SPORTS PEOPLE & ENTERTAINERS PERFORM BEST WITH NLP & HYPNOTHERAPY TRAINING

WE ARE ONLY EVER ONE THOUGHT AWAY FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE & WE ARE ONLY ONE THOUGHT AWAY FROM AS ‘GOOD AS NEW’

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) offers a range of coaching tools and techniques that can be effective in addressing the psychological issues faced by sportspeople including: Fear of Failure (missing the putt, missing the penalty); Performance Anxiety; Imposter Syndrome; Burnout; Depression; Eating & Drinking Disorders; Substance Abuse; Retirement Anxiety etc.

Through NLP and hypnotherapy, I can help you reset in an instant. If you suffer from anxiety or fear about your sport performance please get in touch.

Over the past 30 years I have worked with some of the world’s most famous brands, sports bodies, athletes and stars including: adidas; BT; Kellogg’s; PepsiCo; Mars; Ellen MacArthur; Marat Safin; Prince Naseem; Gary Lineker; Susie Wolff; Jona Lomu; the FA; FIFA; and the IOC,  – advising on marketing, image management and commercial partnerships.

Now as a registered Life Coach, NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist I offer practical techniques for addressing the diverse psychological challenges athletes, teams and entertainers face, contributing to their overall well-being and performance…

1. Performance Anxiety – Anchoring involves creating a specific trigger (such as a word or gesture) that evokes a desired emotional state (e.g., confidence, calmness). Athletes can use this technique to manage anxiety and enhance performance under pressure.

2. Imposter Syndrome – Reframing helps athletes change their perception of their achievements and abilities, shifting from self-doubt to recognising their true competence and value.

3. Burnout – Timeline Therapy assists athletes in re-evaluating their past experiences and setting future goals, helping them regain motivation and a sense of purpose.

4. Depression – Control Rooms, Theatre Screens and Swish Pattern work can be used to replace negative mental images with positive ones. This can help athletes shift their focus from depressive thoughts to more empowering and uplifting perspectives.

5. Eating & Drinking Disorders –  The NLP Meta Model as well as NLP Sub Modality work helps uncover and challenge limiting beliefs and distorted thinking patterns related to body image and eating habits, promoting healthier attitudes and behaviors.

6.  Substance Abuse – Parts Integration addresses internal conflicts and harmonises different parts of the individual’s psyche, aiding in resolving the root causes of substance dependency.

7. Fear of Failure – Visual/Kinaesthetic Dissociation (VKD) helps athletes detach from negative emotions associated with failure by visualising and re-experiencing the event in a dissociated state, reducing its emotional impact.

8. Social Anxiety – Circle of Excellence creates a mental space where athletes can access their most resourceful states (e.g., confidence, relaxation) when facing socially stressful situations.

9. Injury-Related Stress – Future Pacing involves visualising successful outcomes and a positive recovery process, helping athletes build a more optimistic outlook on their rehabilitation journey.

10. Retirement Anxiety – The New Behavior Generator helps athletes envision and mentally rehearse new roles and activities post-retirement, making the transition smoother and less anxiety-inducing.
