Hypnotherapy for sports performance

If you play sports, you know that peak performance depends on body and mind. Mental focus, confidence, and managing pressure, play a huge role in achieving your best. Sports Hypnotherapy can help individuals at all levels improve focus, confidence, and consistency.

This approach is particularly helpful if you want to perform under pressure, improve concentration, or overcome mental blocks.

How sports Hypnosis works

Sports hypnosis can help with concentration, reaction times, and maintaining consistency during training or competition. It is particularly effective for visualisation, mental rehearsal, and managing pre-performance anxiety. By practising these techniques in a relaxed, focused state, you can improve your mental approach and boost performance. 


Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for sports

Sports hypnotherapy combines talking therapy with hypnosis. The focus is on your strengths, resources, and the improvements you want to achieve, rather than analysing past performance. During sessions, we explore how your mind responds under pressure and identify strategies to enhance focus, calm nerves, and improve confidence.

Hypnosis helps by calming the nervous system, reframing your ideal performance, and allowing the mind to absorb positive suggestions to develop new mental patterns.


Who is sports Hypnosis for?

This approach can benefit people across all sports, from team sports like football, rugby, or netball, to individual sports like golf, cycling, or tennis. As well as anyone looking to improve under pressure.

Everyone’s experience is unique. Sessions are tailored to what is most useful for you and your sport.
