You may feel stuck, lost, distracted, disconnected, or broken. Men are often expected to conform to traditional masculine ideals, which can include stoicism, emotional suppression, isolation, and a reluctance to seek help. These pressures can make it difficult for men to acknowledge and address their mental health concerns, leading to a wide ranges of concerns including anxiety, addiction, depression, substance misuse, poor relationships, and isolation. I work with men to help break down the stigma of seeking help and provide you with the support and resources you need to prioritize your mental health.

Hello! I am a former competitive athlete, with a love for psychology and understanding human behaviour and emotions. In my work, it excites me that I am able to leverage my passions and do what I love to do: empower others during times of transition, in times of performance, and/or in times of worry. Why? Because as I know what it's like to be full of ambition and inspiration struggling with a lack of direction and skills to help get me moving on the right path.

Sports Performance Counsellors
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualisation, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.
How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.
How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.
What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
