About Me

My name is Jonathan and I am a Trainee Sport and Exercise Psychologist with the British Psychological Society. What this means is that I am training to become a HCPC registered sport and exercise psychologist and receiving expert supervision along the way.

​

My background in sport started from a young age where I would regularly compete in football, tennis and cricket but most recently I race in cycling and triathlon. My experience of competing and often handling the pressure enthused the desire to understand how psychology can benefit sport performance. I have studied sport and exercise psychology degrees at Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Manchester where my research interests focuses on how social identity leadership figures impact and influence relationships in team environments. 

​

I have worked with a variety of clients including elite women's football, British triathletes, amateur rugby players, tennis players and Hyrox Pro athletes. I also have experience of delivering academic lectures with university students and working within a community pain service and understanding the psychological demands of persistent pain with the NHS. My area of work is not exclusive to sport as I understand the benefits of applying sport psychology to other performance domains.
