I reached out to Rebecca to help my son with academy football and it's demands, Rebecca came up with several different ways to help my son understand the importance of growth mindset in fun way that my son understands, and above all to keep enjoying the experience no matter how difficult the challenges can become. This is reflected in the way my son approaches each training session and game day. Thank you Rebecca

Marcus come in to speak to my year 1 Sport Studies degree students, who are studying a Psychology of Sports Performance module. Having spoken to Marcus in advance he was able to put together a presentation that providing some context as to where he is on his journey as a Certified Sport Psychologist and also on some examples of the type of work he is involved in as part of that role. He made the session engaging and interesting for the students and they responded with positive feedback on the session and we will definitively engage with Marcus in the future.

Marcus has been a key part of my sporting and competing career inside of my experience with sport. First of all by allowing me to access greater levels of detail to refining performance. His knowledge, understanding and interpretation of sports psychology to manage and include in training and competing has astronomically accelerated improvement with in my sport as well as confidence surrounding the approach to games.

I had the pleasure of attending an evening of inspirational talks at which Marcus spoke. He talked about the Psychology of adventure, looking at why we as humans want to test ourselves and why we find intrigue in endurance activities. He provided lots of food for thought and some great tips for beginners on how to get mentally prepared for training and eventually competing or taking on a big challenge. His personal way of making challenges seem accessible and attainable are a real strength and i urge anyone looking to start a new project to involve him from the very beginning.

I don’t have a involvement in sports as such but I came to Marcus in a really low point in my life, I felt like I was all alone in a rough sea. Seeking out his help helped me to find calm in myself with techniques he taught it has really helped me keep the waves of life still and an enjoyable experience. Full rate Marcus he’s a great therapist and very warming and welcoming!

Thanks, Alessandro for your help, I feel much more confident and I am not afraid anymore of others' judgment. For all my life since I was a child I had to do everything trying to satisfy the others, without really enjoying anything. Now not only I understood why I was not performing well but also after our practices in front of the mirror, I feel much more myself. I recognize myself and enjoy what I like without thinking that I have to please others.

I had the opportunity to meet Alessandro at a time when my 13 years old son was struggling with his confidence and experiencing episodes of performance anxiety in key occasions. Thanks to Alessandro and his new and innovative method with just few sessions, my son was able to overcome his fears and totally shifting his mentality. Now he is back to his form, confidence and passion for the game.

Struggling with an Eating Disorder

Overall Rating
I was considered one of the best-talented athletes in my country since I was very young. At the age of 14, I was training so hard and I started to lose weight. I was eating 1000 calories, training three hours a day. I suddenly had a collapse and the doctor said I was underweight. I thought he was crazy. I was keeping doing my training but starting to have serious problems. My coach told me I had to stop to train until I was not feeling better. I was so angry with him. Nobody was really understanding me. I had to continue. My parents wanted me to see a psychologist and he told me I was anorexic. I have been treated for one year at a clinic. After that I relapsed and after 8 years I found Alessandro Carmelita. I am starting to understand my real problems, I am changing my obsession for weight and calories and enjoying my competitions and training much more. The mirror was a real problem at the beginning but now is a good friend. I have hope for the future now. Thanks
