Services

Everyone’s performance environment is unique and complex. External factors usually involve a complicated mix of competitors, detractors and demotivators and internally, our habitual automatic thoughts and feelings colour both our perceptions of present challenges and expectations for future achievements.  I work collaboratively with clients to help you develop greater self-insight (understanding what’s helping and what’s hindering you), guide you to new ways of approaching old problems and develop various psychological strategies that will help you realise your full potential.

I can train you in a range of psychological strategies. These are drawn from a range of established therapeutic approaches (e.g. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness Integrated CBT) within a brief ‘goal centred’ therapeutic approach. This means focused, tailored sessions that emphasise practical, helpful strategies and activities, to achieve the outcomes you desire within a reasonable timeframe.

I also bring my knowledge and experience as a High Performance distance running coach. I appreciate the daily demands of a training environment, I have technical knowledge of coaching principles, different training approaches and training phases. I have walked alongside many athletes, through the highs and lows of their sport - from recreational runners contemplating their first 10km to elite athletes’ pursuing qualifying standards and national team selection. I can work collaboratively with your coach, manager and others within your support team.

Psychological services are provided by telehealth (telephone or video call) so you can access support whether you are based in Australia or around the world. I can also offer in person sessions, at a clinic in Burleigh (Friday mornings) or on request at your training/competition/performance venue. Please see our 'Fees' and FAQs for further information regarding services provided.
