Silvolutions - Performance, Mindset & Wellbeing Helping riders calm nerves, build focus, and ride at their best whether it’s hacking after a spook or competing in the ring.
(1)

Solution-focused psychotherapy for equestrians who want confidence, calm, and control in the saddle. I work with riders to turn nerves into focus, fear into confidence, and hesitation into purpose. Using solution-focused psychotherapy and sports psychology I can help you:

• Stay calm under pressure
• Bounce back from mistakes quickly
• Build confidence you can feel in every stride

No jargon, no long sessions, just practical tools you can use immediately, in the saddle and beyond. Whether you’re competing, hacking, or just riding for fun, my goal is simple: help you enjoy your riding while performing at your best. Because it’s not about perfection — it’s about connection, confidence, and calm!!

✨ A quick favour to ask…

If you’ve worked with me in the past, whether through psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, mindset coaching, or one of my courses, I’d be really grateful if you could take a minute to leave a quick Google review.

Your feedback not only helps others feel confident about taking that first step, but it also means a lot to me personally to hear how the work we’ve done together has made a difference for you.

It only takes a minute and makes a huge difference to my small business ❤️

You can leave your review here:

Thank you so much for your support, it honestly means the world!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Testimonial Tuesday ⭐️⭐️⭐️

“What really stood out for me was Sean’s non-equestrian perspective, although he’s horsey he doesn’t think horsey! It made me think in ways I never had before, just completely outside the usual horse-world box! We worked a lot on letting go of my need to control everything, not just with my horse but in work and life too. To be honest, it was all about work and my personal life. We barely touched on how things were at the yard or how my riding was going. Once I started to relax and trust more, everything just started to fall into place. I’m happier, calmer, and have a much better life balance and funnily enough, that’s when the real progress in the saddle began. The difference has been amazing! Thank you, Sean! X”

This client came to me as they’d found themselves no longer enjoying riding anymore. It’d become a bit of a chore, and suddenly that once safe space that was the yard and their horse was no longer an opportunity to relax and unwind but had become a source of real frustration, disappointment and even anger. After quite a few virtual hugs, some tears, and the occasional swear word my client was able to really focus on what was important and what wasn’t important leading to a huge increase in mental capacity. The more capacity we have, the better life becomes as we manage all those challenges in such a different way. Those mountains very quickly become molehills!

Sometimes the universe (or in this case, a horse 😅) has a funny way of reminding you to slow down.
I was rushing around trying to get everything done, and Remi decided my hair towel needed to come off right now!
A gentle reminder that even when life feels busy, there’s always time to pause, laugh, and take a breath.

🌟 Client Story 🌟

Like so many clients who reach out, Sam was feeling overwhelmed and anxious due to all of the many responsibilities she had along with the associated pressures of life. The old “what ifs” along with “I should be better” etc.

We can’t always remove those responsibilities, but we can change how we view them… and that shift can reduce the pressure and put a genuine smile back on our faces again.

Here’s what Sam had to say about her journey:

“I first reached out to Sean last year when my anxiety had taken over my life, I couldn’t enjoy anything and felt like something dreadful was going to happen every day.
The thought of riding my wonderful horses filled me with dread.
I can remember asking him if he could fix me. He made me feel like I wasn’t crazy and taught me so many useful tools to be able to get my mind back under control.
I’m now back to feeling confident and in a content place.
He’s a great guy who doesn’t make you feel stupid about feeling how you do.
It didn’t happen overnight (nothing in life does!) — I had to put the work in too and trust the process, but looking back now I realise how bad I was. I’m just so grateful I stumbled across his post on Facebook. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone ☺️
Thank you Sean.”

💬 Seeing messages like this always reminds me why I do what I do. It’s never about “fixing” anyone, it’s about helping people find the tools, clarity and calm to feel like themselves again.

If I had a pound for every time a client says, “My horse just feels so much calmer now that I’m calmer,” I’d have enough to buy at least a posh coffee! 😂

It’s amazing how often the change we want to see in our horses starts with the change we make in ourselves.
Our energy, focus and emotional state all ripple straight down the rein. When we find calm, they find calm.

Self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s an essential strategy.
It’s about doing what keeps your mind steady and your body strong so you can show up as your best self, for work, for others, and for you.

For me, that means running (even when I don’t feel like it), time with my two labs, a good gym session, or switching off with a book. Those small things make a big difference.

Self-care isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being well enough to keep going.
When you look after yourself, everything else flows better: your energy, your focus, your patience, your perspective.

You can’t support others if you’re constantly running on empty.
So make self-care non-negotiable, it’s not selfish, it’s essential!!!

I really couldn’t be bothered to run today.
Not because I was tired. Not because I was sore. Not because I didn’t have time.
I just… didn’t feel like it. My mood was low, and the last thing I wanted to do was lace up and go.

But here’s the thing, I didn’t wait for my mood to change.
I changed my mood by taking action.

The run wasn’t about pace or distance. It was about doing something that I knew would shift how I felt.
And it did. Step by step, the fog lifted.

Don’t let your mood decide your actions, let your actions decide your mood!

PS. Choccy biscuits always taste better after a run! True fact!

⭐️⭐️ Testimonial Tuesdays ⭐️⭐️

Going forward this is going to be something I will try and remember to do every Tuesday. It’s an opportunity to share some words that my clients have said about me and to share a bit about their story so you can get a better feel for how I can help you overcome the various challenges that we all face on a daily basis.

So, Lizzie was recommended to me by an existing client as she had some equestrian related exams coming up and had previously experienced significant nerves and anxiety along with a lack of focus in the saddle during the exam. Together we were able to have a good chat about how the brain works, the science and biology that result in nerves and anxiety, which in turn led us to the plan which we could put in place so that Lizzie could overcome those nervous and anxious thoughts and in turn focus on the exam itself. A handful of sessions later, Lizzie went into her exam without those debilitating thoughts holding her back and was able to express herself to the best of her ability in the exam. 😊

✨ Calm start, calm ride ✨
Before you even put your foot in the stirrup, take three slow, deep breaths.
Your horse will feel the shift instantly, your calm becomes their calm.
Ground yourself first, and everything that follows flows more smoothly. 🐴
Away from the horsey world this is a great tip for when you’re getting ready to do anything that might have you feeling just a little uncomfortable or nervous.
It’s something I do at least a couple of times a week when I’ve forgotten to pop the water heater on and I’ve got minutes before I’m due to start a client session just after I’ve been for a run. 🚿🥶
