Most people know exercise is good for them, but actually doing it is less easy. Made Up to Move offers friendly, affordable psychology services to help people develop a healthy relationship with exercise, physical activity and related health behaviours.
A healthy relationship with exercise and physical activity
If this feels a world away for you right now, don’t worry. Many people’s relationships with exercise have come from years of avoidance, difficult experiences, or external pressures – which might even go back to your school days. So it may not be realistic for that to change overnight. But with the right support and opportunity, I really do believe anyone can enjoy exercise and physical activity.
Check out the inspiring stories page for examples of people who have found their love for movement.
I'm a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and a Registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council. Having worked full-time as a lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University since 2012, I recently made the decision to become part-time so I could pursue my passion for helping others lead physically active lives.
My aim is to help people:
- overcome exercise-related barriers
- develop strategies for staying active in the long-term
- feel good about themselves and find enjoyment in physical activity
I offer 1-to-1 exercise psychology support via Zoom, "walk and talk" or face-to-face. Please click the link below for further information and prices.
I can offer workshops, webinars or consultancy to suit your organisation's needs (for either staff, clients or both). Please get in touch for an informal discussion or to refer clients for 1-to-1 support (referred clients receive 30% discount).
