My Story

Through playing sports and having an interest in psychology, I soon realised how much effort is put into training our physical components of our bodies but how little attention is given to working on our mind. I found that becoming a sport psychologist was a natural fit for me.

I'm from New Zealand and I've represented my country at age-group level for basketball and received a scholarship to play in America while I completed my undergraduate studies in psychology. Being a Kiwi, it's also hard not to be fully immersed in rugby and love the outdoors and surfing.

Now based in Nottingham, I am a HCPC registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist since 2022. I've perviously roles have included;

  • Premier League Football academy;

  • Women’s professional Cricket and netball;

  • University basketball and athletics;

  • And supported lawn bowls England at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. 

Some areas I focus my work on with clients and teams are: performing under pressure, group dynamics and helping people live a meaningful and value-driven life through sport.​

Please contact me, I'd love to hear from you.
