You know how to push through pain

But what if your strongest performance came from balance, not burnout?

Athletes are trained to override discomfort, stay disciplined, and keep moving. But when stress, injury, or pressure pile up, your body starts sending signals that grit alone can’t solve.

At Caspera Wellness, Athlete Counselling helps you reconnect with your body, understand the emotional patterns driving your performance, and release the internal pressure that keeps you stuck, so you can return to your sport with clarity, confidence, and compassion for yourself.

What Is Athlete Counselling?

This approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), and EMDR to help athletes heal from both physical and emotional injuries. 


It’s where sport psychology meets self-leadership — guiding you to understand your inner critic, rebuild trust after injury, and move from fear back into flow. 

Athlete Counselling Can Help With: 

Performance Anxiety or Perfectionism

Learn to work with the inner pressure that drives you, calm fear-based patterns, and reconnect with a grounded, confident mindset.

Burnout, Overtraining, or Loss of Motivation

Restore balance by understanding the parts pushing you past your limits, and rebuild sustainable drive without losing your passion.

Injury Recovery and Fear of Re-injury

Support the emotional and physical layers of recovery so your body can rebuild trust, reduce fear, and move safely back into training.

Identity Challenges After Stepping Back From Sport

Navigate shifts in purpose, roles, or routine with clarity, compassion, and tools to reconnect with who you are beyond performance.

Emotional Patterns Affecting Performance

Work through self-criticism, comparison, or guilt, and develop a steadier internal foundation so you can compete with more ease and focus.

What Sessions Look Like

Sessions are built to support both the athlete you are and the human beneath the pressure. Together, we slow down the noise, explore what’s driving your stress or performance blocks, and teach your system how to feel safe again, so you can train, compete, and recover with clarity and confidence.

In our work together, we’ll explore:

IFS exploration of parts tied to pressure, drive, or fear

PRT-based tools for chronic or stress-related pain

EMDR to release trauma from injuries or high-stress events

Somatic techniques for grounding and recovery

Performance mindset work rooted in nervous system awareness
