Mental Wellbeing Team

At MOVE we specialise in understanding the intricate mental dynamics of athletes. Our core focus is on enhancing performance, nurturing skill development, and guiding athletes through the pressures of intense competition. Our commitment is resolute: to empower athletes to strike a delicate balance between their demanding training schedules and life's responsibilities, all while fostering a profound passion for their sport.

In the realm of Sports Psychiatry, our professionals equip athletes with a carefully curated toolkit of techniques. From visualisation and concentration to motivation, these tools play a pivotal role in overcoming mental hurdles like choking, ultimately unlocking an athlete's full potential. Our devoted Sports Psychiatrists collaborate harmoniously with athletes, finely honing their focus during crucial events to ensure the smooth flow of automatic bodily functions. By proactively addressing performance anxiety, we circumvent the potential drawbacks of excessive self-evaluation and negative self-talk that could otherwise hinder peak performance.

Our Mental Wellbeing Team is a multidisciplinary team offering also tailored sports psychology sessions, guided by our Clinical Psychologist, Health Psychologist, and Counselling Psychologist, to help both professional and amateur athletes overcome performance anxiety, refine mental skills, and support recovery after injuries. These sessions are designed to enhance overall mental well-being, enabling athletes to perform at their best both on and off the field. MOVE also provides personalized nutrition services, led by a Registered Nutritionist. Our services include weight management, specialized diets, sports nutrition, child nutrition, and support for disordered eating. Each consultation includes a thorough assessment and individualized meal plan tailored to meet specific nutritional needs and preferences, based on the latest scientific research.

At the heart of our philosophy lies the art of harmonising a healthy mind and body within the context of sports. This synchrony extends well beyond the sports arena, permeating every facet of life. Our foremost role is to light the way for athletes, guiding them toward a comprehensive equilibrium where passion, mental well-being, and performance converge seamlessly.
