With over a decade of experience in elite performance environments, I provide evidence-based psychological support to help athletes and high-performers navigate the pressures of professional sport. As a Chartered Psychologist (BPS) and HCPC Registered Practitioner, my approach combines rigorous academic grounding with practical, "front-foot" strategies.

I currently serve as the Lead Academy Psychologist for Harlequins Rugby Football Club, where I oversee the psycho-social development of athletes in the junior and senior academies. My portfolio includes:

  • Providing psychological support to Olympic Athletes, particular in sailing based on the south coast of England. 

  • Professional Football, Rugby, and Cricket.

  • I am a long-standing Sport Psychologist for the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS), delivering 1-1 consultations and workshops to Sport England’s emerging talent.

My Approach

I believe that peak performance is built on a foundation of mental resilience and clarity. My practice is informed by additional  certifications in:

 

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)

Solution-Focused Practice

Single Session Therapy & Spotlight Profiling

 

Beyond clinical practice, I am a Lecturer in Sport Psychology at Southampton Solent University, ensuring my methods remain at the cutting edge of contemporary research and counselling techniques.

 

Why Choose a Practitioner Psychologist?

Working with an HCPC registered professional ensures you are receiving a standard of care that is regulated, ethical, and backed by the highest level of qualification in the UK.
