Where Duty of Care Meets Performance Integrity

You’re doing the clinical work.
The trauma processing. The diagnostic formulations. The safety planning.

But once the athlete leaves your office and walks back into the locker room, gym, or home environment, everything unravels again.

This isn’t about therapeutic failure.
It’s about environmental misalignment.

We specialise in applied trauma systems for elite athletes, especially those shaped by complex trauma, ACEs, or justice involvement. Our role isn’t therapeutic duplication. It’s nervous system reinforcement in performance spaces, so the work you’re doing doesn’t get erased by unmanaged chaos.

​​

What We Do Strengthens What You Do

We support clients by embedding:

• Regulation frameworks in their sport environment

• Behavioural support tools in real-time contexts (games, travel, weight cuts, crisis moments)

• Trauma-informed routines into homes, clubs, and school systems

• Athlete reflection & accountability tools based on what they’re already processing in therapy

• Emotional scaffolding between sessions—especially for those living in care or instability

 

We turn psychological insight into functional performance patterns in places where therapy isn’t always accessible or welcome.

​

What We Don’t Do

• Diagnose

• Prescribe

• Pathologise

• Undermine therapeutic relationships. We believe in one master. You!

We collaborate. We consult. We co-regulate environments. Always within scope. Always with clarity.

​

How We Integrate With Clinical Work

Athlete Behaviour & Regulation Mapping
Create a shared plan with you to help athletes manage emotions linked to sport-specific triggers. This includes stress response scripts, strategies to calm escalations, and daily routines that support emotional regulation.

Multi-Agency Case Collaboration
We work with clinicians, caseworkers, carers, and clubs to provide seamless athlete care You set the therapeutic direction, we ensure the system around them reinforces it

Nervous System-Based Performance Coaching
Trauma-informed, polyvagal-aware support that aligns with existing care plans
Example: translating “self-regulation” into pre-match breathing scripts or post-error rituals

Coaching Staff Translation
We help coaches understand behaviour without overstepping into diagnostic territory
We decode trauma responses in plain language that builds trust with you and the athlete

High-Risk Transition Support
Athlete is changing schools, moving homes, entering high-pressure competition?
We walk alongside them to stabilise routine, relationships, and somatic safety

​

Our Foundations

• Polyvagal Theory (Porges)

• Developmental Trauma (van der Kolk, Perry)

• PETTLEP & applied sport psych frameworks

• Reflective Practice & Supervision (Hawkins & Shohet)

• Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (Cornell University)

Everything is evidence-aligned, but translated for the real world, where trauma often emerges without a label and performance doesn’t pause for dysregulation.

​

You Might Refer To Us When…

• Therapy alone isn’t transferring into lived routines

• The athlete is masking in sessions but breaking down in performance

• Coaches are mishandling trauma triggers

• There’s no regulation plan for sport, school, or care environments

• You’re burnt out trying to explain trauma behaviour to non-clinical teams

​

​Our Core Belief

“When care and performance are aligned, behaviour becomes manageable and potential becomes visible.”

You don’t have to hold this alone.

We specialise in systems that support the supporters.​
