Specialist Support for the Endurance Mindset
Supporting Runners, Cyclists & Triathletes with Sport Psychology to Enhance Performance and Confidence
I specialise in working with endurance athletes where performance depends not just on physical preparation, but on the ability to manage pressure, discomfort and decision-making over time. This includes helping athletes target iconic events including the Houston Half Marathon, London Marathon, Valencia Marathon, and international games including the European Indoor Championships, and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
My approach focuses on developing practical psychological skills that transfer directly into training and competition.

Who I work with
I work primarily with endurance athletes, including:
Marathon and ultra runners
Triathletes
Cyclists
While my core expertise lies in endurance, the psychological principles of high performance are universal. I apply the same rigorous, evidence-based standards to help elite golfers, cricketers, and tennis players master their mental game.
Golf Psychology: Enhancing focus and maintaining composure under pressure on the green.
Cricket Performance: Developing the concentration required for long-duration play and high-stakes match situations.
Tennis Mental Coaching: Building the resilience to stay present and composed through every set.
What I help with
Athletes I work with are often physically well-prepared, but looking to improve the psychological side of performance.
This may include:
Managing race anxiety for endurance races and events
Building confidence
Improving focus and concentration
Pacing and decision-making under pressure
Maintaining consistency in training
The aim is to develop skills that hold up when it matters most.
