Sessions
Sessions
Booked one at a time. No packages and nothing to commit to in advance.
First session
Sixty minutes, mostly you talking, and me working out what is actually going on — which is often not what you booked about.
Ongoing sessions
The work. Fortnightly suits most people because the gap is where it actually happens — you need matches in between.
Coaches and referees
The same work, for the two groups nobody offers it to. Referees in particular are managing sustained public abuse as a normal condition of employment.
Team workshop
Half a day with a squad, and the only format where I am working for the club rather than for an individual — which changes what I can and cannot do, so it is said out loud at the start.
How it usually goes
There is no package and nothing to buy in advance. You book one session at a time and you can stop after any of them without a conversation about it.
Will my club find out?
Not from me. There is a whole page on this — what a club is told, what it is never told, and the three real limits — published so you can read it before you have to ask anybody about it.
Is this therapy?
It is performance psychology, delivered by a registered psychologist. The distinction matters mostly in one direction: if what you bring is better served by clinical treatment, I am qualified to notice and I will say so rather than working around it for six months.
How do I know you are actually registered?
My number is on this site and you can verify it with the register in about two minutes. Do that — with me and with anybody else selling you this. A great deal of it is sold by people with a weekend certificate, and nothing legally stops them.
What do I say when I book?
One line. It can be 'I do not really know'. You do not have to justify it, name it, or be certain it is serious enough.
How many sessions will it take?
Usually six to twelve, and you book them one at a time. If we reach twelve and nothing has moved, I will raise that with you rather than letting it run.
Can I do it online?
Yes, and most people do. It works as well as in person and it is easier to keep private, which for a lot of people is the deciding factor.
