My passion is helping individuals realise what mental resources they possess and how to use these resources to fulfil their potentials. Whether working with homeless youths with St Basils or athletes at the University of Birmingham, I lead a team that has developed and put into practice an evidence-based Mental Skills Training (MST) programme that has transformed lives, using a positive psychology approach to focus on solutions to problems rather than the problems themselves. Specialties: Imagery use in sport, exercise, and dance Other psychological skills (goal setting, self talk, observational learning) Sport performance issues (competitive anxiety, motivation, deliberate practice) Perfectionism, motivation, and psychological well-being in dancers
