About the Speakers:
My background includes working with national teams, professional academies, and university programmes to help individuals and organisations perform at their best.
In sport, I’ve been part of multiple championship-winning environments. As Lead Psychologist for the U18s GB Women’s Ice Hockey team, I supported the squad that went on to win the European Four Nations Tournament. I’ve also provided psychological support to the Leicester Riders Academy, contributing to both the Women’s and Men’s teams winning their respective Elite Academy Basketball Leagues.
My dedication to developing others has been recognised at university level, with nominations for the Vice-Chancellor’s Teaching Excellence Award and the NTSU Outstanding Teaching Award. As Coach Development Lead for Nottingham Trent University’s SHIELD programme, I also designed and delivered the coach-training curriculum – integrating reflective practice, psychological safety, and strengths-based approaches to help student coaches develop confidence and impact.
Overall, my work bridges elite performance psychology and wellbeing, guiding individuals to cultivate confidence, clarity, and resilience in high-pressure environments.
