I embarked on an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology in my mid 40s, having worked in education teaching PE amongst other things, for over 25 years. I love sport and always have. I love swimming and compete regularly in Masters and Open Water events. I am excited to offer Sport Psychology services in Cambridge and East Anglia, as I truly believe it can make a big difference to performance.
