Athletes & Parents

When something feels off.

When Talent Isn’t the Problem, But Something Still Feels Off

​You're committed.
You train hard.
You push through setbacks.

But lately, something feels off, like your body’s ready, but your mind won’t follow. Or maybe everything looks fine on the outside, but you’re tired, unmotivated, angry, or constantly anxious... and you can’t explain why.

 

If you’re an athlete, or the parent of one navigating high-performance pressure, past trauma, or unpredictable emotions, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. You just need support that understands the real demands of elite sport and how trauma, stress, and past experiences shape how you train, compete, and recover.

​​

What We Help With

Whether you're 13 or 23, we help athletes who are:

  • Struggling with sudden drop-offs in motivation or performance

  • Burning out from pressure and perfectionism

  • Hiding anxiety, fear, or stress from coaches or teammates

  • Dealing with trauma, family instability, or emotional shutdowns

  • Lashing out, shutting down, or mentally collapsing under pressure

  • Trying to come back after injury or transition (e.g. new school, carer, team)

 

And for parents
We support you in recognising what's really going on, so you're not left guessing or reacting without support.

 

​Why It Feels So Hard Sometimes

Athletes who’ve gone through trauma or stress often live in “survival mode.”
That means your nervous system is always scanning for threat, even in safe places like the gym, field, or home.

 

This is why:

  • You feel like you want to run or shut down during a game

  • You overthink one mistake for hours

  • You explode emotionally or completely go numb

  • You “know” what to do but can’t make your body do it in the moment

 

You don’t need to be fixed.
You need a system that works with your body, your mind, and your real story.

What We Offer for Athletes

We help you:

  • Understand your own nervous system & performance patterns

  • Build regulation skills (without boring lectures)

  • Create pre-game & post-game routines that calm your body and sharpen your mind

  • Learn how to speak up when something’s not right

  • Improve your relationships with coaches and carers

  • Train your brain to focus, recover, and compete—even when emotions run high

 

You’ll feel more in control. More stable. More you.

What We Offer for Parents

We help you:

  • Understand what's actually happening beneath the behaviour

  • Support your athlete without power struggles

  • Build trust, routine, and regulation at home

  • Respond to aggression, withdrawal, or anxiety with the right tools

  • Collaborate with coaches, schools, and clubs with confidence

  • Reduce overwhelm, emotional fatigue, and burnout

  • We don’t judge. We walk with you.

Real Results from Real Families

“She was ready to quit everything. We thought it was just teenage stuff. Turns out, she was in shutdown from years of trauma. The way they supported her, emotionally and practically brought her back. Not just to sport. To herself.”
