We highly recommend Emily to anyone seeking thoughtful and effective wellbeing advice and support.”

“Emily Baird has been an invaluable source of support for our elite netballers, providing practical and compassionate guidance when they face challenging times or need additional strategies to navigate the pressures of high performance netball and life beyond the court.

Emily is approachable, relatable and has a natural ability to build strong, trusted connections with our players. Her genuine care, professionalism and understanding of the unique demands placed on elite netballers have made her a highly valued part of our player wellbeing support network.”

“Emily has a real understanding of teenage boys and a gift for turning theory into strategies we could use straight away. Our staff and conference audience came away energised. STRONG Inside gives young men the tools to understand themselves, and the adults around them a shared language to support them. Highly recommend.”

“As a mental skills coach, I know how much it matters to have the right people supporting an athlete. Emily Baird is someone I trust and confidently refer athletes to. Through her work at STRONG Inside, Emily combines professionalism with genuine care. She takes the time to understand the person behind the athlete and provides support that reflects their individual needs and the demands they face. I value her thoughtful approach and the confidence she gives people to seek help and move forward. I highly recommend Emily and the work she does through STRONG Inside.”

“I greatly value the genuine care and commitment to putting athletes first that Emily shows. Her willingness to listen, support and collaborate makes a real difference. Emily brings professionalism, compassion, and a people-first approach that positively impacts athletes and those working alongside them”

“High-quality psychologists who support performance and handle complex situations with sensitivity are hard to come by. Emily's skills, and her communication around our shared patients, are exceptional and highly valued. She is particularly good at identifying simple, practical strategies that people can use to improve their mental health and wellbeing, and she does so accurately and constructively.”

“Emily is the kind of thinker that can slice through the nonsense. The Bridge South Brighton Trust is forever in her debt when met with a social dilemma, her clear thinking, vast experience and straightforward approach cleared the air and navigated the way through the mess.”

“Emily helped me find the strength, insight and courage to make meaningful changes in my life. Through her compassion, honesty and guidance, I developed a deeper understanding of myself and healthier ways of thinking, communicating and relating to others.

She didn't do the work for me but helped me believe I could do it for myself. The work wasn't always easy, but it was worth it. The growth I have experienced has made a lasting difference in my relationships and how I approach life. For that, I will always be grateful.”

“We reached out for guidance with our neurodivergent daughter, and Emily gave us fresh, actionable ideas that actually worked for our family. She was brilliant at guiding us through difficult conversations as a neutral party. She even organized charity funding for our sessions which made the whole process as easy as possible. We can wholeheartedly recommend Emily to anyone needing extra support in their parenting journey”
