About The Competitive Edge with Philippa Dunn

My approach

My main framework is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In sport, ACT helps you to:

  • Make room for difficult thoughts and feelings, such as pressure, doubt or frustration, rather than being controlled by them

  • Stay present and focused on what matters in the moment

  • Clarify your personal values and take consistent action towards them, in training, in competition and in life outside sport

I’m also trained to Level 2 in Motivational Interviewing (MI), a collaborative, conversational method for building motivation and working through mixed feelings about change. I use it where it’s a better fit for you, for example when you’re unsure about committing to training, recovery or a lifestyle change.

What to expect

Working together is collaborative. We agree goals, choose strategies that suit you, and review progress as we go. I aim to support performance while taking the whole person into account, including your wellbeing, motivations and life beyond sport.
