Stephen Eccles

Working at the intersection of performance, wellbeing and identity, Stephen draws on experience across elite sport, higher education and leadership development. His work has supported athletes and teams within national governing bodies and professional academies, including GB Women’s Ice Hockey, GB Disability Tennis, Sheffield Wednesday Academy, Swim England, Leicester Riders Basketball Academy and Leicestershire & Rutland Golf.

Grounded in performance psychology, social identity research and cognitive-behavioural approaches, he works with both mindset and behaviour — helping individuals develop clarity under pressure, emotional regulation and confidence.

He is also a certified Spotlight Practitioner, using the Spotlight Profile to provide insight into individual motivation, behavioural tendencies and energy use. This allows clients to develop greater self-awareness and align their strengths with high-pressure demands.
