What Our Clients Say

We are extremely proud of Jill. She has really matured over the past few months. The things she takes in her stride now compared to running away and hiding is amazing! You've worked wonders with her. She's now encouraging other in training, calling for the ball, wanting to improve, competing with better players, even eating healthier! Last night she was chuffed a Man City ETC player tried out with her team and said well done to her after - she said she wanted her to feel welcome 😳. We told Jill you have finished the sessions now and she was gutted!

John Dad of Young Female Footballer

"At the time of contacting you my 11 year old cricket player was struggling with managing negative emotions during and after matches, impacting on his confidence for the rest of the game. Your input allowed him to develop strategies to be more resilient on the pitch, with the bonus that they translate to other areas of every day life. You used a flexible approach, which included a couple of sessions on the pitch, for this I am truly grateful and would absolutely recommend you. I should also add, just as importantly myself and partner also learnt how we could better support our son too."

Typical Challenges That We Help Children Overcome

Compete As Well As You Practice

Fear is a natural part of growth, especially in sports, where children face many challenges that test their ability to compete in matches, races or events. We support kids to deal better with pressure and perceived stressors.

Enjoy Your Sporting Experience

Children’s physical abilities, resilience, and emotional tolerance are tested when playing sport. We help teach skills to face adversity, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love for physical activity.

Overcome Self Imposed Barriers

Many children get in their own way placing limits on their own ability in specific situations. We focus on nurturing courage and resilience so that children feel more in control of their destiny.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kids Sports Psychology?

It’s specialised support that helps children develop the mental skills they need to enjoy sport, handle pressure, and grow in confidence.

How does Sports Psychology for Children work online?

Sessions are delivered via video call (Zoom, Teams or Google Meet), making it convenient and accessible. Children can learn from the comfort of their own home. The childs age determines how long the session will be (typically between 30 and 50 minutes).

Will it help if my child has low confidence in everyday life, not just sport?

Yes. The tools taught in child sports psychology also help with school, friendships, and life beyond sport. Essentially we are using sport as a vehicle to develop life skills.

We support children and young athletes from 7 years old upwards, tailoring sessions to their developmental stage.
