Athlete
Well-being
Even the most elite athletes face challenges beyond the game. Our counselling services address personal, emotional, and transitional issues that impact confidence, focus, and overall wellbeing - ensuring athletes can bring their best selves to their sport.
Contact UsIdentity, Transitions & Retirement
Athletic identity is powerful – but fragile. When it shifts or is lost, athletes often feel untethered.
We support transitions such as:
- Injury-related identity crises
- Deselection or non-selection
- Switching clubs, sports, or competitive levels
- Retirement and “what now?” syndrome
- Struggles with motivation after burnout
- Feeling “left behind” by teammates or peers
We help athletes explore who they are outside of results – and what success looks like on their own terms.
Family, Academic & Social Challenges
Athletes don’t live in a vacuum. When stress outside the sport builds, it inevitably affects how they train, compete, and recover.
We offer tailored support for:
- Family dynamics (conflict, cultural expectations)
- Parent-athlete pressure cycles
- Academic overwhelm and exam stress
- Navigating friendship or romantic relationships
- Social media anxiety, comparison culture, and performance validation
- Isolation from peers due to travel, success, or injury
Our work helps athletes set boundaries, build emotional awareness, and feel in control of their lives.
Mental Health & Emotional Well-being
We normalise mental health conversations in sport – and provide real tools that work.
Areas of support include:
- Anxiety (pre-competition nerves, social anxiety, overthinking)
- Low mood, depression, emotional numbness
- Trauma recovery (injury, bullying, loss, abuse)
- Eating concerns, body image dissatisfaction, disordered habits
- Sleep issues related to stress or overtraining
- Self-doubt, perfectionism, and fear of failure
- Emotional volatility (anger, frustration, emotional outbursts during matches)
We use trauma-informed, athlete-aware therapy models – where mental health is respected, and performance is protected.
