Mind to Win is a high-kicking cheerlead for agility handlers. I bring my professional therapeutic expertise but YOU are the expert on your life. We bring those things together in recognition that you can become who you want to be and I want to help you get there.
I'm what's probably best understood as a systemic therapist- which just means that I look at a whole host of relevant factors that might be impacting you and pay attention to those while we're working together. If you know anything about therapy at all, you'll already have picked up that Narrative Therapy is my currently favoured theory. For me, what this means is that I want to empower you as the expert on your own life- not play the "expert"- and that I believe we all hold stories of success that sometimes get lost as a problem-story takes over and becomes dominant. Helping you find and use those stories is part of our work as we undermine the "problem-story" and start writing the stories of success you'll want to keep re-telling!
I'm grown up in and around agility and have competed in N. Ireland, England, Scotland, Republic of Ireland and USA. I qualified for the WAO NI 2011 squad and have also trained handlers and judged competitions in my native N. Ireland. It was a natural progression for me to wonder how my therapeutic work could help handlers and this has developed into working with competitors at local, national and world standards. My work has gone beyond agility to include other sports and this work is a wonderful accompaniment to my private practice work and research.
If you've any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I'd love to hear from you- mindtowin@gmail.com or 02895 811402
