About Dr Dan Martin (Sport & Performance Psychologist)
Dr Dan Martin is our dedicated Sport and Performance Psychologist here at Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling. He specialises in optimising sports performance alongside well-being, for performers across a range of domain.
Using psychologically informed interventions grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dan helps individuals to improve their performance and psychological well-being.
With his experience and expertise, he understands the mental game behind peak performance and is passionate about helping individuals, from a range of different disciplines, to achieve their full potential.
Experienced Sports Psychologist
Alongside his Professional Doctorate in Sport and Exercise Psychology, Dan has worked as a Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychologist for the last four years.
In that time, he has worked with many different athletes, coaches, support staff, and performance directors in sport to support their psychological well-being, and performance.
In addition to providing 1-2-1 psychological services, Dan also works embedded in teams, having done so for a Paralympic National Governing Body – leading on the provision of psychological services for their national performance pathway.
As the mental skills needed to perform in sport are applicable to all endeavours that require performance, Dan has also worked with musicians to facilitate their use of mental skills during performance.
Background in Sports Psychology
Dan has always had a strong interest in sport and performance, and the psychology that underpins success in these domains. He takes great purpose in supporting those who wish to enhance the mental aspect of their performance, and believes that it is a privilege to support people on their journeys.
Extending from his passion for helping others with their performance, Dan also enjoys taking part in competitive sports.
No longer able to play contact sport due to head injuries, he now finds enjoyment in running (10k and Half Marathon distances) and enjoys ‘taking his own medicine’ whilst preparing for races.
