Athletic Performance Counselling

Elevating Your Game Through Mental Wellness.
Success in sport isn’t just about physical training, your mental game is just as important. At Tideline Wellness, we work with athletes of all levels to strengthen mental resilience, manage performance pressure, and navigate the unique emotional challenges of competitive environments.

As a endurance athlete and experienced counsellor, Natalie understands firsthand the mental demands of training, competition, injury, and transition. We combine performance psychology techniques with compassionate counselling to help you achieve your goals while protecting your mental well-being.

We help athletes with:

• Managing pre-competition nerves and anxiety

• Staying focused under pressure

• Overcoming setbacks and loss of confidence

• Navigating injuries and rehabilitation

• Balancing sport with school, work, or personal life

• Transitioning out of competitive sport

• Coping with burnout and overtraining

• Building a healthy relationship with sport and self

Our approach includes:

• Mental skills training (visualization, focus, and self-talk techniques)

• Stress and anxiety management strategies

• Goal-setting and motivation support

• Emotional processing for challenges on and off the field

• Identity and confidence-building beyond athletic performance

We understand both the mindset of an athlete and the importance of mental health in sustaining long-term success. Our work goes beyond the scoreboard, it’s about helping you perform at your best while staying balanced, motivated, and fulfilled.

Concussion Counselling

Supporting Your Mental and Emotional Recovery After a Concussion.

Recovering from a concussion is about more than physical healing. The mental and emotional toll can be just as challenging and sometimes even more difficult to navigate.

Our concussion counselling services provide a safe and supportive space to process the emotional impact of your injury, develop coping strategies, and work toward regaining confidence in your daily life. Whether your concussion resulted from sports, an accident, or another injury, we’ll help you address the mental health challenges that can accompany it.

Common challenges after a concussion may include:

• Anxiety, depression, or mood swings

• Difficulty concentrating or remembering

• Frustration with slower thinking or physical recovery

• Fear of re-injury or returning to activities

• Changes in identity, especially for athletes

• Social isolation during recovery

How Concussion Counselling Helps:

• Provides emotional validation and understanding from someone who knows recovery isn’t linear

• Teaches practical tools to manage frustration, anxiety, and mental fatigue

• Supports adjustment to changes in physical ability, work, or sports participation

• Helps rebuild self-confidence and trust in your body

• Encourages healthy pacing and boundary-setting during recovery

Your recovery is about more than getting back on your feet , it’s about feeling like yourself again.
