What is it?
Target Psychology provides psychology support and advice. As a Sport and Exercise Psychologist, Amy offers a wide range of support to athletes, coaches and organisations, with areas such as general well-being and lifestyle support, performance management, motivational issues, overcoming stressors, coping under pressure, and maintaining focus during training and competition.
Amy’s approach puts the client at the centre of the work, and the sessions allow space for individuals to make sense of their situations. Life, sport and training are not independent from one another, and Amy recognises that an improved well-being is important for improved performance – whether that is trying to run your first 10k or preparing for a world championship race.

‘…Through a series of sessions with Amy , she was able to explain why I was having these bouts of negative thoughts and how to deal with them. I am now able to recognise them for what they are and effectively dismiss them before they ruin my race. I also approach my races with a completely different mindset, no longer worried that my brain is going to bring on self-destruction'.’
