As a clinical psychologist with a postgraduate certificate in Sport Psychology, I understand that athletic success is about more than physical training or mental strategies—it’s about the well-being of the whole person. My approach, rooted in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), is designed to support athletes not just in overcoming performance-inhibiting anxiety, but also in addressing the emotional and psychological factors that can impact their overall sense of well-being.

Athletes often face immense pressure to perform, and this can lead to anxiety, fear of failure, or even a loss of passion for the sport they once loved. ISTDP focuses on helping you process these underlying emotional challenges, allowing you to feel more grounded, secure, and free to perform without inhibition. By addressing the emotional core of these issues—whether it’s unresolved feelings of doubt, perfectionism, or the weight of external expectations—we create space for you to reconnect with your passion and perform more freely.

This approach doesn’t just target performance; it focuses on helping you as a whole person. When you feel more emotionally balanced and less burdened by fear of failure, you’re able to approach your sport—and your life—with more clarity, confidence, and freedom. ISTDP helps remove the emotional barriers that hold you back, so you can perform at your best, not just as an athlete, but as a more grounded and resilient individual.

If you’re dealing with performance anxiety, a loss of motivation, or feeling emotionally stuck, I’m here to help you move through these challenges, rediscover your passion, and regain the freedom to excel both on and off the field.
