C.L. Sport Psychology: Understanding Yourself.
Performing Your Way.
Sport is more than what happens on the scoreboard. It's pressure, excitement, doubt, confidence, mistakes, setbacks, and enjoyment.
I work with athletes to understand their internal experiences and develop ways of responding that align with the competitor they want to be.
Maybe you’ve experienced...
You know what you’re capable of, but struggle to show it when it matters.
One mistake can affect the rest of your performance.
You put a lot of pressure on yourself to perform.
You overthink before or during competition.
You become frustrated when things don’t go to plan.
You struggle with criticism — or even praise.
You compare yourself with other athletes.
You have lost some enjoyment or motivation in your sport.
You’re returning from injury, a setback or a period of poor performance.
You simply want to understand yourself better as an athlete.
You don’t have to be struggling for sport psychology to be useful.
I don't believe sport psychology is about fixing athletes.
I don't see sport psychology as someone coming along with all the answers. I believe people are experts in their own experiences.
My role is to create a space where we can explore what's happening, make sense of it together and consider what you want to do next.
Sometimes that might involve developing a practical strategy. Sometimes it might mean challenging an unhelpful pattern. Sometimes it might simply mean having the space to properly understand what's going on.
The work is collaborative, curious and tailored to the person in front of me.
I'm not here to fix athletes. I'm here to help them understand themselves better and develop the flexibility to respond to whatever sport throws at them.

What might we work on?
These are just some examples of the things we might explore. Our work is collaborative and tailored to what is showing up for you, not a rigid checklist.
Understanding yourself
Exploring thoughts, emotions, behaviours, experiences and situations that affect your sport.
Responding to pressure
Exploring how to make space for nerves, uncertainty and pressure without allowing them to dictate what you do next.
Dealing with mistakes
Understanding what happens after something goes wrong and developing ways of responding that help you move forward.
Confidence
Exploring confidence as something you can develop a relationship with, rather than something you have to constantly feel.
Values & identity
Exploring who you want to be as an athlete — and how sport fits within the wider person you are.
Setbacks & change
Navigating injury, poor performance, selection, changes in motivation or other challenges that come with being an athlete.
Enjoyment & motivation
Exploring what brought you to sport and what you want your relationship with it to look like now.
