Ignite Your Potential. Perform At Your Best.

Performance psychology for sport, business and high-performers.

Where Mindset Meets High Performance

High performance isn’t just about talent or hard work - it’s about how you think, respond, and perform under pressure.

At Ignite Performance Psychology, I help athletes, professionals, and ambitious individuals develop the mental skills that drive consistent, confident performance. Using evidence-based psychological strategies, we strengthen focus, resilience, and self-belief - so you can perform at your best when it matters most.

  • My approach is evidence-based, practical, and tailored to you.

    Together, we focus on developing core mental skills such as:

    • Confidence and self-belief

    • Focus and concentration

    • Managing pressure and nerves

    • Motivation and consistency

    • Resilience after setbacks

    Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, giving you strategies you can apply immediately in your performance environment.

  • I work with individuals and groups who perform in high-pressure environments, including:

    Athletes – From developing competitors to elite performers looking to develop in this area

    High-Performers – Musicians, performing arts and more. I work with driven individuals aiming to perform at their best

    Business Professionals – Leaders, teams, and entrepreneurs navigating pressure, responsibility, and high expectations

    If your mindset plays a role in your performance - this work is for you.

I’m Dr Sarah Findlay, a performance psychologist passionate about helping people unlock their potential by strengthening the mental side of performance.

I work with athletes, professionals, and high-achievers who want more than just quick fixes - they want lasting mental skills that support both performance and wellbeing.

My approach is practical, supportive, and grounded in psychological science. Together, we build tools you can rely on when the pressure is on - not just when things feel easy.
