About Me
I am a Clinical Psychologist in Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa. I offer online therapy, performance coaching and relationship counseling. I help you set clear goals and build simple steps for better communication and focus.
Approach
A former world-ranked professional tennis player who represented South Africa, Toni Gaddie is a clinical and sports psychologist. Toni specialises in those qualities, skills and tools that create “whole champions” in all aspects of life. She is the co-founder of the Champion Academy with her sister Rikki Dworcan.
For over 20 years, Toni has been interviewing and studying many sporting world champions with a view to understanding and codifying their winning mind-sets. Her master’s degree thesis in psychology is entitled The Making of Champions: A Constructed Reality.
She has attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland twice where she workshopped and learned from a number of leaders in their respective fields, including Daniel Goldman (a pioneer of emotional intelligence), Jon Kabat-Zinn (a pioneer of mindfulness in the western world), Paul Coelho (world-renowned author of The Alchemist), Marissa Mayer (former CEO of Google and Yahoo) and Saul Perlmutter (winner of the 2011 Noble Prize for physics).
A regular contributor to Radio 702 on the subject of performance psychology, Toni consults with and presents to top national and international sportspeople, performing artists and business leaders and their organisations with a view to “growing whole champions”. Toni is married to Allon Raiz and they have two young sons.

Harnessing your inner critic
The bad news is that we all have a critical voice in our heads. The good news is that we can harness our inner critic to boost performance in sport and life.
When things seem to be falling apart just go to the bathroom.
There you can reset your intentions, strategy, or solutions to your renewed performance on return to the place of tension or pressure.
