1 to 1 sessions are a fantastic way to engage with mindset toolkits that are entirely tailored to you. 

Typically, your first session will last up to 60 minutes.  It will entail a thorough discussion about your current situation, your goals and aspirations. We’ll discuss what you want to gain from sessions, and then work together to create a tailored (but adaptable) plan. 

Subsequent sessions will start with a check in, session goal setting, before application of tools, leaving space for feedback, discussion and action at the end. These tend to last between 30-45 minutes. 

That might mean personalised Rapid Tapping®, visualisations, mindfulness meditation and self compassion guidance.

The tools I use in my coaching can support your running in many ways, including:

• Better focus: Stay present during long runs, tough intervals, or race day.

• Improved pacing: Tune into your body instead of your watch to perform your best.

• Calm nerves: Manage pre-race anxiety with grounding techniques.

• Greater resilience: To stay motivated when things get tough.

• Build a more positive mindset: manage negative self talk, self doubt or impostor syndrome.

• Reduce overwhelm: lower stress, regulate emotions, stay goal focussed and reduce burnout risk.

• Create self belief and trust: put yourself in the energy and frequency of having achieved your goals, or have faced challenges or shifted course successfully

• More joy: Running becomes less about pressure and more about enjoyment

Absolutely. If you run, you're a runner. Whether you’re training for an ultra, a marathon or just trying to get out the door a few times a week, these sessions are designed to support your mental game — wherever you are on your journey. Rapid Tapping can help you step into your runner identity and help you feel more worthy of calling yourself a runner. The running community is very friendly, but I know it can feel hard to trust we belong at times and I hope I can help you find that sense of belonging in the community.

Mindfulness Meditation and the energy psychology tool of tapping has been shown to lower cortisol, interrupt stress responses, and create new neural associations. Rapid Tapping® builds on this by integrating the latest in neuroplasticity, NLP, and energetic principles to help people shift states, beliefs, and even behaviour faster than traditional models. Basically - we are working with both the brain state and the body state at the same time for both healing and better performance in life day to day. There is also research to show that mental imagery and positive self talk (both of which Rapid Tapping® incorporates) can boost sports performance.

I am a certified Rapid Tapping® Pro Practitioner and I use the method on licence. Rapid Taping® is a innovative personal transformation method. It involves gently tapping on specific acupressure points and rewires your thoughts, emotions and energy in under ten minutes. Created as a method and UK built app by global EFT Tapping author and expert, Poppy Delbridge, this neuroscience-backed practice is used worldwide. It can quickly calm the nervous system, boost confidence, and help you break through mental blocks — perfect for race day nerves, runners imposter syndrome, or lack of motivation. And I am proud to have been trained directly by Poppy herself!

Meditation is the practice of bringing your attention to the present moment — often by focusing on your breath, body sensations, or surroundings. It’s a simple, powerful way to build awareness, calm your mind, and strengthen your connection to your body. As a qualified yoga and meditation teacher I teach a range of meditation techniques but I give particular focus on mindfulness meditation and incorporation of self compassion. You don’t have to sit still for hours or “empty your mind.” It's about noticing your thoughts, not judging them, and gently returning to the now.

Mental imagery is a popular cognitive simulation technique defined as “a symbolic sensory experience that may occur in any sensory mode” (Hardy et al., 1996, p.28). I guide you to create immersive mental imagery to rehearse skills or an outcome. It’s very popular in amongst professional and elite athletes and teams.

It’s a myth that you need to silence the mind and not think during meditation. We will start exactly where you are. I’ll guide you through everything step-by-step. Whether you’re brand new or have tried some of these tools before, we’ll tailor the sessions to your needs and experience. I have lots of tricks and techniques that will help. AND mediation and mental imagery involves lots of thinking, so your thinking monkey mind might be an advantage!

Think of mindset work like a warm-up or cool-down — it doesn’t take long, but it can make a big difference.

Tapping and meditation don’t require hours of your time. Many clients start with just 5–10 minutes a few times a week before building daily for ultimate results, often:

• After a run to process emotions or clear mental blocks

• Before a key session or race to boost focus and confidence

• On rest days to reset and recharge

You can treat it like mental strength training — small, consistent efforts lead to powerful results. I’ll help you build something that fits your routine and feels sustainable. Rapid Tapping in particular is designed to be just that, rapid to do and rapid to deliver results. And trust me, you will love the way it makes you feel so much that you will want to do this daily! It will become as essential as brushing your teeth.
