My name is Philippa Dunn and I founded The Competitive Edge in 2025. I am a Sport and Exercise Psychologist in Training (SEPiT) with the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES) working under the supervision of Dr Denise Hill.

I have a professional background in data analysis and marketing before completing a BSc in Psychology and Counselling with The Open University and a MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology at UWE.

My sporting background includes county level hockey, competitive football, cricket, rugby union and golf, while enjoying social tennis, badminton, padel, running, cycling, paddleboarding and swimming.

As a passionate sport afficionado, I understand the importance of the small fine margins with can provide athletes, teams and organisations with a competitive edge to their competitors. I whole-heartedly believe sport psychology can do this for you.

I look forward to working with both elite and amateur athletes of all ages to collaboratively overcome individual or team barriers to success, and implement effective strategy allowing you to reach your performance goals.

I adopt a humanistic philosophy understanding you are the expert of your lived experiences and through a working alliance I am motivated to achieve your desired results.
