Sports Performance Counselling in Glasgow
I offer specialist sports psychology support for adolescents and young adults, helping them develop the mental skills they need to perform with confidence, manage pressure, and enjoy their sport again.
I work collaboratively with young people (and where appropriate, their parents). My approach is evidence-based, supportive, and developmentally appropriate, recognising that young athletes are still growing, both as performers and as people. Sessions are tailored to the individual, their sport, and their goals.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted from holding everything together.

What makes my approach different is how down-to-earth and human it is. I bring warmth, honesty, and practical tools to each session, creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are — no pressure to perform or have it all figured out.

Hi, I'm Sheena. Many of my clients have spent years feeling anxious or out of step, successful on the outside, but quietly struggling inside. Often, they're only just discovering they're peri-menopausal, neurodivergent or navigating big identity shifts and transitions, such as moving to university, changing career or exploring their relationships. Maybe you've always had a love for self-development. You've read the books, you attend the courses, you reflect deeply but something still feels stuck.

Realising you may want a helping hand to navigate a difficult time or explore challenges that are impacting your wellbeing is the first step in your new beginning.

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.
