Elite sport / TRT Therapy
TRT coaching is for athletes seeking help with fear, stress and anxiety, on or off the field. Competition nerves, fear of failure, panic, OCD-related concerns and persistent worry can be discussed, including anxiety unrelated to sport. Your coach guides you through the TRT framework and practical recovery steps—not sports technique or a promise of better results.
For individual athletes, clubs and governing bodies · Online enquiries welcome
Compare sports psychology and TRT coaching
Sports psychology, mental-performance coaching and anxiety-recovery coaching are not interchangeable services. If fear, anxiety or stress is why you are searching, explore the TRT coaching approach and how it differs. Suitability is considered individually; it is not a universal replacement for psychological or medical care.

01 / The experience
You can be an athlete and struggle with anxiety that began long before a match—or has nothing to do with sport at all.
Panic attacks, phobias, OCD, health anxiety and persistent worry don't become “sport anxiety” just because you train or compete. Tell us what's happening in your life. If the yips or competition pressure are part of the picture, we can talk about those as well.
How TRT Therapy works01 / ANXIETY & WELLBEING
You may play sport and also live with panic, OCD, phobias or persistent worry that has nothing to do with training or competition. Tell us about the anxiety itself; we won't assume it's a performance problem.
02 / ANXIETY & WELLBEING
If selection, public scrutiny or a big event is affecting you, you can talk about that too. We'll start with your experience, not a standard performance script.
03 / ANXIETY & WELLBEING
A familiar movement can suddenly feel uncertain. We can discuss the stress around it, but new or persistent movement changes should also be checked by a qualified health professional.
Across disciplines
Athletes across disciplines can ask about anxiety in everyday life, whether it's linked to sport or not. The Institute traces its anxiety recovery work back to 1996; we'll talk about whether coaching is right for your situation.

The service
TRT is structured coaching for stress and anxiety recovery. The aim is greater stability and wellbeing in everyday life—not better scores, selection or sporting technique. The work uses the Human Stability Framework.
01
Your coach begins with what you are experiencing, what you want to work on and any support you already have. This helps establish whether TRT coaching and the proposed format are suitable for you.
02
Your coach explains the biological threat response and how attention, interpretation and behaviour can keep it active. They introduce the TRT framework and agree practical areas to work on with you.
03
The coaching supports your use of structured materials or exercises, with questions and adjustments as part of the work. Sport may be part of your life, but your anxiety need not be caused by it.
One-to-one sessions can be arranged via Zoom, FaceTime, or in person at Oliva Nova or nearby.
