About Kate Chesser

Have you ever felt that the harder you practice, the worse you play? Or maybe you’ve come back from injury, fully recovered physically, but unable to reach your previous level of performance. Perhaps you've been on a great run, only to hit a wall of poor form you just can’t shake, or found yourself in a winning position yet struggled to close it out.

For many athletes, match-day nerves, dips in confidence, and self-doubt can appear out of nowhere, making it feel like an uphill battle to perform at your best. These are challenges that almost every competitor faces, from club players to professionals.. and I know them well, both from years of working with athletes and from my own journey.

I stated playing tennis at the age of 8 and just loved it. Playing sports came naturally, and I thrived on the competitive spirit. Then in 2005, life changed course: I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, which brought physical challenges that took me off the court and left me devastated. Yet, after 15 years of nt playing and thinking that I never would again, seeing wheelchair tennis played at Wimbledon reignited my passion. Although I quickly realised that returning to play wasn’t as simple as it once had been.

As I navigated the frustrations and setbacks, I realised that my mental game needed as much training as my physical skills. My degree in Psychology and PE, majoring in Sport Psychology suddenly became very useful! I added EFT, self-hypnosis, and other mental training techniques to regain my confidence, focus, and love for the game. The transformation was incredible.. not only was I playing again, but I was thriving, both on and off the court.

If I had known then, what I know now.. there is no way I would have missed out on playing the game I love for so long.  This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about making sure as many athletes as possible don't miss out on doing what they love, to the level they can because of the limiting beliefs they may have.

Today, I help athletes across many sports overcome the mental barriers that hold them back from peak performance. Using a unique framework incorporating hypnotherapy, EFT, and other mental training tools, I help athletes utilise the power of their mind to play  naturally and easily more often and with less effort.

Whether you're facing performance anxiety, recovering from an injury, dealing with the pressure or looking to break a frustrating cycle of poor form, my coaching provides the mental tools you need to break through this and play your game as you are meant to play.  Full of self belief, focus, composure and a resilience that is literally unbreakable.
