Looking beneath the surface

The athlete is not the only person affected

Competitive sport can reorganize family schedules, finances, relationships, and expectations. Therapy can explore how each person is affected and what the family is trying to protect or achieve.

How therapy may help

Keep achievement connected to relationship and wellbeing

The focus is the family system: communication, expectations, anxiety, boundaries, sacrifice, and connection around the sport experience.

What we may explore

This is family and relationship-focused support. Yvonne does not present as a sports psychologist or athletic performance coach.
