If you’re looking to unlock your peak level of performance, a 1:1 sport hypnotherapy session could be the solution you are seeking.

I offer 1:1 hypnotherapy sessions online throughout the UK, and also offer face to face sessions at my base in Buxton.

Pressure is experienced by the brain in 2 ways: threat stress or challenge stress. Threat stress leads to anxiety, doubt, fear, and the desire to avoid or run away. These are often called ‘Flight or Freeze’ states. Challenge stress leads to excitement, focus and increased motivation – often called the ‘Fight’ states – the fire in your belly! 

Peak performance is also enhanced by flow states – when you enter states of deep relaxation and focus. These magical states arise when your mind is calm and quiet, and you act fluidly, positively and skilfully moment by moment, with trust and confidence, fully absorbed and aware.

It is also important for people to know how to maximise their training to achieve the most progress. Mindset for learning is extremely important.

Hypnotherapy and hypnosis are highly effective at rapidly transforming threat stress into challenge stress, and at cultivating the states of mind that lead to flow states. Turning nerves into excited anticipation, and doubt into positive, determined, focused riding. Decluttering the mind so you can trust your skills and ride on instinct, with total clarity and confidence.
