Helping you Find Your Own Way

I support sports people from the academy stage up to professional level and retirement through sports psychology. Sport is a dedication, a passion, and comes with personal sacrifice. Coping with any change in this focus can be extremely challenging emotionally and ‘just deal with it’ often doesn’t work. Cracks in that immense determination can begin to show when coping with injury, lack of self-belief, life challenges, emotional regulation or retirement. The question ‘what next?’ for many sports professionals is profound. By having emotional support and understanding we can work together to build resilience and work with the changes that are faced.

Young people experience anxiety and stress differently from adults as they are not fully mature and developed. From school, friendship issues, social media, body image & appearance - young people are under more pressure than ever, and this is before we even consider any changes in a family or crisis situations that may occur.
By understanding child development, attachment and how mental health difficulties emerge I offer emotional support and understanding to young people as well as positive coping mechanisms to help grow their confidence, self-esteem, and resilience.

Anxiety and stress are part of everyday life, but if we experience too much it can become toxic and tip us into feeling depressed or limit how we live.

By using talk therapy and exploring the feelings and situations around anxiety, and understanding why we feel anxious - we can work towards reducing these stressful feelings and building greater tolerance to them.

Knowing yourself on a deeper level helps to create healthier coping mechanisms. Which increases self-esteem and personal boundaries helping you to manage stress and anxiety.

Most of us will experience bereavement or loss in our lives as things change. This loss can feel devastating, from feeling shock and denial, sadness, anger, anxiety, depression, or guilt. You may have trouble eating & sleeping or being able to get out of the house.

This can be difficult, painful, and feel overwhelming - but you do not have to experience this alone. I can help by supporting you with person-centred therapy in a safe confidential space, allowing your true feelings to be expressed without concern for anyone else. When you experience having your feelings empathically witnessed, heard, and validated it can support the healing of bereavement grief & loss.

Do you feel stuck in your career or are you looking to make a career change?

I previously worked in Corporate Recruitment whilst studying to be a Counsellor before making the career change.

I can help by identifying transferable skills, communication styles, emotional intelligence and exploring what seems to be holding you back on a deeper level.
