Sports Psychology Therapists in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

Athletes and active individuals often face pressure related to performance and competition. Therapy focuses on building mental resilience, focus, and emotional balance to support both performance and well being.

Having grown up as a competitive athlete and earning a Masters degree in Sport & Exercise Psychology, I help athletes with their mental performance and support them through challenges faced inside and outside of sport.

If you are an athlete or performer, you know that mindset can impact performance just as much as physical training. You may struggle with performance anxiety, loss of confidence after injury, pressure to succeed, or difficulty staying focused under stress. Even highly skilled athletes can feel mentally blocked at times. At Selah Counselling, we approach sports psychology with practical, evidence-based strategies that strengthen mental resilience. We focus on performance mindset, emotional regulation, confidence-building, and pressure management in high-demand environments. Together, we work on sharpening focus, recovering from setbacks, and building consistency so your mental game supports your physical ability. The goal is not just peak performance, but sustainable confidence and steadiness both on and off the field.

Success in sports requires more than physical ability—it also depends on confidence, focus, resilience, and mental preparation. Performance anxiety, fear of failure, injuries, setbacks, or pressure to succeed can affect athletes at every level. At Trickett Psychotherapy & Counselling, we help athletes and active individuals strengthen mental performance, improve emotional resilience, manage stress, and build the confidence needed to perform at their best both on and off the field. We offer sports psychology and performance counselling in Guelph and secure online therapy across Ontario. Contact us today to book your consultation and unlock your full potential.

Peak performance requires mental strength. I help athletes build focus, manage pressure, and overcome mental barriers to achieve their full potential in and out of competition.

Saskatoon is Saskatchewan's largest city and an emerging hub for agriculture technology, mining, and biotechnology — sectors that shape a therapy landscape distinct from more diversified Canadian metros. The city has a significant Indigenous population, with First Nations and Métis residents comprising a larger proportion of urban residents than in most Canadian cities outside Winnipeg, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care — including work on intergenerational trauma from residential schools — are an especially important part of the local mental health landscape. Saskatchewan Health Authority provides public mental health services, while the University of Saskatchewan's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community. Saskatoon's cold winters and geographic isolation contribute to seasonal mood challenges that therapists here address as a recurring clinical priority.
