What We Do
We deliver individual online sport psychology sessions for ALL sports.
We specialise in supporting children from 7 years to young adults.
We build all of our sessions from the ground up with children in mind.
All of our focus always on creating FUN, ENGAGING, PRODUCTIVE SESSIONS for your child.
…Therefore we believe we deliver the most fun, engaging and productive children’s sport psychology sessions on the market and we’ll build a plan with you in your first FREE session to prove it! You can book it here.
The Process
It’s just 3 simple steps…
Step 1 - Parent Chat
30-40 minutes (FREE)
Just for parents - we will identify;
1) What’s going well.
2) Allow you to offload about what isn’t.
3) Build a clear picture of what you/your child’s ideal life looks like.
4) We’ll create a fun, engaging and achievable plan to get you there!
You’ll do this with our head of psychology, Ross (he’s lovely)!
Step 2 - Trial Session
60 minutes
A custom built session for your child.
We’ll make sure you child loves it and finishes the session having genuinely moved forwards.
Step 3 - Regular Sessions
60 minutes
From confidence to handling pressure, we’ll work towards the goals we built during your parent chat and trial session.
Why we say online is best!
In 2024 we moved to 99% online sessions because parents asked for it and we saw better outcomes online. Here’s why…
ONLINE
IN PERSON
THE ENVIRONMENT
A new adult unknown environment + new person = a lot to take in and kids can become shy/withdrawn. The opposite of what we want = weaker outcomes
A very familiar environment at home = much more comfortable, open and confident = more fun and productive sessions = great outcomes.
CONVENIENCE
Open the laptop, click the link and you’re good to go - and you then have a free hour to get stuff done at home!
Get the kids dressed, ready and in the car / drive to the location / doom scroll for an hour / drive home.
COST
No venue cost / no fuel cost = we have the best value sessions on the market. The average price of sport psychology on the first 5 pages of google = £93.60. PEAK is 30-50% cheaper!
+ You don’t have your own fuel costs either!
Venue costs + our travel/fuel costs = session prices are higher.
FITTING INTO
YOUR BUSY LIFE
No travel = the session is an hour and that’s it! Making it possible to fit in easily around other training etc.
And as we mentioned above, you can actually get stuff done whilst it’s happening!
10 mins to get ready + 30 mins to drive + 1 hour session (with you stuck waiting in the car) + 30 mins drive home = 2hrs 10mins.
A big ask to do that and training on a school night.
NOTES FOR PARENTS: If in person worked, we would do it (in fact we have done in the past)! But over 5000 sessions have told us that online is unequivocally the best way to achieve consistent positive outcomes whether you have a 7 year old with ADHD or a 21 year old athlete.
NOTES FOR PARENTS: It’s worth remembering that our kids didn’t grow up in the world we did. Because we once had to deal with ‘dial up’ we have some lasting negatives connotations with ‘online’. Kids don’t and see online as completely normal!
Maximising Your Child’s Potential
We chat to a lot of parents and kids who are time poor - they play sport every day after school/college.
If you speak to a coach, they’ll often tell you that more coaching = better results. But that’s just not what we see.
Yes it’s important to get the reps in - but at the same time, balance is key and rest is important. In almost no sports do the pros have no rest days - that’s because physical breaks really matter.
If you put Child A up against Child B when the pressure is on, the one who’s well rested and has the right mindset is far more likely to come out on top.
Child A - Heavy Training Load (most people we see).
Child B - Balanced Life (the people who we succeed consistently).
Why Choose PEAK?
We’ve done over 5000 sessions with children - so we know what they love and we know what they don’t love.This knowledge that can only be built with experience working with children and informs every session we build.
We build every session with the thought process of“If it’s fun, they’ll enjoy it - if they enjoy it, they’ll want to do it again - if they want to do it again, we can make loads of progress towards your/their goals”.
We make your child’s existing interests are core part of each session. So whether they love Roblox, Football or Taylor Swift, we’ll use them to get them to engage with psychology.
We know there are other great psychologists out there - but when it comes to children and young adults, we genuinely believe you will not find a better option than PEAK - and we’ll give it to you for free to prove it. Judge us by our actions.
We’re a young team which has really helped us to connect to the children we support.
(Often psychology can fall into a parent/child or teacher/pupil dynamic). We make sure that doesn’t happen at PEAK. Your kids feel on the same level as our team.
Everyone on our team is qualified to do sessions - we’re not ‘mindset coaches’ or ‘brain coaches’ who have no qualifications. (Sport psychologist is a protected title) - so people use titles that include ‘mindset’ do it to dodge a lack of 4+ years of higher education required to be deliver individual sessions. (The qualification pathway is complicated - feel free to ask us about it so you know exactly what you’re getting with us). Our team averages 6 years of higher education.
We have online software that tracks progress - both you and your child can access this 24/7, so you always know what the plan is and the steps we’re taking to get there.
We’re 30-50% cheaper than our competition because we have a backroom team that handles the admin, freeing up our psychology team to focus entirely on psychology. A more efficient system = cheaper prices for you.
Hi, I’m Matt, I started PEAK Psychology in 2023 with the goal of delivering the best child focused sport psychology sessions on the market.
Meet the Founder
Right now there are a lot of ‘mindset coaches’ and ‘life coaches’ who are not qualified and trying to force adult concepts into a kid friendly format.
PEAK exists to solve that problem. My goal every day is to make sure that every session we do is fun, engaging and super productive for your child.
We use the latest psychology research and have a psychology team who are qualified to deliver it at the highest level.
When we started, we spent 3 years developing sessions to get sport psychology to a place where kids look forward to their psychology sessions as much as they look forward to their sports training and matches. After one session, I hope you’ll agree that we’ve achieved that.

FAQs
How much are sessions?
1
99% of sessions are £60-£70.
The average price of equivalent sessions across the first 5 pages of google is approximately £93. We are cheaper because our psychology team only do sessions (and none of the non-psych admin a normal psychologist would).
This admin is done by Matt & Ross making us the most efficient psychology team in the UK.
We look to build long term relationships with the people we support (just like ou do with your sports coach). That’s because psychology is just like sport - if you have never played a sport before, a couple of sessions will definitely improve you, but to become proficient, it takes steady practice over time. Psychology is exactly the same.
