Andrea Firth

Over 20 years’ experience helping people be their best and thrive under pressure, in work, sport, and life.

I am a British Psychology Society (BPS) Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist, BPS Chartered Coaching Psychologist, HCPC Registered Practitioner Psychologist, and qualified Counsellor with over 20 years of experience helping people thrive in high-pressure environments. My approach combines evidence-based psychology with compassionate, person-centred therapy. I support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, low confidence, performance pressure, life transitions, and emotional challenges, while also helping them build resilience, self-awareness, and psychological flexibility. My therapeutic work draws on a range of approaches, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and having previously worked with organisations including  Canada Men’s National Team (including 2026 FIFA World Cup) Leeds United FC Men’s First Team, Tennis Australia Ladies, Lancashire Cricket – Women, UK Athletics, England Netball, and England Hockey, Qadsiah Women’s Football – Saudi Arabia,  as well as Olympic and Professional Athletes, Performing Artists (including London West End) and business people (UK and International). I believe that the skills that help people perform at their best are often the same skills that help them live well: self-compassion, emotional resilience, confidence, focus, and meaningful connection. Whether you are seeking support for your mental health, navigating a challenging period in life, or striving to achieve your potential, I offer a warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental space in which to explore, grow, and move forward.

Areas of interest: Anxiety, performance pressure, stress management, confidence and self-esteem, resilience, life transitions, wellbeing, sport and performance psychology, leadership development, and personal growth.

Achieving your best starts with feeling your best. As a Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist, Chartered Coaching Psychologist, and qualified Counsellor, I support people facing anxiety, stress, low confidence, performance pressure, and life transitions. Having worked with Olympic athletes, professional sports teams, performers, and business leaders, I understand the challenges of high-pressure environments. My approach combines psychological expertise with warmth and compassion, helping clients build confidence, emotional resilience, and lasting wellbeing so they can flourish in every area of life.
