Approach:

The psychologist will work with you collaboratively to develop psychological flexibility, grounded in Acceptance approaches, most commonly through Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT).

We will work with the needs and interests of the individual to find the most suitable and beneficial intervention that will work with each client. This will always be co-created with the client to support engagement.

Monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions for moving towards your goals will be ongoing, however, there will be also be formal monitoring periodically.

Areas of support:

We offer support across a wide range of areas, from enhancing performance to navigating the challenges that sport, performance, and life can bring. Whether you are looking to build confidence, manage performance anxiety, sharpen focus and concentration, develop pre-performance routines, strengthen motivation, overcome setbacks, support injury recovery, or navigate transitions such as burnout or career change, we are here to help.

We also work with organisations and businesses, applying the principles of performance psychology to support teams and individuals to thrive under pressure in competitive environments.

We take a neuroaffirmative approach in everything we do, enhancing the strengths and supporting the challenges of each individual’s specific requirements. Where a need falls outside of our scope, we work closely alongside a trusted network of professionals. From physiotherapists and nutritionists to clinical psychologists and mental health specialists, so we can always direct you to the most appropriate support for your individual needs.

Environment:

Usually sessions are delivered online. We use a variety of platforms to suit the need of the client. The aim is to create a psychologically safe space to explore your internal and external experiences. We ensure confidentiality, delivering sessions in a quiet space with headphones in. We ask that clients are in a confidential, safe space to talk openly.

When delivering one-to-one sessions with young people, we create an environment where they are able to feel safe to be completely honest. This openness helps us identify the true need for support, leading us in the right direction. Young people are naturally inclined to seek approval, avoid worry, and protect those they love most. This means they can often find it difficult to speak openly when a parent or carer is in the room. Without a doubt the parent of the young person is usually the most important and trusted adult in your child’s life. With that in mind, where sessions are delivered online, we ask that the trusted adult remains in the vicinity , but within a separate space where the young person can engage with full confidentiality and feel safe to be open and honest. This small but important step gives your child the best possible foundation to benefit from their sessions.

Session duration:

45 - 60 minute sessions - The timing of each session will depend upon the needs of the client.

An average session often takes 45 minutes, however, we account for an extended 15 minute to ensure flexibility for each individual need within each session.

There is no additional charge for the extra 15 minutes.
