Show Jumper
R Lawson, Show jumper, Leeds
9th July, 2007: ” I’ve been doing all the things you suggested and the results are amazing. I did exactly what you said (even when it felt weird!)….Better concentration, more accurate, also able to stop negative thoughts. Our results in the ring have been great. We’ve been to 3 shows with Sid, jumped clear at first show in a 1.05 class, had a long wait before the class so it was good to see that what you suggested worked. Next show got third place in the 1.10 class, rode lovely…and then jumped the 1.20 class. This is the first time I’ve jumped this class and we did really well, no nerves and rode really well. It’s really good to be able to work on the technical things without the mental state affecting the outcome.
November, 2007:”Janet (trainer) is noticing a real difference in my mental attitude”.
Elite Gymnast
Elite Gymanst – Parent testimonial
“R has come on in leaps and bounds to the extent that she has regained the moves she had lost and is now regaining the difficult moves on the beam that she had lost some time ago. So we would just like to say thank you once again, R has really benefited from your input and falls back to the techniques she has gained whenever she feels things are not going quite right. Christine Still (BBC gymnastics commentator and UK coach) and the other coaches have commented on how well she has progressed recently and have put it down to your input, and as a result has suggested that another gymnast in the club may also benefit from a similar input”
S. Parker, Elite Equestrian athlete
After working with Louise I am now thinking more positively towards competition and training.. and has enabled me to control my negative thoughts. These positive actions transfer to my horse which gives him confidence about his work, my horse is a lot more submissive and his attitude is to work is more focused.

I am just emailing you to thank you once a again for helping me with my golf…especially with my putting. This year has been very successful for me, my handicap has reduced from 7 to 5. I have also won a few competitions in the process. Your techniques have been very successful…I find that I am so more confident and relaxed when playing. Thank you. (December, 2008)

“Many thanks for your time last week. I played Sunday and had a very relaxing game and shot a 12 over par 82 which is probably my best round for 5 years!! – so thank you again. Even just chatting about things with you made a difference to how to approach things.”

Equestrian athlete, Leeds
July 2009
Louise worked with me to build up a set of techniques to re-structure my thought processes, giving me a positive attitude to what I do (not just my riding, but actually in all areas of my life!) I use these techniques every day, whether I’m training, competing or not riding at all. I have a whole new attitude to my sport but also to my work and other relationships and activities. I now understand how my whole way of thinking was affecting my training and competing and was hindering my performance.
