Psychotherapy helps when a lot of things in life are going sideways. Sometimes it's sport or performance related but often times it's not.

Here are a few reasons people come to see me:

• They're feeling depressed and anxious after an injury.

• They're sabotaging themselves by overtraining because that villain of self-doubt is pushing them around.

• They feel this drive for perfection is pushing them around so much they're spinning their wheels and losing focus in other areas of life.

• They're beating themselves up over a bad performance and taking it home.

• They're feeling jittery, anxious maybe even a bit of panic about…everything.

• They're feeling stressed out, overthinking and can't focus.

• They're just trying to figure things out in their relationship, should they have kids? Should they get married?

• They're feeling burnt out and tired from sport, school, work or life and finding it difficult to juggle it all.

The goal of mental performance coaching is to enhance and elevate performance or to overcome a specific block to performance.

People that come to see me for mental performance coaching:

• Have experienced anxiety before a race or at the starting line.

• They want to develop a bit more resilience, mental toughness or grit to get to the finish faster or overcome a block to performance

• They lose focus on their goals in the middle of a race and 'settle for less.'

• They want to get clear on their goals but don’t know where to start

• They perform really well in practice, but their performance drops off dramatically when it's go time.

• They’re a coach and want their team to develop a tool-kit like working on self-talk, or build team culture and cohesion.
