Performance Edge Psychology

Performance Edge Psychology Carolyn Anderson Director - Performance and Wellbeing Psychologist I am not offering psychological advice on this page.

I am a Melbourne based psychologist and former Olympian and I founded Performance Edge Psychology at the beginning of 2016. I am passionate about delivering high quality psychological therapy to our clients in our busy private practice based in Doncaster as well as developing and presenting workshops and seminars on mental health, happiness and well being issues to athletes, sporting organisations, schools and the corporate sector. Performance Edge Psychology delivers a cutting edge, evidence-based and practical approach to managing and developing healthy, committed and productive people. Our wellbeing and mindfulness programs use powerful psychological tools to make positive changes to reduce stress, self doubt, poor decision making, loss of focus, lack of direction and anxiety. These scientifically researched techniques can lead to increased happiness and resilience, build a sense of gratitude in life, help learn to be in the moment, make appropriate decisions, increase focus and value lead sense of purpose. Furthermore, the program helps build a sense of connection, empathy, communication and compassion. There are a lot of resilience and wellbeing programs out there receiving a great deal of attention. However, many are simply teaching what resilience and mental health are rather then teaching actual skills. Some of these projects are not run or developed by people with any qualifications, training or experience in either mental health or psychology! The Mindful Edge is the only program based on proven scientific research and is developed and delivered by a registered and qualified psychologist who has had over 15 years of clinical experience. The purpose of this page is to share promote upcoming psychology events that I and/or others are running as well as posting interesting psychological information. We are bombarded with an abundance of articles, advice and self help information on the internet but how do we know what is evidence based, relevant and psychologically sound? My aim is to try and sort through some of this and work out what is worth your time to read and what we may as well ignore. If you do require mental health assistance please contact your GP or local area mental health service.

The Real Nature of Grit: It’s Not About Toughing It OutWhen people talk about grit, they often picture sheer determination, pushing through no matter what, and refusing to quit. It’s the “never give up” mantra we see in movies and motivational posters. While that’s a nice story, real grit ...
