Individual Mental Performance Coaching

Discover how you can achieve peak performance levels and foster peace of mind through our 3-month journey.

The 3-month journey

Why 3 Months?

Just like with anything else, mental skills take practice. It takes time to develop skills like visualisation, positive self-talk, and goal-setting, and make them automatic. Research has shown it can take 4-8 weeks to learn a new cognitive or behavioural skill (Bordo, Costanzo & Villani, 2025; Fletcher & Sakar, 2016).

How Do We Start?

In our first session together, we will discuss what you want to achieve and set a collaborative goal (e.g. “After 3 months of working together, I want to feel confident going into any match”). After this, I will map out a three-month plan for us to achieve this goal. This would include individual sessions, matchday/training observations, measurement tools, regular check-ins and reports, and discussions with other key stakeholders (e.g. coaches, parents).

What Are Sessions Like?

At the 3-month mark, we will evaluate our progress towards the goal(s) we set and discuss next steps. It is crucial to the process that the client is open, honest and accountable in completing any tasks assigned between sessions. In return, you can expect Hiren to demonstrate care for the client that goes above and beyond, while maintaining confidentiality and a strict ethical code of practice (i.e. guided by the British Psychological Society).

Hear from our athletes about their experience

Through a cognitive and evidence approach Hiren was able to break down the mental blocks I had created about my game. Once they were deconstructed and with the help of visualization I was able to play the game I loved freely and be reminded why I fell in love with the game. I hope everyone finds the “passion fruit” in their game.

As a parent, reading Hiren’s session feedback has been a valuable tool for me to better understand areas where I can support him in everyday life and in his tennis training. Whether or not a child is playing sport, having a professional like Hiren help a child develop successful coping mechanisms is critical.

L.E. (Mother of 12-year-old tennis player)

The work Hiren is doing with my son is not something we can ever measure week by week, month by month or even quarter by quarter. It is best measured through adversity and seeing his ability to bounce back and dig into the toolbox. We recently were presented with such a situation and all I can say is we are fortunate to have Hiren in his corner.

A.B. (Father of 16-year-old tennis player)

Hiren Khemlani’s influence on me has been nothing short of transformative. As both sports psychologist and manager, he has played an integral role in my development. Not just as a footballer, but as a human being. On the pitch, Hiren’s insights into mindset, performance pressure, and mental resilience helped me unlock levels of focus and confidence I didn’t know I had. Off the pitch, his genuine care and psychological support guided me through some of the most challenging moments in my mental health journey.
