Although many of us know that there are benefits to eating healthily and physical activity, it can sometimes still feel difficult to translate our intentions into action. This is where the field of Exercise Psychology comes in. Exercise psychology uses psychological principles to support individuals in making positive health behaviour changes and to develop a healthy and sustainable relationship with food and movement.

Working with an exercise psychologist might be helpful for you if you experience any of the following:

• If you struggle to motivate yourself and maintain a consistent exercise routine and find yourself engaging in yo-yo dieting.
• If you experience gym anxiety (worries, fear and stress related to working out in public settings e.g. the gym).
• If you feel that your relationship with food and exercise has become unhealthy (e.g. over exercising/ disordered eating).
• If you engage in physical activity but struggle with mental blocks that prevent you from reaching your full potential.
• If you are a personal trainer/coach who would like to embed exercise psychology principles into their practice.
