Our Story
Star Mentality was founded with the goal of providing valuable sport psychology services in the UK and worldwide that athletes can rely on. Our passion stems from our personal experiences in sports, where we witnessed first-hand how the mind impacts performance - we recognised sports psychology as a key ingredient for success.
However, during these moments we found it difficult to access sport psychology resources, especially when we needed it most. Hence, this sparked the idea of Star Mentality. We knew there was a need for a service that would provide strong mental support for those in sports.
Thus, Star Mentality was born – a place of wisdom, passion, and expertise. We set out to build a sport psychology consultancy that would act as a support system for all athletes and nurture a high-performance mindset.
