First, what has your injury team said?
If you still have pain, a new symptom or limited movement, go back to the clinician or rehab professional managing your recovery. A coaching conversation can't confirm that a movement or contact is safe.

Anxiety recovery coaching after a sports injury.
We offer TRT stress and anxiety recovery coaching for people struggling with fear after injury. The work is with the anxiety—not physical rehabilitation or return-to-play clearance. Your coach guides you through the TRT framework and practical steps. If your anxiety is unrelated to the injury or to sport, you can still enquire.
The service
What TRT coaching involves
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
Start with your anxiety
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
Learn the framework with your coach
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
Use the guided steps in everyday life
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.

When you get in touch
What to tell us.
Tell us the sport, what situations you are avoiding and whether your injury team has cleared you to return. You don't need to send detailed medical records through the form.
We'll discuss whether coaching is suitable, how we might meet and the cost before anything is agreed. We don't provide medical or psychological treatment.
What feels difficult now?
Perhaps you avoid a tackle you were cleared to make, replay the injury before practice or worry about letting the team down. Tell us which moments are hard; we can discuss the fear without setting a deadline for your return.
Who needs to know?
You can enquire yourself rather than through a coach. If your club is involved, we'd discuss with you what may be shared and explain any safety exceptions. A selection date doesn't decide your care.
