WHAT I DO

Hi I’m Charlotte, I’m a freelance equestrian coach specialising in rider mental performance. I live in North Wiltshire with my husband, daughter, two dogs and my horse Jiffy.

I left school at 16 to pursue my passion and begin my career in the equine industry. I started as a working pupil at a local riding school working to obtain my BHS instructor qualifications. This was the start of an extremely enjoyable and rewarding career in coaching that has spanned more than 25 years.

 Through my work as an equestrian coach, I began to notice what a huge impact a rider’s psychology had on their performance. This led me to the decision to study NLP (Neurolinguistic programming) and become an NLP Practitioner with Inspire 360 completing the qualification in 2017.

My interest in rider psychology continued and in 2018 I enrolled on the Centre 10 Applied Psychology for Equestrian Coaches programme to become a Centre 10 Advanced Coach. This course had such an impact on me I decided to study for a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. Whilst studying for my psychology degree I also completed my training to become a  NLP Master Practitioner with UKCPD . I completed my BSc in psychology in  2023 with first class honors. After the completion of my degree I decided to continue my learning journey, this time at post-graduate level and  in 2024 I completed a masters in sports and exercise psychology at UWE.  2025 brings fresh challenges with the beginning of 3 years of supervised practice to complete my qualification to become a registered sports and exercise psychologist.
