Sports & Performance

In the world of performance, the psychology behind success is multifaceted, encompassing factors that can lead you towards or away from success. At the heart of performance counselling is the identification of the barriers you experience and skill development that will help you overcome those challenges. From enhancing concentration, visualization, and goal-setting to addressing the impacts of injuries, stressors, unexpected life events, and competition outcomes, we embark on a journey to understand and reach your performance goals. Whether you're an athlete striving for excellence, navigating the creative arts, or seeking to excel in the fast-paced corporate world, we’re here to guide you towards your performance goals. Let's explore the outcomes you desire and work together to elevate your performance to new heights.

Having worked with individuals in fast paced and demanding careers, and athletes ranging from youth to national levels across various sports, including soccer, hockey, rugby, golf, and many more, we comprehend the unique demands and commitments of elite competition. Drawing from experience working with national level athletes, individuals in the performing arts, those with high energy careers such as law, medicine, engineering, academia, as well as students, we understand how these environments influence performance, and how to navigate optimal performance in these contexts.

Beyond the physical aspects, we understand the mental and emotional complexities involved in navigating competitive environments. Acknowledging that unexpected events can impact performance, we meet you where you are and offer comprehensive support to get you back on track. Whether it's injury recovery, return-to-play strategies, confidence-building, coping with anxiety, or managing transitions out of competitive sport, we specialize in a range of performance-related areas. At In Your Element, you will be supported in the development of skills that support your growth goals, whether they lean towards achieving peak performance, or deepening your relationship with yourself as you shift out of competitive performance environments.
