Dr Sarah Sinnamon
Psychologist
“Performance psychologist & author, specialising in music & performing arts. I provide evidence-based strategies for managing & enhancing performance experiences”
About Me
I help musicians and performing artists transform stage nerves into confident presence. Through evidence-based strategies, we explore practical tools to manage performance anxiety and hone your focus. My approach is tailored for those navigating the unique pressures of the creative world. You'll find a collaborative space to build resilience. This helps you consistently deliver your best work and truly enjoy your craft.
Approach
We begin by mapping performance triggers and personal strengths, then translate those insights into concrete rehearsal and on-stage routines that you can practise between sessions. In Dublin and online, in English, sessions are structured and paced to suit your schedule—short focal practices, movement or breath work, and targeted cognitive tools. I draw on research-backed techniques to train attention, manage arousal, and build automatic responses so skills transfer under pressure. Musicians and performers who want steady, practical progress tend to find this focused, collaborative rhythm helpful.
