Frequently Asked Questions
-
As a mental performance professional, my primary role is to support athletes and performers along their sport journey. That may involve supporting clients through performance slumps and setbacks, or helping them build confidence and mental skills to reach the next level.

The graduate education and requirements for each profession are different; therefore, the type of support provided within the scope of practice is also different.

Mental performance services are not typically covered under standard psychology benefits plans. Depending on your provider, coverage might be allowed through a health spending account. It’s best to check with your insurance provider and benefits plan to be sure.

Mental Performance Trainer | MSc, BKin
My approach combines evidence-based strategies with compassionate, athlete-centred care. I believe athletes deserve support that helps them grow not only as athletes and performers, but as people.
Over the last eight years, much of my research and applied work has focused on self-compassion within sport and performance settings, helping athletes pursue both excellence and well-being.
