Therapy for Athletes

The Mental Side of Sport, Training, and Performance

Athletes understand that success isn’t just physical. Mental strength, focus, and emotional resilience play a powerful role in training, performance, and recovery. Whether you're dealing with performance anxiety, recovering from an injury, navigating burnout, or adjusting to life after sport, therapy offers space to work through the mental side of these challenges.

Therapy can benefit elite competitors, recreational athletes, and active individuals who prioritize physical health as part of their overall well-being. It can also support those transitioning out of sport, redefining their identity, or coping with setbacks that affect confidence, motivation, or self-worth.

Common Focus Areas in Therapy for Athletes

• Performance Anxiety and Mental Blocks
  Managing nerves, pressure, and perfectionism that show up before or during competition.

• Injury Recovery and Mental Resilience
  Processing the emotional impact of injury, rebuilding trust in your body, and staying mentally engaged during recovery.

• Burnout, Pressure, and Balance
  Exploring the connection between performance and self-worth, and learning how to maintain a more sustainable relationship with sport.

• Identity and Transition
  Navigating retirement, lifestyle shifts, or changes in training goals while adjusting to life beyond competitive sport.

• Goal Setting and Motivation
  Strengthening focus, setting realistic goals, and working through slumps or performance plateaus.
