Perhaps you struggle with body acceptance. Want freedom from compulsive exercise? Or maybe it’s time to ditch the fitness tracker and be your healthiest self. The way we move, think, and eat can reveal a lot about ourselves. I will help you to look deep within. To notice and make adjustments that align with the best expression of yourself.
I have recovered from exercise addiction, and disordered beliefs around food, and as a competitive marathon runner battled with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). Having completed a Master’s in Psychotherapy, a Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, Naturopathy, and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology I discovered a profound gap between the kinds of daily struggles people experience around food and their body. Through my marathon training, I recognized that understanding the psychology of eating is key to helping people create a nourishing, supportive relationship with food and their body.

I am deeply fascinated by athletes and their remarkable focus on their sport, as well as the impact of mental activity and emotional regulation on their performance. I find the different challenges of being involved in team or individual sports thrilling.
In team sports, athletes need a diverse set of skills: teamwork, psychological insight, positive self-talk, visualisation skills, leadership, understanding of the game, and awareness of each player's role and abilities. This requires self-discipline, focus, and the ability to manage one's mind, emotions, and insecurities, as well as navigate complex team dynamics.
For individual sports, managing thoughts, self-talk, handling self-doubt, emotions, and insecurities is even more crucial due to their solitary presence in their specific arena. Emotional regulation is essential for all athletes, as emotions can quickly derail performance, especially when dealing with the pressures of success and being in the public eye.
Another area I love working in is helping athletes recover from injuries. This involves navigating their emotions, the often long recovery process, self-doubt, isolation, fear of re-injury, and finding their place in the sport again.
Additionally, I find great joy in assisting professional athletes transition into retirement and a new, meaningful life. This significant life change can be daunting, as athletes are usually still young with a long life ahead. They may face a period of grieving their old life, perhaps regret what they haven't achieved, and deal with insecurities about their new identity. The loss of their team can be a great adjustment, especially for men who might also grieve the possibility for free emotional expression and connection that a team provided, which is often more difficult to recreate in 'real' life. The new life may not feel as exciting and thrilling as the old. However, this transition can also open up new opportunities for joy, meaning, and self-growth.

Psychology of life naturally overspills into sports and the competitiveness is always an issue for many to deal with in terms of failure or lack of energy or emotional maturity at any level. Are you a good sport? And of you lose what do you do with the blame and failure of mistakes, etc,
