About Us
Waves is a contemporary consulting firm specializing in the best evidence-based psychological training and support.
We are driven by the passion to help individuals to enhance their performance, well-being, and lives with psychology.
We think that much like the ebb and flow of ocean waves, our lives, performances, thoughts, and feelings often follow a continuous up-and-down rhythm.
At Waves, our mission is to extend these waves, fostering a state of robust resilience in the face of life's challenges through sport psychology consulting services.
In short, we provide person-oriented psychological support to elite athletes and those who aspire to reach the elite level, as well as to their organizations.
Beginning
Waves came into being in the spring of 2022 with a mission to make sport and performance psychology services more accessible to all.
Our initial focus is on psychological skills training and support, but we have future plans to expand into providing holistic psychological support for athletes and other people in the high-performance environments.
When considering sports psychology services we focus on quality over quantity. We are dedicated to offer only the highest quality services, ensuring that each service is thoroughly thought and designed before being made available to our clients.
Philosophy
Waves is based on a strong ethical and person-centered value base. We want to bring sport psychology into everyday practice and make it as accessible as possible for everyone.
Waves aims to lower two common barriers to this – financial costs and awareness – and thus enable more athletes and sports organizations to receive quality psychological support.
Waves' consultants have extensive training and experience in both sports and psychology, which means that the quality of services remains excellent despite the lower price level.
Waves is committed to ensuring the well-being of customers in accordance with national and international regulations.
Waves operates according to the ethical guidelines of the European Sports Psychology Association (FEPSAC).
Approach
Recognizing that athletes are not defined only by their athletic roles, but are people with diverse lives, our approach combines skill development with psychological support, utilizing a cognitive-behavioral approach, which we complement with a humanistic, or person-centered, approach.
The cognitive-behavioral approach is based on the idea that an individual's thoughts influence their feelings, which in turn influence their behavior. By changing thought patterns, we can bring about changes in emotional and behavioral reactions.
A humanistic approach in psychology puts the client at the center of the process and recognizes their individual situation. This is based on the assumption that every individual has free will and internal motivation to develop themselves and their environment.
Take Control of Your Waves
The deep, blue ocean with its waves can be a dangerous place and a huge challenge, but also holds the potential for happiness and calm.
Because of this, the ocean and its waves can be thought of as an excellent metaphor for our lives with its challenges and adversity, but with the same underlying potential for calm and happiness if we learn to work with it.
Who we are.
We are a new, growing company that is committed to serving you as an individual.
