Athletes often seek sports psychotherapy when pressure, fatigue, or the emotional demands of training start to feel overwhelming. A drop in confidence, or a build-up of difficult emotions, can make it hard to stay connected to the sport.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help uncover deeper patterns: how we form attachments, how we look for validation, and how we engage with the world around us. These insights can open up new ways of relating to sport, and to your potential.

I’m a qualified individual and couple psychotherapist with a long-standing interest in endurance sport. I bring personal experience in competitive ultra-distance running, and in leading trail running groups and retreats. I am also trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, with a focus on interoception and awareness.

I work with athletes in a way that is both compassionate and practically informed. We will blend the practicalities of training, with an exploration of how you are relating to your sport, and why you might feel stuck.

I offer 50-minute sessions, in-person or online. This can be short-term or open-ended, it’s up to you. Contact me for a consultation.
