Changing Minds UK COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Helping navigate change, maximise performance, and realise potential.

With a growing recognition of the limitations of applying psychology within traditional services, James and Andy created Changing Minds in order to apply psychological knowledge and theory more flexibly and effectively within the โ€˜real worldโ€™. They believe strongly in the importance of relationships and working with the existing strengths inherent in individuals and systems. Driven by a passion to

develop more positive futures and enable others to realise their potential, Changing Minds UK has developed to work in the UK and internationally with individuals and organisations across a range of settings including high performance sport, business, mental health and criminal justice.

Very proud our own Dr Alex Turner, who kicked off this year's Postgraduate Research Conference at Department of Sport Science at Prifysgol Bangor University with a talk on the value of bringing yourself into your work. ๐Ÿ’ผ

It's a question we come back to a lot: how much of "you" shows up in what you do, and what happens when there's a gap between the two?

Well done also to the conference award winners, Taylor Williams, Nia Williams and Freya Losvik, and thanks to everyone involved in putting the day together.

Last month, Andrew Rogers, our co-Founder, spoke at the TASS Conference on the hidden psychology of sustainable high performance. ๐Ÿง 

One of the key messages was simple: performance challenges rarely exist in isolation. They are shaped by the environments, relationships and cultures people operate within every day.

In high-performance sport, we ask a great deal of athletes, coaches and support staff. Yet the psychological impact of constant pressure, uncertainty and expectation over time often remains invisible until it emerges as burnout, disengagement or performance that cannot be sustained.

Drawing on experience across elite sport, NHS, and Criminal Justice, Andrew Rogers explored why understanding context is often the key to understanding performance, and importantly what to do about it.

The session also introduced Performing Wellยฎ๏ธ and highlighted how approaches such as shared formulation and The SMART Toolโ„ข๏ธ can help create environments that support psychological readiness, resilience and belonging, maximising performance, whilst reducing the potential risks.

A huge thank you to TASS for the invitation and to everyone who contributed to such thoughtful discussions throughout the conference.

What role do you think culture and environment play in sustaining high performance over time? ๐Ÿƒ

For the past 19 years, supporting women's sport through psychology has been a core part of what we do. We've seen first-hand the difference psychological support can make, not just to athletes, but to coaches, support staff and the environments around them. ๐Ÿ“ฃ

It's encouraging to see psychology increasingly recognised as a key part of helping women in sport perform and thrive sustainably.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be exploring the unique psychological demands, pressures and opportunities in women's sport, and sharing insights into what it takes to create environments where people can perform at their best, for the long term.

What questions do you have about psychology in women's sport? Let us know below ๐Ÿ‘‡

So proud of our own Dr Susan Wood this week. World Cup gold with England Women's O35s, her 50th England cap, and a goal in the final for good measure. ๐Ÿ‘

Captaining a team to a title like that takes more than skill on the pitch. It takes leading through pressure, building strong relationships, creating space for people to play to their strengths, and communicating with clarity when it matters most.

All things we talk about often, and brilliant to see lived out at the highest level.

Huge congratulations, Sue, this is thoroughly deserved. ๐Ÿฅ‡

Very proud of our own Sport Psychologist in training Kate Walsh, who spent last week at the FEPSAC European Federation of Sport Psychology in TimiลŸoara. ๐Ÿ“ฃ

She opened the week as part of a symposium on rethinking the performance and wellbeing relationship in elite sport, speaking to why that debate looks different for women.

Later in the week, she presented two of her own PhD studies, exploring what protects and promotes mental health in world-class female athletes, and what changes they say are needed to support them properly.

Well done Kate! ๐Ÿ‘
