About

I studied psychology at the University of London (Royal Holloway College) before completing a Masters in sport and exercise psychology at Loughborough University and where, subsequently I was awarded a doctorate, under the supervision of Professor David Lavallee. Following a period working for the trainer of Great Britain's junior and young rider eventing teams, I focused my doctoral research upon the transition junior athletes undertake to senior level, and how this can be best supported. I am a British Psychological Society chartered sport psychologist, and HCPC registered practitioner psychologist. I very much enjoy putting research into practice and have worked with athletes from a number of sports, but specialise in work with equestrians and tennis players, helping them make the transition to higher level performance. Before joining Kingston University, I was Head of Sport Psychology for the elite training programme at one of a small number of international high performance tennis centres in the UK. I am still active within tennis, having worked closely with the International Tennis Federation leading a review of the structure and function of the junior and professional circuits, and for whom my work has led to broad changes in the international tennis circuit, with the aim to facilitate the transition from junior to senior tennis.
