Dr. Thomas Buck’s passion for sport psychology began during his undergraduate studies, where he earned a BSc (Hons) in Sport Psychology. He went on to complete a Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology in 2013. Since then, Thomas has accumulated over 10 years of experience working with professional sports organisations and individual athletes across a wide range of disciplines.
His experience includes working within multidisciplinary teams dedicated to enhancing performance in elite environments. Thomas has supported senior first-team players and coaches from across the English Football League (League Two, League One, The Championship) and the English Premier League. He has also worked extensively within academy systems across these leagues, supporting athletes across the Foundation Phase (FP), Youth Development Phase (YDP), and Professional Development Phase (PDP).
In addition to football, Thomas has delivered one-to-one consultancy with both current and retired professional athletes in rugby, cricket, golf, and Olympic sports. His work in these high-performance, high-pressure environments has helped shape a practice grounded in real-world experience and focused on excellence, resilience, and continual improvement.
Thomas is currently completing the British Psychological Society’s Qualification in Sport and Exercise Psychology (QSEP Stage 2), working towards becoming a Chartered Sport Psychologist.
In 2022, Thomas completed a PhD exploring athlete mental health literacy and attitudes toward help-seeking among current and retired elite athletes. His research provided valuable insights into how high-performance cultures and mental health stigma influence athletes’ willingness to engage with support services. The study offered key recommendations for improving mental health literacy and enhancing professional support systems within sport.

For many clients, a single session is not sufficient to fully explore the range of topics they wish to address. Sport psychology typically requires multiple sessions to develop deeper self-awareness and implement strategies that positively influence performance and wellbeing. Therefore, the TB Sport Psychology Package offers 4x 55-minute sessions for a discounted rate.
Under Thomas’s guidance, these sessions build progressively from the initial consultation, allowing you to develop and apply tailored strategies over time in a structured and supportive environment.
If you are looking for a more comprehensive approach and wish to benefit from a discounted rate, the TB Sport Psychology Package is recommended.
Please note that full payment for the package is required prior to the first session.
