A little About Leah ...
... PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
- AHPRA Registered Psychologist - Masters in Applied Psychology (Sports)
Born into a sporting family, it was evident from a young age that I also had a passion for sports. And so from my playing experiences in softball and netball at a State level, I fostered the desire to assist those involved in sports, may they be from the developing to the elite, with their mind-set and emotion-set to sport AND life.
Furthermore, given the high performance and personal demands in the corporate world, over the years I have broadened my professional interest to work with a variety of government and private sector organisations in a similar manner.
As a result, for the past 23 years BtE has forged successful partnerships in a variety of settings including:
- Performance Psychology consultancy with organisations such as Netball Victoria, Netball Australia, AFLPA, Swimming Victoria, Melbourne Golf Academy (MGA), Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS), Bendigo Bank Academy of Sport (BBAS), Melbourne International Tennis School (MITS), Australian Volleyball Federation, and Lacrosse Victoria, as well as working with individual athletes from sports such as horseracing, V8 Supercars, triathlon, basketball (WNBL), karate and soccer, as well as stage performers.
AND…
- Corporate Employee Assistance Program (EAP) work through Victorian Ambulance Counselling Unit (VACU), International Psychological Services (IPS), PPC Worldwide, Barrington Centre and Netball Australia.
... Passion and Purpose
My passion project, and a signature program to BtE, is …
GAIN IN THE PAIN – Post Traumatic Growth
… for those whose strength and drive have served them well, but who now need new skills to heal, process, and grow from any and every kind of traumatic loss or setback.
Unlike other performance psychology programs that tend to focus solely on the performance mindset, this program provides a holistic framework to …
- minimise somatic and emotional suffering which is occurring “below the neck”,
- reprogram the mindset “between the ears”,
- align to your essential self and desires, and then be able to
- perform from a place of freedom so you BOUNCE FORWARD and even HIGHER.
- "SEE THE GAIN IN THE PAIN!"
... Away from bte
You’ll find me at the property my husband and I have created to care for our racehorses, two GSP’s (some of you may meet Stella the Therapy Dog!), and the local wildlife that likes to make themselves at home.
If not there, I might be laughing and having fun in a Pilates class, on the golf course or driving to special events in my vintage VW Beetle.
Otherwise I’ll be travelling to watch our racehorses do what they do best, visiting friends and family interstate or creating new adventures overseas.
