My Approach to Sports Psychology
With my background in psychology and my training in sports psychology, I combine scientifically sound methods with practical coaching techniques. My aim is to strengthen both athletes and artists mentally and optimise their performance. I support individuals and teams in improving their mental strength, resilience and performance confidence in a targeted manner - whether on the pitch, on stage or in front of the camera. Through individual coaching and workshops, I support my clients in the following areas:
✅ Mental strength & resilience:
Dealing with stress, self-doubt and pressure
✅ Motivation & goal setting:
Long-term motivation in training, rehearsals or projects
✅ Competition & performance preparation:
Focus and visualisation techniques for optimum performance
✅ Dealing with nervousness & stage fright:
Breathing techniques, relaxation & self-talk
✅ Team dynamics & communication:
Collaboration in an ensemble, orchestra or team
✅ Injury management & mental health:
Psychological support in the event of setbacks
Whether in high-performance sport or in the performing arts - mental strength is the key to a successful and fulfilling career.
I help my clients to realise their full potential and perform with joy and self-confidence.
