A definition of Sport Psychology is that it “involves the application of psychological principles to research and practice in the context of sport” whereas Clinical Psychology “involves the application of psychology to a person’s or a community’s health” (British Psychological Society).

Clinical Psychologists have been described as “problem solvers”, formulating problems and questions in psychological terms and drawing creatively on a wealth of theories and techniques from the discipline of psychology to find ways forward. They work directly with complex problems involving individuals, couples, families, groups and service systems.
By combining these two disciplines Carole Seheult is able to provide a highly developed set of skills to help people involved in the world of sport and who may be experiencing mental, emotional, behavioural or interpersonal problems which may be having a negative impact upon their performance in sport.

Carole Seheult is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and a Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. As such she operates an independent (non-NHS) practice and adheres to the Code of Conduct and Guidelines for Professional Practice as set up by the Society.
