While individual psychology sessions allow for deep, personal work, there is immense power in learning mental skills alongside others. Whether you are a large riding club, a competitive squad, or simply a group of supportive friends, my workshops and groups are designed to give you a shared "mental toolkit"—a common language that helps you support yourselves, and each other.
Workshops for Clubs, Squads & Small Groups
Equestrian sport is unique; we compete individually, but we grow best as a community.
Three Ways to Connect
-
For Clubs & Squads Ideal for pony clubs, adult riding clubs, and competitive teams. These groups and workshops help to foster a culture of resilience and healthy competition. By normalizing the mental struggles riders face, we help dissolve the shame around "nerves" and build a stronger, more supportive club environment. Performance psychology for squads focuses on ability for a group of individuals to synchronise their efforts, support one another through the inevitable highs and lows of the sport, and maintain a high-performance culture that elevates everyone involved.
-
For Small Groups & Friends You don’t need a committee to book a session. Gather a small group of friends and take part in a Group Session designed specifically for your circle.
-
For Solo Riders Many riders feel they lack the social support of fellow riders, especially when struggling with confidence or performance plateaus. You don’t need an existing social circle or a club affiliation to benefit from group work. These sessions are designed to connect you with like-minded equestrians who share a similar discipline, goals, and experiences. Build a support system of peers who understand the specific highs and lows of horse ownership and competition in a professionally supported space where the focus is on growth, empathy, and collective problem-solving.

Benefits of Groups
Intimate & Supportive: These sessions create a safe, interactive environment where you can work together to strengthen confidence and manage performance anxiety.

Why Book a Group Session?
-
Cost-Effective: Group sessions provide high-level professional psychology support at an accessible price point for every rider.
-
Interactive & Practical: These aren't dry lectures. I use interactive exercises, worksheets, and real-world scenarios to ensure everyone leaves with strategies they can use the very next time they ride.
-
Normalise the Struggle: When riders realize they aren't the only ones battling "show nerves" or "imposter syndrome," confidence grows.
