Unique Sports Counselling seeks to provide a quality sports counselling service to both former and current professional sportsmen and sportswomen whilst retaining a commitment to those competing at grassroots level, which, after all, is where all those who become professional sportspeople begin their sporting journey.

More than ever before, the professional sportsperson faces enormous pressures. The pay, the press and the perks, along with “The gold, the girls and the glory” serves to ensure that counselling will become as essential to the modern footballer as football coaching. Whilst football coaching enhances the individual’s footballing competence, counselling provided by the lifestyle coach promotes the individual’s emotional competence.

Why sports counselling? What’s unique about the counselling we offer? As ex professionals all our counselling coaches have first hand experience of professional sport. They have if you like walked in your boots – you’re in safe hands.
