Sport Psychologist in London

Valentina Pierangeli sport psychologist

As a sport psychologist in London, I specialise in supporting athletes, gym-goers, and fitness professionals in achieving both physical and mental resilience. I hold an MSc in Sports and Exercise Psychology from Brunel University and am a registered Sports Psychologist with the HCPC. My expertise in sports psychology is complemented by my CrossFit Level 1 Trainer certification, giving me a deep understanding of the physical and psychological demands of training.

I am passionate about using movement as a tool for mental health support. Strength training and exercise can play a crucial role in trauma recovery, stress management, and emotional regulation. By combining sports psychology with mental health expertise, I help clients connect mind and body, fostering long-term well-being.

What led me to become a Sport Psychologist?

I provide mental health support to athletes, gym-goers, and people wanting to start exercising, dealing with anxiety, competition stress, injuries, burnout, self-doubts, and more. As a sport psychologist in London, I help clients develop mental strategies to enhance focus, confidence, mindset and motivation. My approach integrates evidence-based psychological techniques with practical performance coaching, empowering individuals to break through mental barriers and reach their full potential.

My work extends beyond individual sessions. I collaborate with CrossFit coaches, personal trainers, and sports teams to improve communication, athlete motivation, and mental well-being in training environments. I also assist gym owners and fitness communities in creating inclusive, supportive spaces that promote both mental and physical growth.

I also provide workshops and training programmes for fitness professionals and organisations looking to integrate psychological strategies into their coaching. Whether working with elite athletes or everyday gym-goers, my goal as a sport psychologist in London is to help individuals build mental resilience, overcome obstacles, and unlock their full potential.

In addition to my private work, I am the co-founder of Virtuoso Gang, a unique collaboration between a sport psychologist and a CrossFit coach in London, designed to provide holistic support for athletes, CrossFit coaches, and box owners.

At Virtuoso Gang, we focus on mental strength, emotional resilience, technique and high-performance. If you’re looking for comprehensive mental health support alongside physical coaching, visit Virtuoso Gang.
