A Sport and Exercise Psychologist, a former athlete and someone in your corner for the part of performance no one can see.
Media, talks and brands
On stage, on air, and trusted by brands
One to one support is just part of what I do. I speak at events, partner with performance brands, and create content that puts this work in front of thousands, from the London Marathon Expo main stage to the brands athletes actually train with.

What made it even more powerful was hearing from elite sports psychologist, Antonio Capasso, on mental resilience, focus under fatigue, and the mindset required to keep moving forward when your body is telling you to stop.

My story
I help athletes build the skills I never had, so they can handle the pressure without losing themselves in it.
As a youth athlete I gave everything to tennis. I travelled to Spain, Italy, Croatia and Miami, chasing a professional career before I had even turned sixteen. What nobody taught me was how to handle what elite performance does to you on the inside.
The pressure built, and slowly it took everything, including my love for the game. Walking away at fifteen cost me my identity at the very age I was still trying to build one.
That experience became my compass. It is why I do this work. I help athletes, at every level, build the psychological skills I never had, so they can keep performing under pressure without losing who they are in the process. I am still a competitor myself, as a runner now, so this has never stopped being personal.
Qualifications and approach
Trained, accredited and registered
How I work
My work blends two proven frameworks, ACT (Acceptance Commitment Training) and the Chimp Paradox, applied to your sport and your situation rather than pulled off a shelf.
I start by understanding what is really going on beneath the surface, because tools only hold up under pressure once you know what you are actually dealing with. Registered, evidence based, and genuinely human.
Applied experience
From grassroots to elite, across more than 30 sports
I work with individuals and teams: professional and academy athletes, para athletes, youth talents, and committed amateurs who take their sport seriously. If you are pushing yourself in your sport, there is a good chance I have worked with someone facing what you are facing.
