MENTAL WELLBEING & PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY
The PJA’s primary mental wellbeing contacts are Paul Struthers and Izzy Desailly, so jockeys are welcome to contact them or any other member of the PJA team. All calls will be treated in strictest confidence. They will organise for one of Sporting Chance’s trained counsellors to call the jockey and set them up with the individual support they need.
Alternatively, jockeys can call the helpline directly. The number is 07780 008877 and this is manned 24hrs a day. From 9.00am to 5.00pm it will be answered by Sporting Chance and outside of those hours the service is provided by Health Assured, where jockeys will be able to speak with a counsellor directly.
Clinical Psychologists are available at Oaksey House (01488 662246), Jack Berry House (01653 602090) and Peter O'Sullevan House (01638 676200) every week
For performance related matters, you can contact the PJA’s Performance Consultant Aodhagán Conlon. Aodhagán was previously a Jump jockey and is based in Gloucestershire but is available for telephone/skype consultations if you are unable to travel to meet him.
Tel: 07815 016900 or Email: aodhaganconlon@hotmail.com
