“To breakthrough your performance, you’ve got to breakthrough your psychology.”

Jensen Siaw

Performance Psychology is for those in the performing arts that wish to overcome performance anxiety, demanding pressures from auditions, expression of emotions, perfectionism, attention and concentration issues, motivation, and burnout. It is also for professionals in the corporate setting who want to find a comparative edge so that they can thrive in challenging and stressful environments.
