PEAK PERFORMANCE THERAPY
CBT for Athletes, Sports and Performance Anxiety
Whether you’re a professional athlete, or you want to return to compete, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sports performance and in the lead-up to your performance is an excellent way to combat any nerves, anxieties, saboteur tendencies, or feelings of self-doubt.
Absolutely NOT!
CBT has been used for decades to support performers across various industries.
Many people apply these skills without formal training — or without realising it's CBT they're using.
It works for professional athletes and those returning to compete alike.

Is online CBT-I as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes!
Research consistently shows that digital delivery of CBT-i is equally effective, often with higher adherence rates because it removes the stress of travelling to an appointment while exhausted.
How long does it take to see results with CBT-I?
While every individual is different, many clients begin to see improvements in their sleep efficiency within 4 to 6 sessions, over the period of 8 to 12 weeks.
We focus on sustainable, long-term changes rather than ‘quick fixes.
Can I access your therapy if I am living outside the UK?
Yes.
We support a global community of people in the UK, international English-speaking individuals worldwide, expats, and people speaking other languages, as some of our therapists are native speakers of other languages.
We ensure that our online practice meets the necessary standards for remote care, providing you with high-quality, familiar British-standard expertise regardless of your current location.
What does "UK-Accredited" sleep therapist mean?
It means your therapist has undergone extensive, verified training and is registered with a major UK professional body (such as the BACP, UKCP, HCPC, or BABCP).
This guarantees we adhere to strict codes of ethics, receive regular clinical supervision, and commit to continuous professional development.
Do I need to prepare before therapy?
No, you don’t. You will have time to work with your therapist and work at your own pace.
However, when people come to therapy is for a reason, and they have already thought about what they want to work on, or have tried in the past interventions that have not been successfully.
We always support people to reflect on what they want to take from sessions and/or what they would like to work on.
Do I need to prepare before therapy?
You don’t need to decide this alone, we are here alongside you, in your therapeutic journey.
During your initial consultation, together, we will assess your needs and discuss which modality or combination of modalities is best suited to your specific goals and history.
