Chantelle was excellent and offered a great service
Rachel Laxton
We have worked with Chantal and The Confidence Effect for 4 years supporting elite athletes who are on their British Athletics, England Hockey, British Weightlifting, and England Netball performance pathways. Chantal is exceptionally professional in her approach. She very quickly builds a great rapport with people which enables her to support them to identify areas they would like to develop and then help them to implement and evaluate different mental skills and interventions to help their performance. I could not recommend her highly enough. More...
Professional Footballer and Captain of Leicester City Women’s Football Club First Team
Working with Chantal was a fantastic way to reignite my enjoyment and passion for the game, whilst also helping me to deal with a consuming amount of doubt and lack of confidence in my game. Chantal not only made me feel comfortable and free in acknowledging and answering difficult questions as to why I was struggling within the sport, but she made me want to engage in such conversations through her calm and genuine approach. Chantal most definitely helped and supported me in navigating my way through the ups and downs of being in a relentless and competitive environment. Chantal would always be the first person I would professionally go to! More...

Chantal at The Confidence Effect helped my game so much. She was very professional, relatable, supportive and totally understood the game from a player’s perspective, and I enjoyed working with her a lot. I’m using her advice on improving my confidence and professional skills every day and it has really helped my performance on and off court. Thank you so much! More...
