Performance Psychology
Performance psychology assists people to develop the mental skills required to manage high-intensity situations and enhance their functioning in demanding environments. It is especially helpful for people who face workplace and academic pressures, and for those working in competitive environments such as sport, performing arts and the military.
At its core, performance psychology explores the factors that impact one's ability to excel - motivation, stress management, goal setting, concentration and mental resilience.
Our Clinical Psychologists work with performance across many parts of life, from the workplace and the classroom through to the stage and the sporting field. Sessions focus on improving self-awareness in ways that boost motivation and increase confidence - learning from setbacks, recognising personal strengths and clarifying goals - while mastering practical techniques for staying cool under pressure.
How our Clinical Psychologists support performance
Workplace and executive performance
Support for leaders, business owners and professionals in demanding roles. We work on decision making under pressure, focus and productivity, communication and assertiveness, and sustaining performance through periods of change or heavy workload.
Academic and exam performance
Practical strategies for students and postgraduate candidates, including study habits, time management, concentration, motivation and coping with the pressure of exams, placements and assessment deadlines.
Creative and performing arts
Assistance for musicians, actors, dancers and other performers to manage stage nerves, prepare for auditions and performances, build a stable sense of self-belief, and recover well after a difficult performance or setback.
Performance anxiety and burnout
Evidence-based treatment for performance anxiety, perfectionism and fear of failure, along with support for people experiencing exhaustion or burnout who want to rebuild energy, balance and a sustainable relationship with their work.
