I am currently working as part of the Loughborough Applied Psychology Service (LAPS) with Loughborough Lightning Wheelchair Basketball. This opportunity is enabling me to complete my Stage 2 Training with the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences to become a HCPC accredited Sport and Exercise Psychologist.

LAPS has enabled me to take the first step into applied work with the support of other training sport psychologists and a supervisor. The opportunity for peer support is endless and has accelerated my development.

My role involves working within an interdisciplinary team to deliver sport psychology through practitioners. I also deliver 1-1 support to athletes and the nature of this support is tailored to each individual.

Working within Loughborough Lightning has given me early experience in elite sport and enabled me to work collaboratively with head coaches, physiotherapists, nutritionists, physiologists, performance analysts and strength and conditioning coaches.
