Let's rediscover the joy for your sport
My mission is to work with you on your mentality. From a positive psychology and humanistic perspective, I deliver workshops and presentations to groups or 1-1with the aim of helping you enjoy your sport and perform better.
I have worked with elite athletes including rowers, rugby, hockey, football, golf, tennis and padel.I have also worked with young athletes in schools and recreational sports players and athletes.
My experience includes: mental skills coaching with sports players and athletes, athlete confidence, performing under pressure, sport mindset, goal setting, athlete wellbeing, mental toughness, pre-match routines, dealing with team selection and de-selection, dealing with competitiveness (particularly for women and girls), concerns around body size, (particularly for young men and teenagers), injury recovery, parent-child sports relationship and motivation.
I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation.
We can talk online anywhere or in-person in London and the South East.

You work on physique and technique, why neglect your mind game?
Mental performance coaching can help sports players and athletes with managing pressure, developing self-belief, improving focus and concentration, and sustaining motivation in sport. It supports you to find flow and develop a competition mindset, establishing effective pre-performance routines, setting meaningful goals and maintaining a healthy mentality in your sport. Working on you mind can also help with coping with nerves, overcoming setbacks, handling mistakes, building confidence, improving consistency, regulating emotions and developing self-awareness. For teams, this includes strengthening team cohesion, communication and leadership, while also supporting athletes through dealing with injury, developing an injury recovery mindset, returning to sport and continuing to flourish.

Qualifications
I have anMSc in Sport Psychology (Distinction). An LTA Level 2 accredited tennis coach and Padel coach (Enhanced DBS, up-to-date Safeguarding and First Aid). I played tennis competitively as a junior with a county, regional and national ranking and have coached tennis throughout my adult life. My other career includes CEO and COO roles in technology and media production.
Coping with Pressure
Many sports players and athletes encounter nerves or anxiety at some point in your competing life. Whether you're an intermediate club player, wanting to focus and progress your game or an elite athlete dealing with intense training and competition, there are several approaches to get step you into a more powerful midset .
Padel Coaching
Winning junior county tennis doubles titles taught me the importance of working in pairs. For the social fun of this game to the technical, tactical and mental aspects - get in touch.
Positive Philosophy
Whether its mental or physical, playing tennis or padel is your time. Let me help you have more fun on court. When you're enjoying yourself improvement follows naturally.
Using Psychology to Optimise Player Development (LTA)
This LTA course taught me how to incorporate psychological challenges into coaching sessions to help build mentally robust players.
MSc Sport Psychology
This year I graduated with my MSc in Sport Psychology at University of East London (grade available Nov 2026). This excellent masters degree has given me strong theoretical frameworks and practical 1-1 applied hours helping young and adult athletes with their mental game.
Coaching Women and Girls (LTA)
Understanding the barriers and challenges girls and women face in sport throughout their lifetimes has enabled me to coach women and girls more effectively.
As someone who has run international companies and played junior sport to national level, I understand the specific kinds of pressure that those who compete encounter.
Wanting to better understand my own mentality and mindset, I undertook years of Jungian based therapy, read all those books and completed a Masters in sport psychology. This gave me the profound gift of a framework for understanding my worst impulses, forgiving myself (a bit), reseting and leaning into my best ones.
It gave me a clear path to improve my mentality, which in turn, without wishing to sound dramatic, improved my life.
I would like to do the same for you.
