Frequently asked questions
This page answers practical questions about the initial conversation, sessions, online consultations, confidentiality and work with sporting organisations.
No. The work can be relevant at different levels of practice, from young athletes to committed competitors. Sessions are adapted to age, sport, level, daily rhythm and the real constraints of practice.
Mental preparation works with practical tools such as routines, attention, mental imagery, self-talk and goal setting. Sport psychology also considers the emotional, relational, organisational and ethical dimensions of performance.
The initial conversation clarifies the request, the sport concerned, the main constraints and the situations in which the mental dimension becomes an issue. It also helps determine whether the proposed format is appropriate.

Yes. Sessions can include a one-off workshop, a series of interventions, team support, support for staff or a programme integrated into the season. Objectives are agreed with the organisation before work begins.
Confidentiality is clarified from the outset. Individual information is not shared with a club, coach or parent without clear agreement on what may be shared, with whom and for what purpose. Exceptions may apply in the event of serious risk or a legal obligation.

There is no standard number. Some requests can be addressed in a few targeted sessions, while more regular support may be useful during a period of competition, return or a season. The pace is decided according to the request, constraints and how the work develops.
