Sport Psychology Sessions for Equestrian Athletes

Equestrian athletes juggle complex physical skills, emotional regulation, and a deep connection with their horses. Performance anxiety, fear of failure, loss of confidence, and mental blocks can all interfere with your ability to ride at your best. Sport psychology helps you develop the mental tools to overcome these challenges and unlock your full potential. I offer individual sessions and group Sport Psychology sessions via telehealth.  I also offer Workshops and Clinics specifically designed for for groups and clubs.

 As a registered psychologist in Australia, I am required to adhere to strict legal and ethical advertising guidelines, which specifically prohibit the use of client testimonials.

This policy is governed by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the National Law.

The reason for this is to to uphold the integrity of the profession and protect the public, for example, to protect client confidentiality -  even a seemingly anonymous testimonial could risk unintentionally confirming a therapeutic relationship, which is a breach of client confidentiality.

My  commitment to meeting these legal and ethical standards means I do not feature testimonials on this website.  However, I welcome all feedback from all my clients at any time.
