Graham Tebbit

As an athlete or high achiever, you recognize that there is so much to do, but it never feels like there’s enough time. You see flashes of brilliance and skill, and you know that you can perform to your potential, but you can’t seem to translate your performance in practice to competition or exams. Maybe you get in your own way. When the moment comes, instead of performing like you know you can, you tense up, try to do too much, or become indecisive or overwhelmed by stress.

We all need a little support sometimes. Someone who can ask the right questions, highlight and build up your strengths, and collaborate with you to achieve stubborn goals that you’ve had for a long time. Most importantly, you want someone who gets it and you can trust. Someone who understands the rigours, challenges, and obstacles to becoming a top performer. I have been in your shoes. I have both struggled and experienced success in academic and athletic settings. Though our situations might differ, I know the ripple effect that a little support can have in your sports or academic career, and I’m here to help.

My experience as an elite-level athlete informs my work as a therapist. I provide individualized counselling and psychotherapy to athletes and students facing challenges relating to motivation, mood management, anxiety, ADHD, performance slumps, education and athletic transitions, time management, fear of injury/re-injury, and long-term/season-ending injuries.

I am here to understand what makes you great and leverage those abilities to achieve your goals and aspirations. Whether you are a top performer trying to get the 5% edge over other elite performers, someone with aspirations of becoming great (in their sport or academics), or getting back to where you need to be, my mission is to work with you to get you there.
