form, selection or results don't go my way.”
FOCUS
“One mistake and I'm thinking about it for the next 20 minutes.”
PRESSURE
“I put so much pressure on myself that I stop playing freely.”
MENTAL PERFORMANCE
“I want the mental side of my performance to be a strength, not an afterthought.”
The mental side of sport
Work on mental performance deliberately.
Performance psychology makes the mental side of sport something you can work on deliberately. Sessions are built around what actually happens in your sport including, confidence, focus, pressure, routines, responding to mistakes, motivation, injury or expectations.
We work to understand the pattern, identify what needs to change and develop strategies you can practise in training and competition.
Psychology-led performance support
More than mental skills coaching.
Work with a Performance Psychologist whose experience spans developing athletes through to elite international sport, with training across psychology, sports coaching and mental health in elite sport.
What to expect
1:1 support, built around you and your sport.
Your first session
We start with what is happening in your sport, what you want to improve and the situations that are getting in the way. You don't need to arrive knowing the right psychology language, tell us what you notice in training, competition or around your sport.
Ongoing sessions
Sessions are tailored to what you need. That might include confidence, focus, pressure, responding to mistakes, preparation, motivation or other parts of the mental side of performance. We review what is happening in the real world and work on practical strategies you can use in training and competition.
For parents
Looking for support for your young athlete?
Parents often notice the change first: competition nerves, frustration after mistakes, confidence dropping, excessive pressure or sport becoming less enjoyable.
You don't need to know whether your child “needs a psychologist”. Start with what you're seeing and we can work out whether 1:1 performance psychology is the right fit.
