Mr Chris Haddock

Psychologist

“I am a passionate Sport & Exercise Psychologist who focusses on helping individuals perform at their best.”

About Me

My passion as a Sport & Exercise Psychologist is helping you perform at your best. I collaborate with individuals to build mental resilience and sharpen focus. We'll explore practical strategies together, helping you manage pressure and cultivate a consistent mindset. This approach is ideal for athletes or anyone striving for excellence in their field.

Approach

I structure sessions around clear, practical steps tailored to where you're at, combining focused assessment with hands-on skills practice and short reflective review. I see people in Parkwood, Queensland and via secure online sessions, keeping pace steady and directed. Between appointments I set brief, achievable tasks and use simple measures to track anxiety, mood, trauma responses and performance trends so we can adapt strategies week to week. This way of working suits athletes, high‑performers and anyone wanting steady, measurable gains under pressure.
