What is a Practitioner Psychologist?

A psychologist helps people to better understand their self, their way of thinking and their behaviour and then how this impacts upon their everyday life and wellbeing. We believe a good psychologist should listen and try to understand your experience while recognising you are the expert in helping yourself. They should never try to control and dictate, but guide and support you through the work together. Psychological support is inclusive and collaborative that should have the client at the centre, using theory and research to inform and advise their practice

Why work with a Health or Sport Psychologist?

Anyone who aims to better their physical or mental health or cope with health conditions will benefit from working with a health psychologist. Health psychologists can support a range of different health conditions, chronic illnesses and health-based lifestyle struggles such as weight, pain, sleep, activity and much more.

Sport psychologists can help athletes, teams and coaches to develop their psychological skills to aid their performance development. We help to identify key psychological strengths they possess and identify new skills that will enhance performance. Often athletes, teams or coaches become ‘stuck’ in their progress and can experience negative emotions that impact upon their performance in training or competitions. During these periods a sport psychologist can support the individual to overcome this.

In sport, it is not uncommon for athletes to have period of injury where training and competitions are impacted. Sport psychologists are able to support athletes through their rehabilitation programme helping them to process their injury and continue to develop their athletic ability while unable to train. Sport psychologists can also help athletes return to training programmes and reduce ‘mental blocks’ that often occur after serious injuries.

What does a good psychologist look like?

A reputable psychologist holds registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and is chartered by the British Psychology Society (BPS). These designations ensure adherence to rigorous standards of training, practice, and ethical conduct. By choosing an HCPC-registered and BPS-chartered psychologist, you gain assurance of their expertise, accountability, and commitment to professional excellence.
