I am a London based Sport Psychologist that also works in Sussex, Essex and Kent.  I am a BPS Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist and a BASES accredited sport and exercise scientist (psychology - scientific support).  I work as an applied consultant and run a company called Total Performance Consulting.  At Total Performance Consulting I work in the applied field with elite athletes and sports people as well as training other sport psychologists and taking potential sport psychologists through the BASES supervised experience process.

I am also a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at the University of East London (UEL).  I have been at UEL since 2002 and am proud to be involved with a modern University that takes sport science and sport psychology very seriously.  For information about UEL sport science courses please visit http://www.uel.ac.uk/hab/sports/index.htm

At Total Performance Consulting we have a policy not to use testimonials. Since 2006 we have worked with and alongside Olympic gold medalists, Premier League Football Clubs, ATP tennis events, First Class County Cricket Clubs, International Athletes, International Teams and the emergency services to name but a few. We have always been effective and had excellent feedback. It would be very easy for us to gain testimonials from high profile sports people. However, we have decided not to use a testimonial from any of them. 

Should you choose to use Total Performance Consulting we will not ask you to write something nice about us, we will honor our ethical code through BASES and the BPS and the confidentially issue within. At no point will any pressure be placed on you to provide us with a testimonial. 


A number of sport psychology consultants use testimonials and we are not judging them. However our policy is not to place any of our clients in a position that goes outside of the original agreement no matter how willing they may be to go along with this and provide us with a testimonial.

Please see the C.V section where I have listed some of my qualifications in more detail:

However a brief summary of some of the more important qualifications are below:

I am a chartered psychologist under the British Psychological Society (BPS), an accredited sport & exercise psychologist under the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (BASES) and I have a masters degree in sport psychology.

I live in St Leonards On-Sea which is just outside of Hastings in East Sussex on the South East Coast.  I enjoy staying fit and playing for a local football team on a Saturday whenever possible (i.e. when they are short!).  I work in London and believe that I have the best of both worlds, the hustle and bustle of London during the working week and the natural beauty of coast in my spare time.  Add to this I get to see lots of my family, which is very important to me.  I must admit that the daily commute can be a real pain! However it works for me at the moment.

I am passionate about sport and sport psychology and follow the sports news obsessively.  I love to follow the fortunes of the teams that I am involved with or have been involved with in the past.  I have a general over enthusiasm for sport.
