About
A contextual
approach to
performance.
I’m a HCPC registered Practitioner Psychologist, specialising in Sport & Exercise Psychology who has worked across a variety of different sports and organisations.
Having grown up in Greece, studied, trained and worked in Bulgaria and England, and worked within different sporting cultures, I take a contextual approach to performance — recognising that athletes don’t develop and perform in a vacuum.
Performance is acquired, not given. It emerges from repeated, context-specific efforts to excel, and over time, it drives sustainable development.
“Our work goes beyond generic psychological theories and strategies. Interventions are grounded in assessment, evidence, and the person’s environment — not one size fits all.”
Who I Work With
Athletes, coaches & organisations
Youth & Academy Athletes
Supporting developing athletes through the psychological demands of talent pathways.
Senior Performers
Sustaining and optimising performance at the highest competitive level.
Golfers
Addressing the unique mental demands of precision-based, individual performance.
Team Sport Athletes
Understanding interpersonal dynamics that shape collective performance.
Coaches & Staff
Consulting to create environments that support high performance.
Organisations
Developing cultures that sustain both wellbeing and performance.
Methodology
A practical, evidence-informed approach
As part of our case conceptualisation, we follow a structured but adaptive process.
Assess
Understand the human, environment, context, and demands.
Test
Psychological skills, behaviours, and performance pressures.
Tweak
Targeted interventions aligned with the athlete's environment.
Repeat
Review, adapt, and refine as performance evolves.
“This ensures support remains relevant, practical, and aligned with the realities of performance.”
How I Work
Support tailored to the athlete & environment
Depending on need, work may involve one or a combination of the following:
Individual 1:1 Consultation
One-to-one sessions shaped by the athlete's context. Sessions may take place in person or online.
This may include:
- Exploring performance challenges and goals
- Developing psychological skills relevant to training and competition
- Building strategies that can be applied immediately
