Whilst producing high quality research within the sports performance field and with sports governing bodies, we strive to enhance the psychological well-being of the peoples and the United Kingdom as the lead in the sporting world.

​

With an Equestrian background, we have looked to strive through a holistic use of psychological techniques. With Equestrian being a unique bond between man and horse, neither of which can verbally communicate, the use of behaviourism and Psychology are critical for success.

​

With Psychology today seen as the new kid on the block with its popularity rising in all areas of our lives, and current research is fully locked in on how we can utilise Psychology for our benefit. Yet this, relatively new social phenomenon, has been used by humans since the dawn of humanity. It is only now with our own determination to excel and become more effect at what we do is what makes us buy into psychology as a whole.

 

With extensive study and knowledge within Psychology and Sport Psychology, many athletes we have worked with express our approach with every turn being human centred and bespoke to them.

​

During his Masters, Daniel was given the opportunity to work with the British Equestrian Federation and produce research on Talent Development – promoting the best and upcoming British riders under Dressage, Showjumping and Eventing.

​

A graduate from the University of Central Lancashire in BSc (Hons) Psychology and MSc Sports & Exercise Psychology from Sheffield Hallam University. Daniel is following his passion in the field of Sport Psychology in his career as one of the few chartered Performance Psychologists in the United Kingdom. This allows to push his athletes above the rest of the competition. It is Daniel's aim to help riders and athletes across the full spectrum from the Novice to those in the Elite and Super Elite circuit, this may be proposed in the method of consultations, clinics, group work and/or training periods in the future.
