Psychological Wellbeing & Performance
This page will signpost you to various mental health or psychology-related professionals. At The Athlete Place, we are not a mental health service, therefore, ensuring you are aware and can access those who are is very important to us.
Remember, a happy athlete is a successful athlete.
Sporting Wellness
Raising awareness and providing support to enable positive mental health in young sportspeople.
Sporting Minds UK offers FREE mental health support to athletes over the age of 16.
The biggest barriers to getting mental health support are often waiting times and cost – Sporting Wellness eliminates both of these.
Mind UK
We provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.
We won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect.

The Samaritans
In the words of their website:
"We’re here, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure.
Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, we’re taking action to prevent the crisis.
We give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. And we encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can save lives.
We offer listening and support to people and communities in times of need."
