As a former athlete who navigated the complexities of high-performance environments, I know how mental barriers and life events can push us out of shape. My transition to psychology emerged from a simple truth: thriving requires more than skill-it demands environments that nurture Self-awareness (recognising your mental patterns), Humour (finding lightness in growth), Authenticity (aligning actions with values), Purpose (connecting to meaningful goals), and Empathy (leading with understanding).
My journey started with a dream to reach the top as an athlete. Along the way, I discovered that real performance isn’t just about physical skill-it’s about understanding yourself, overcoming setbacks, and building the right mindset for you. That passion led me to psychology, where I now help athletes and individuals unlock their best, both in sport, business and in life.
I’m a HCPC-registered, BPS-chartered, and fully insured sport & performance psychologist, with a background that blends coaching, education, and applied psychology. I’ve worked pitch-side in professional football, managed teams of therapists in the third sector, and consulted for national governing bodies. But whether you’re aiming for a personal best or navigating life’s challenges, my approach always starts with you.
At Shape Psychology, I believe in forming real relationships first. We’ll work together to decide what you want from our sessions-empowering you to set the direction and pace. I draw on a range of proven therapeutic and coaching techniques, adapting them to fit your unique needs and goals, so you get support that’s both effective and ethical. My practice is grounded in person-centred care, but the same principles apply whether you’re striving for performance, wellbeing, or simply a better everyday life.
Above all, I’m here to help you thrive-by combining the best of science and a genuine human connection.
