I offer a range of services for sports teams, athletes, coaches and performance directors. Whether you’re an elite athlete/institution looking to improve psychological skills or a grassroots club looking at ways to increase participation, I’m happy help. These services can be offered as single session/day interventions, or via a flexible retainer basis for ongoing support. Areas of expertise include:

  • Leveraging social identity research to help you build strategies for increasing & maintaining participation.

  • The COPE approach. Helping athletes identify Competition, Organisational & Personal stressors. Evaluate current beliefs and implement effective coping strategies.

  • Helping athletes understand the interaction between thoughts and performance. Cultivating self-awareness and harnessing the power of self-talk.

  • Providing a structure for developing process, performance and outcome goals. Helping athletes to develop challenging, yet realistic short, mid and long-term goals.

  • Helping athletes understand how imagery practice can enhance performance. Collaborating to develop specific pre-performance imagery scripts.

  • Identifying attitudes towards injury and teaching specific rehabilitation strategies.

  • For youth athletes who need mental skills training as part of their transition into the senior ranks or retiring athletes who are looking to develop a new identity after the routine, regiment and camaraderie of elite sport.
