I am a qualified Sport and Exercise Psychologist, known for my inquisitive nature, boundless curiosity, and unique background as a former table tennis athlete. My multifaceted journey through the world of sport and psychology has equipped me with a profound understanding of the athlete's mindset and the intricate interplay between mental and physical performance.

My passion for sport psychology was ignited during my own career as a competitive table tennis athlete. Having spent years refining my skills and pushing limits on the table, I developed a keen awareness of the psychological challenges that athletes face in the pursuit of excellence. This personal experience not only fuelled my desire to explore the psychology behind peak performance but also ignited a quest for knowledge and understanding. Driven by my insatiable curiosity, I embarked on an academic journey that seamlessly merged my athletic background with my passion for psychology. My undergraduate studies in psychology provided a strong foundation, which I augmented with a master's degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Brunel University, London and a Doctorate in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University. Throughout my academic pursuits, I have consistently demonstrated a penchant for delving deep into the intricacies of human behaviour and performance optimisation.

My former career as a table tennis athlete continues to be a valuable asset in my profession. I understand firsthand the mental hurdles that athletes encounter and am skilled at guiding them through challenges. My personal experiences lend me a level of credibility and relatability that resonates deeply with my clients.

In my spare time, I am an avid learner, constantly seeking out the latest research and developments in the field of sport psychology. My commitment to staying current ensures that I offer evidence-based interventions that are grounded in the latest scientific understanding.
