Recovery from Accident and Inujry
Regain your mental space to perform at your best
Mental Edge Training Program for athletes recovering from injury and setbacks
Four Personalised Sessions Tailored for Elite Athletes and Sports Professionals.
An injury can take you out of the game physically, but the psychological impact can last long after the initial accident. The Mental Edge Training programme for athletes recovering from injury and setbacks combines Sports Psychology and Sports hypnosis to help you recovery your mental space and build back your edge.
Fear of reinjury, frustration, loss of confidence and uncertainty about returning to competition can become significant obstacles during rehabilitation. This programme can support work on mental rehearsal, focus, confidence, motivation and the emotional challenges of recovery.
Whether you're working towards your first training session after an accident or trying to regain your competitive edge, your mental preparation deserves attention alongside your physical rehabilitation.
Your setback is part of your story. It doesn't have to define what comes next.
Recover your mental game
I have helped a wide range of top athletes and sportspeople redevelop the clarity of mind, confidence and resilience to face challenges both on and off the field. When you train your mind as purposefully as you train your body, you give yourself another valuable tool to perform with confidence, stay focused under pressure and pursue your sporting goals.
Your potential is more than just your physical ability
Athletic performance depends on far more than physical fitness and technical ability. Past injuries, personal challenges, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, and the pressures of competition can affect an athlete’s focus, confidence, and ability to perform at their best.
Behind the scenes, athletes often carry emotional and psychological burdens that others never see. The expectations of coaches, family, teammates and their chosen sport can be immense, while the pressure they place on themselves can be even greater.
Even the most physically prepared athletes can struggle with self-doubt, performance anxiety, limiting beliefs or a fear of failure and so forth. These challenges can interfere with concentration, undermine confidence and prevent athletes from reaching their full potential.
Unlock your mental edge
I understand the emotional journey involved in pursuing sporting excellence. I recognise that achieving peak performance isn't just about physical preparation; it’s also about developing the mental strength, emotional balance and s.elf-belief needed to navigate the challenges of sport and life.
By combining my degree in psychology with sports hypnosis, I provide a personalised approach to mental edge training that helps athletes work through mental barriers, manage distractions and strengthen their mindset.
Sports hypnosis can be used alongside psychological strategies to help athletes develop greater focus, build confidence and learn to approach competition with a calmer, more composed mindset.
Rediscover what you are capable of
The 3 ingredients to your building your mental edge:
Composure: Learn strategies, tools and techniques to manage nerves, expectations and competitive pressure.
Resilience: Navigate setbacks and maintain perspective when sport gets challenging.
Confidence: Develop deeper confidence in yourself and your abilities.
The Mental Edge Training Programme
Session 1: Eliminating Self Sabotage
Often a troubling memory needs to be lifted that is holding you back and causing self-sabotage. Many of my athletes don’t even realise this is happening until we have a chat.
Session 2: Achieving your goals
Relax and reset your goals. In this session we will embed self-confidence triggers so that you can always perform at your best.
Session 3: Entering the Flow state
It’s time to amp up your performance. I will equip you with the mental tools and techniques to direct your focus and quickly get into your flow state.
Session 4: Mental Rehearsal - Performance for the future
Rehearse deep within the subconscious mind the perfect performance in the future – this is a powerful session and often my athlete’s favourite session.
Additional sessions available
Sometimes an athlete is in pain either from injury or accident. In a deep hypnosis, we can dial down the pain symptoms (depending on what’s going on) and then teach a self-hypnosis technique to maintain higher levels of health and wellbeing.

A special word from my clients
It’s a priviledge to have helped so many people break down barriers and unlock their peak potential.
“ I felt I’d lost a bit of my mental edge in my marathon runs of recent and Sonia’s process was exactly what I needed to get back on track. Very next race, I nailed my goal perfectly, but also felt very comfortable, calm and in control throughout. There is zero question that Sonia has helped me get me back on track, and likely better than I’ve ever been.“
- Sean K.
“ Sonia is just incredible. She has helped me in many areas. But she has completely made me feel like I can race triathlon again competitively again after a major head injury that caused me a lot of anxiety and PTSD issues and I have made so much progress since working with her. Progress I honestly felt I may never be able to make.“
