Meghan Ingstrup, R.Psych
SHE/HER
Meghan believes that sport and performance skills can be used to improve performance and quality of life more broadly. She is passionate about providing support through life's challenges and transitions. Meghan is the person to talk to you when you’re faced with big decisions and major consequences such as making a change in relationships (e.g., getting married, growing your family) or work, retiring from sport, or when you’ve reached a next level and want to nail it right out of the gate.
Her clinical approach is tailored to meet individual needs, and she works collaboratively through every step of the process. She has worked with competitive athletes from recreational to national levels, students, musicians, performers, and professionals in demanding work environments. One of her favourite professional activities is meeting with groups for guided conversations to eliminate barriers to team goal achievement.
Meghan has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master's degree in Sport Psychology, and a Master's in Counselling Psychology. She is a published sport science researcher and draws from her research, consulting, and clinical skills to provide the highest levels of empirically supported care in her counselling work.
Meghan is the performance psychologist for you if:
Adjusting to a life change - promotion, marriage, divorce, parenthood, retirement, beginning university or having recently graduated.
Your emotions are getting in the way of your success (e.g., choking during pivotal moments, performance anxiety is undermining your ability to execute).
You’re looking to enhance your mental skills to increase success.
Meghan is available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for in person or online appointments and is currently accepting new clients.

HE/HIM
Achieving our goals and finding the experience empty or unfulfilling feels incredibly defeating. And it’s something that be addressed.
Jeff helps his clients bring the best parts of themselves to the forefront. His clients get unstuck through improved clarity, the development of skills related to focus and mental performance, and by increased awareness of when their values are aligned with their actions or not. Jeff will work with you to get to the root of what you care about most and how to overcome the hurdles that present themselves along the way to achieving that using concrete strategies and evidence informed approaches.
Jeff’s methods combine a decade of experience as an NSCA Certified Athletic Therapist and Conditioning Coach along with his experience as a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces Primary Reserve. His training also includes a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (2022) and a Bachelor of Health and Physical Education (2020). Jeff translates this experience into a no-nonsense approach that helps his clients achieve their goals and get unstuck.
Jeff is the performance psychologist for you if:
a behaviour is interfering with your ability to success (e.g., substance use, emotional outbursts).
you want concrete strategies for tackling a specific issue.
events or trauma from your past are impacting you in daily life.
Jeff is available for online appointments by request and is currently accepting new clients.
Erin Zelinski, R.Psych
SHE/HER
We train our bodies and skills so we can succeed. Most of us don’t extend that same effort toward mental performance or our relationships.
Tapping into your strengths is central to Erin’s approach. Erin will provide stability and safety as we combine new tools with what is currently working for you. She will support you in processing challenges and finding space for movement so you can progress with purpose and intent. As an athlete who experienced burnout, but eventually rediscovered her love of sport, she gets how hard it can be to work consistently toward a goal and overcome the obstacles that stand in our way.
While Erin specializes in working with athletes, her services can help us all to show up as we want to in any environment. Erin works with all of her clients to focus on what really matters so we can harness inner resources and thrive.
Erin’s approach combines her experiences growing up as a speed swimmer in Saskatchewan with extensive formal training. This training includes a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Psychosocial Oncology (2018), PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience (2016), Masters of Science (2011) and Counselling (2020), and a Bachelor of Science (2007).
Erin has spent years studying how our brains process information to construct our experiences and how these processes inform our physical and emotional wellbeing. She has published many articles in scientific journals and presented her research at dozens of international conferences.
Erin translates this training and experience into evidence based, individually tailored approaches to help you achieve your goals.
Erin is the performance psychologist for you if:
you want to do better
you’re feeling blocked
you’re struggling with motivation or achieving your goals
Erin is available for online appointments Monday - Thursday and will be conducting her next round of intakes in March 2025.
