Amy specializes in sports psychology, more specifically sports and athletic performance enhancement. Being a competitive athlete and coach herself in the past combined with her years of psychotherapy experience, Amy is intensely aware of the impact mental health can have on the outcome of practices and performances. Sports performance enhancement counselling works to identify and address athletes concerns affecting their skills such as stress management, fears, lack of motivation, confidence, mindset, and mental toughness just to name a few. It can offer a tool set for increased success and enjoyment in the sport for optimal performance.
