Welcome to Renwick Psychology!
Entrepreneurial Experience
In addition to my work in psychology, I have first-hand experience as an entrepreneur. One of the highlights of my business journey was appearing on the BBC's Dragons' Den, where I pitched a business idea based on a book I had written.
Standing in front of successful investors and presenting a business concept under intense scrutiny was both a challenging and rewarding experience. It required preparation, confidence, adaptability, and the ability to communicate clearly under pressure—qualities that are equally important in business, leadership, and high-performance environments.
The experience provided valuable insights into entrepreneurship, innovation, decision-making, and resilience. It reinforced the importance of staying focused on long-term goals, learning from feedback, and maintaining confidence when facing uncertainty.
As both a psychologist and entrepreneur, I understand the realities of building projects, taking risks, managing setbacks, and pursuing ambitious goals. This combination of psychological expertise and real-world business experience enables me to support individuals, leaders, and organisations in developing the mindset and skills needed to perform at their best.
Whether working with business leaders, teams, or aspiring entrepreneurs, I bring a practical understanding of the psychological demands associated with growth, performance, and success.

Helping Businesses Perform Under Pressure
For many years, I have worked with athletes, coaches, and performers to help them achieve consistent high-level performance in demanding environments. While the setting may be different, the psychological challenges faced by business leaders and teams are often remarkably similar. Elite athletes must manage pressure, maintain focus, recover from setbacks, adapt to changing circumstances, and perform when the stakes are highest. The same principles apply in modern organisations, where leaders and employees face increasing demands, uncertainty, competition, and rapid change.
Drawing on evidence-based approaches from sport psychology, I help businesses develop the psychological skills required for sustainable performance and wellbeing. This includes improving focus and concentration, strengthening resilience, managing stress, building confidence, enhancing communication, and maintaining performance under pressure.
My approach is practical and results-focused. Rather than relying solely on motivation, I help individuals and teams develop the habits, mindsets, and psychological flexibility needed to thrive in challenging situations.
Areas of support include:
- Leadership development
- Performance under pressure
- Resilience and mental toughness
- Stress management and wellbeing
- Team cohesion and communication
- Confidence and self-belief
- Goal setting and accountability
- Psychological flexibility and adaptability
- Change management
- Sustainable high performance
Whether supporting senior leaders, management teams, or entire organisations, my goal is to help people perform at their best while maintaining their wellbeing and long-term effectiveness.
The principles that help athletes succeed at the highest level can also help businesses create healthier, more resilient, and higher-performing workplaces.
