Who finds their way here
Athletes whose results fall under the spotlight. Coaches and support staff who carry responsibility for others and have no counterpart of their own. And centres, academies and federations in phases that must not become visible to the outside.
— I.
Why clinical depth is rare in elite sport.
Most sport psychologists are pure mental coaches. As long as it's about motivation, routine and focus, that's enough. But when nervousness turns into an anxiety disorder, a slump into depression, a fall into trauma, exhaustion into burnout, or weight into a disorder — they have to refer on. The athlete drops out of a trusted relationship into an anonymous system, at the most vulnerable moment of all.
This is where the difference lies in one person: psychotherapeutic depth, emergency-psychological crisis competence and years of sport-psychological practice at once. The same trusted counterpart who works on performance can also hold a clinical crisis — without handover, without a file, without anyone finding out.

Crisis competence
Stabilisation after distressing events — fast, on site, under pressure.
iii
Understanding of sport
The logic of competition, selection and peak load — known from the inside.
Usually these three sit with three different people — with all the friction, waiting and visibility that arises in between. Here they converge in one counterpart.
The line where it gets serious
What a mental coach structurally cannot hold.
A serious injury mid-season. The collapse before the decisive start. A team in shock after an accident or a death. A confrontation with the media, with proceedings, with an accusation. A career end that arrives overnight.
These are not questions of motivation. These are psychological emergencies in an environment under extreme pressure that can let nothing reach the outside. This is exactly where emergency-psychological and clinical training interlock — reachable, discreet, without the detour through an unfamiliar system.
Whoever accompanies performance must be able to hold the crisis too — otherwise no one does.

The arc: from strain back into competition.
Crisis in elite sport rarely follows a template, but usually an arc. The work is dense and close-meshed at first and loosens once ground is regained — until the athlete is her own counterpart again.
Phase i
Acute
Holding when everything tips. Stabilisation in the moment, without escalation and without traces to the outside.
Phase ii
Working through
Processing what happened — injury, pressure, loss — and working on the patterns that stand in the way.
Phase iii
Return-to-Compete
Step by step back under competitive load — regulation, trust, form. Until what's one's own carries again.
— III.
What's possible here.
Performance under pressure
Regulation, focus and stability where the result is decided in the decisive moment.
Return-to-Compete
The way back after injury or crisis — psychologically accompanied, not only physically.
Crisis in the competitive environment
Emergency-psychological stabilisation for athletes, teams and staff — fast and discreet.
Career transition
Leading the end of a career as a turning point, rather than suffering it as a fall.

In professional sport, leaving controllable factors to chance is negligence — sport-psychological training is experience- and evidence-based, and practised systematically. Analyses (video, observation), coaching in person or by call. Supervision for coaches and staff, and support in youth elite sport, on request. Fees mandate-based — fees & terms.

Work happens where performance is made.
No waiting room, no file. At the training site, walking or by video — Switzerland-wide and international, with long experience under conditions that demand discretion and availability at once. Walking, because movement opens the mind — and for people whose body is their instrument anyway, that comes easily.

Availability within a mandate by arrangement — including in competition phases and across time zones. Day assignments and competition presence possible; emergency call-outs for athletes essentially immediate.
For centres, academies and federations
One psychological counterpart for an entire organisation.
Where an institution carries responsibility for many athletes — a national centre of excellence, an international academy, a federation —, a single, consistently reachable counterpart with clinical and emergency-psychological competence is rare and valuable. One point of contact instead of a web of responsibilities.
- Confidential one-to-one work with athletes
- Crisis readiness on call
- Supervision for coaches and staff
- Support through selection and transition phases
Mandate-based, without a fixed practice location — on site, walking or by video, wherever the organisation works.
First contact.
Confidential, by e-mail or phone. For athletes, staff and institutions alike. The first conversation is already work and clarifies whether it fits.
