Sport Psychologist
In 2003, I started working as a sports psychologist and mental trainer in France, then returned to Belgium and developed my activities there and abroad.
I have worked for individual athletes and many structures such as clubs, federations and sports psychology services.
I work mainly in football, tennis and table tennis, but I have experience as a mental coach in more than 30 sports especially hockey, basketball and athletics, golf, motor sports, horse riding, etc..(more info about my professional experience here)
As a sports psychologist, I work with top athletes and provide them with various aids: mental preparation, coaching and psychological support. The psychological well-being of the athlete during his activity is the center of my work. It allows it to tend towards a state of optimal performance (“the flow”).
- I help players gain self-confidence, deal with stress and pressure, stay focused …
- I help teams perform and play positively collectively
- I work in clubs around psychological support projects and mental preparation of talents
- I make sure that they keep a balance between sport and other areas of life, such as private, school or professional life.
- I provide them with psychological support, a place where they can recharge their batteries in a very intense and sometimes complicated life to manage.
- I take care of the professional retraining of athletes
- I accompany athletes during the injury period to support them psychologically, to help them stay motivated and to prepare for their return, in particular with mental and motor imagery exercises aimed at maintaining technique.
