Performance Mindset Support

Helping athletes perform with confidence, clarity, and calm—on and off the field

Performance isn’t just about physical skill. Whether you're an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or a young competitor learning the ropes, mindset plays a powerful role in how you train, compete, and recover.

As a counsellor passionate about mindset and performance, I understand how mental strength shapes success—especially for young athletes and families navigating pressure and burnout.

Using strategies informed by sport psychology principles, counselling, and performance coaching, I support athletes in developing the mental resilience needed to thrive—no matter the result.

Common Challenges I Support

You're not alone if you've ever felt:

  • Overwhelmed by pressure or perfectionism

  • Afraid to fail or make mistakes

  • Held back by low confidence or self-doubt

  • Struggling with pre-game nerves or post-game frustration

  • Mentally exhausted from training or balancing life and sport

  • Unsure how to communicate with your team, coach, or family

  • Coping with injury, setbacks, or loss of motivation

How Mindset Support Can Help

Together, we work to strengthen the mental skills that support performance and wellbeing, including:

  • Focus and attention control

  • Positive self-talk and internal coaching

  • Goal setting and visualisation

  • Pre-performance routines and breathing techniques

  • Navigating identity, setbacks, and transitions

  • Building confidence from the inside out

  • Developing a strong, grounded mindset—no matter what sport you play

Who I Work With

I provide 1:1 support for:

  • Junior athletes (aged 10–18)

  • Parents supporting athletic children

  • Amateur and recreational athletes

  • Competitive athletes in transition or under pressure

  • Coaches or trainers looking to integrate mindset tools

Whether your goal is to make the team, return from injury, or simply enjoy sport again, I tailor support to your unique needs.​​​​​​

 

What Sessions Look Like

Sessions are warm, practical, and confidential. I draw from counselling approaches, cognitive behavioural strategies, performance coaching, and creative tools like guided imagery or journaling.

Depending on your goals, we may explore:

  • Mental routines before and after competition

  • Mapping confidence drains and confidence builders

  • Reframing setbacks as learning opportunities

  • Creating sustainable motivation (not just “push harder”)

  • Managing sport/life balance and emotional recovery
