About Me

My
Story
A former professional football goalkeeper with over 500 first-team appearances across a 19-year career. Alongside my playing career, I became fascinated by the psychological side of performance, why some people thrive under pressure while others struggle, and how our relationship with thoughts, emotions, and setbacks influences performance and wellbeing.
I am currently completing an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology, I have a MSc in Psychology.and First Class Honours degree in Sport and Exercise Science and a UEFA-qualified outfield and goalkeeping coach, a qualified APPI Pilates Instructor, My experiences as a player, coach, and instructor led me to train in performance psychology, combining a passion for sport, learning, and helping others develop.
My approach is grounded in the belief that every individual is the expert in their own experience. I aim to create a supportive environment where people feel heard, understood, and able to explore challenges openly. Influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help individuals develop the psychological flexibility to perform, learn, and live more effectively under pressure.
Ultimately,
A calm guide who helps people see things clearly.
