Psychological support for athletes

Even the best athletes may seek psychological support and today it is seen as part and parcel of competition and developing the right mental skills to help maintain or improve performance. Just as a formula 1 racing car has a whole team, the finely tuned athlete can benefit from a 1-2% improvement. Even if you are competing at an amateur level, sports psychology can help you achieve your full potential. It’s common knowledge that a large proportion of sport is mental, so why not enhance your minds capabilities.

Acceptance and commitment therapy

f you are experiencing anxiety, depression or other mental health and life challenges, counselling may be an option to help you work through your experience.

ACT is focused on helping you to live a rich, fulfilled and valued life while allowing difficult thoughts, feelings and sensations to be experienced. Sometimes, people may feel stuck, have emotional conflicts or lack direction.

ACT can help with feeling anxious or depressed, as well as other behavioural issues. Helping you to develop a flexible, growth mindset helps you to feel more fulfilled as a human being. ACT can also support you when accepting things that have happened in life and psychologically free you up to untangle you from difficult thoughts, feelings or sensations. For an initial phone chat please contact me today.

My Philosophy of practice stems from a humanistic approach, meaning I view clients with unconditional positive regard and try to help them reach their full potential in life and sport.

What People Say About Me

I tend to go on autopilot mode when i am by myself knowing full well it’s not healthy but it still happens and catches up with me during the day which delays my activities because i want to satisfy my thoughts in every situation.

Abdur Rahman Footballer

Stephen quickly and adeptly identifies simple measures for improvement in small easy steps which has helped already to improve my focus and enjoyment of playing sports including football and golf. I feel more positive about my ability following these sessions.

Peter Client

I’m a golfer that has struggled to chip for 8 years. I’ve spent hundreds of pounds on golf professionals who have correctly told me what I have been doing wrong, just not how to stop it. I have to admit that I was skeptical about my chances of fixing my issue with a sports psychologist but Steve helped me improve from the minute we spoke. After 2 sessions I was experiencing a 90% improvement.
Quite simply, I can’t recommend Steve enough.

David Golfer

Steve has been great and given really useful advice and understands things from the athletes view .

S.DewarRower

Very good, has helped me a lot and I recommend to others!

Harry SeddonFootballer

Steve Renwick has been working with my daughter, who is a high performance gymnast, currently training 25-28hrs a week. The Psychology sessions have been extremely beneficial to her and have helped her to be more positive and increased both her confidence and self belief. Steve uses various strategies to ensure that she gets the most out of each session and her confidence in her own ability and her ability to perform under pressure have improved significantly in just 3 to 4 sessions.

Sharon McCormackGymnast

Stephen helped me with my mental training for tennis and this really helped to keep me focused and relaxed while I was competing on the ATP tour. His knowledge of sports psychology and tennis is brilliant as he really understands what you go through as an athlete in high pressure situations.

Alex Bogdanovic(Former Davis Cup player)

After only two hours spent working with yourself, I can feel a change in my way of thinking as well as having an understanding about my way of thinking, can’t wait to find out what the future holds.
