Bens Approach

My approach is mainly based on cognitive-behavioural and positive psychology principles. More specifically, my approach towards sport psychology support is directed toward building quality relationships, enhancing self-awareness and self-knowledge, and educating clients about psychological strategies/skills/attributes that can facilitate their performance and well-being. My practice is guided by several core professional values including respect, commitment, collaboration, strengths identification, reflection on successes, self-knowledge development, loyalty and gratitude.
