introduction
Elliot Smith Sport Psychology
I have a passion for supporting people to engage and thrive in sports and exercise, whether that be in elite-level competition or at the local gym. I believe a suitable balance between physical and psychological training help you achieve success. The services I provide can be beneficial for any athlete, sports coach, or organisation that strives to improve. These services can be tailored specifically for your own needs and desires, representing a unique and specialised kind of support.
I have experience working in a variety of different settings. For example, football, golf, tennis, trampolining, athletics, mixed martial arts, rugby, table tennis, gymnastics, skiing and CrossFit. I have been able to support individuals ranging from 10 years old (minimum) to 60+ years old. Whether you have aspirations of a professional career in sport, or there's an upcoming competition that you are passionate about, or you simply play sport because it's something you enjoy and it's good for your health. I can cater for all types of needs.

Based in Bedfordshire, I am currently completing my final stages of training in becoming a Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist, via the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES). I am prepared to work face-to-face, and via online resources such as Skype, Microsoft Teams, and other apps such as FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Facebook.
It takes bravery and courage to ask for support, these may be your first steps in understanding how you can enhance and improve your performance and personal qualities.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or thoughts.
I look forward to working with you.
