About Julie

My background

I loved sport growing up and played tennis competitively from a young age. Sport was therefore a big part of my decision to go to Loughborough University, where I continued to play and compete during my student years. Studying sport psychology, I was able to relate what I was learning to my playing experiences. Yet sport psychology hadn’t been an integral part of my development as a junior tennis player, nor featured greatly on the coaching qualifications I went on to undertake. 

My mission

Through my studies, I came to appreciate that a better understanding of myself, the psychological demands of the game and how to cope with these demands would have had a big impact on how I interpreted different situations that arose in matches. My experiences ignited my passion to make sport psychology a more integrated part of athlete development, to enable individuals to achieve their potential in sport and life. I now work with a range of performers in private practice alongside contracted work.

My approach

Depending on an individual's needs and the goals of the consultancy, I help clients to better understand the mental demands of their sport and how they can get the best out of themselves and others through:

  • Providing a safe, supportive but challenging space to reflect on and make sense of experiences
  • Developing effective strategies that enable them to thrive
  • Involving stakeholders to support the creation of environments that promote productive thoughts, feelings and behaviours
