Introducing our Clinical Psychology Wraparound Service, bringing clinical psychology alongside your existing support team. 💡

We help organisations gain greater clarity around complex cases, make more confident decisions and build safer pathways with integrated support.

In high-performance environments, people are often expected to cope, adapt and perform, even when things feel pressured, complex or uncertain.

At Changing Minds, we believe wellbeing and performance are deeply connected. When people feel understood and supported, they are better placed to Perform Well.

For organisations that already have Sport Psychologists, wellbeing practitioners or performance lifestyle support in place, our Clinical Psychology Wraparound Service can add an additional layer of clinical thinking, and impactful care:

➡ Consultation on mental health strategy and wellbeing processes: strengthening referral pathways, clarifying responsibilities and helping organisations respond to mental health concerns and risk with greater confidence and consistency.

➡ Support with complex psychological needs or challenging situations: helping teams understand what may sit beneath behaviour, distress or performance difficulties, agree a shared formulation and make more informed, consistent and proportionate decisions.

➡ One-to-one psychological support: providing timely clinical input for individuals navigating adversity, transition or pressure, with support matched to their needs and coordinated with the wider system.

➡ Supervision for psychology and wellbeing practitioners: offering a safe space to reflect on complex work, strengthen ethical and clinically informed practice, develop practitioner skill and confidence, manage professional risk and sustain practitioner wellbeing.

➡ Workshops and staff education: building staff confidence to recognise and respond to psychological needs, with practical learning on developing young people, mental health, emotion regulation, attachment, relationships and supporting individual differences.

Our aim is to complement, not replace, existing provision. By wrapping clinical psychology around the support system, we help professionals hold complexity together, coordinate their response and create the conditions for people to perform well.

If this could support your organisation, we’d welcome an initial conversation. You can also find out more about our work at changingmindsuk.com. Please contact us at [email protected] or call us on 01925 483069.

All our Clinical Psychologists are HCPC-Registered and have worked in high-performance environments.

What does “good” wellbeing support look like in practice? 💭

A lot of wellbeing initiatives start with the best of intentions. But impactful wellbeing support is bigger than a one-off initiative or intervention.

In our experience, the most effective approaches are embedded within the culture of the organisation, shaped around the realities people face day to day, and connected to a broader long-term strategy.

When mental health support is needed, it’s important to ensure the professionals delivering that support have formally recognised training, work within appropriate regulatory frameworks, use evidence-based approaches, and have suitable supervision and governance structures in place.

And importantly, wellbeing support needs evaluation. Not as a tick-box exercise, but as part of taking wellbeing seriously.

Organisations benefit from understanding what support people are accessing, whether it’s helping, where gaps remain, and what impact it’s having both for individuals and across the wider system.

Without that insight, it becomes difficult to know whether wellbeing support is creating meaningful, lasting change or simply existing as another short-term initiative.

We're delighted to renew our agreement with Sheffield United Women. 🏆

Competing in the FA Women's Championship, Sheffield United Women have established themselves as an ambitious and progressive club, committed to developing talent and continuing the growth of the women's game.

Women's sport continues to raise the bar, and we're excited to play a role in supporting the people behind the performance.

Through this agreement, we'll be providing psychology and performance support to help players, coaches and staff develop, perform and thrive in high-pressure environments.

At Changing Minds, we believe sustainable high performance happens when wellbeing and performance are developed together.

We're excited to bring that approach to Sheffield United Women and support their ongoing ambitions on and off the pitch.

We’re proud to share that our Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Obss Alademerin, has recently published his research in BMJ Connections Mental Health. 📝

The study explores how Black British communities culturally recognise, cope with and respond to mental distress, identifying five interconnected themes:

• mental resilience, including emotional suppression, concealment of distress and coping in solitude

• faith in distress

• escapism through substances

• physical and creative release

• peer support

One of the important reflections from the research is that distress is not always understood, expressed or responded to in the same way.

Culture, identity, community and lived experience can all influence how someone makes sense of what they are feeling, whether they speak about it and where they turn for support.

There are important implications here for psychological practice in elite sport and high-performance environments too.

Athletes enter high-performance environments with a history, culture, community, identity and their own ways of understanding and responding to threat and distress. Understanding the cultural nuances behind the ways athletes might respond to distress is central to our ability to offer meaningful psychological support to individuals and systems.

Congratulations to Obss on an important contribution to this area of research.

Why a service approach to psychological support delivers for high-performance? 🎯

For many leaders, psychological support begins with an individual role or a single expert. That can help, but in our experience, high‑performing environments are rarely that simple.

A service-based approach looks at the whole performance system. It brings together different areas of expertise, established ways of working, and continuity over time, so support can flex to meet changing needs across athletes, staff, and leadership teams.

The result is a more connected approach to performance, wellbeing and what matters most to the performance system.

Leaders have access to the right expertise at the right time. Teams benefit from shared insight and collective experience. Organisations gain support that can evolve alongside their ambitions.

For us, it’s about providing the right support, when it’s needed, in a way that creates consistency, clarity, and confidence for the people you lead.

Interested in what that could look like in your organisation? Let’s chat ⤵️

Very proud our own Dr Alex Turner, who kicked off this year's Postgraduate Research Conference at Department of Sport Science at Prifysgol Bangor University with a talk on the value of bringing yourself into your work. 💼

It's a question we come back to a lot: how much of "you" shows up in what you do, and what happens when there's a gap between the two?

Well done also to the conference award winners, Taylor Williams, Nia Williams and Freya Losvik, and thanks to everyone involved in putting the day together.
