Our Guiding Principles

1. Confidentiality Builds Confidence

2. The Whole Player Matters

3. Growth Over Perfection

We believe players perform best when they feel safe to speak openly. That’s why every session at Guidance Football Ltd is rooted in discretion, privacy, and trust. What’s said in the room stays in the room — unless there’s serious risk of harm. This space is yours.

You’re more than a footballer — and your wellbeing off the pitch affects how you show up on it. We take an integrative approach that supports your mindset, emotions, identity, and goals. From injury to pressure to life beyond football, we’re here for all of it.

You don’t need to be broken to ask for support. We believe in proactive care — building tools for resilience, performance, and long-term growth. Progress isn’t about fixing flaws, it’s about becoming more aware, more grounded, and more in control of your game and your life.
