Thibault Aksoyek Master

Sports Psychologist & Clinical Psychologist | B2M Sport and Rehab

I am a sports psychologist, having graduated from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and a clinical psychologist, having graduated from the Université Libre de Bruxelles. My connection to elite sport is, above all, a personal one: having trained as a tennis player with the Walloon Tennis Federation, I went on to coach players competing at international level. Having suffered several serious injuries myself, I know what a long rehabilitation process entails — no longer being able to play, doubting whether you’ll ever return, and yet having to keep moving forward. It is also this experience that has led me to make supporting injured athletes a central part of my practice.

A practice rooted in the field

Since 2023, through my organisation NeuroSport, I have been supporting athletes from a variety of disciplines — tennis, golf, athletics, football and handball, amongst others — both in my practice and directly on the field, during training or in competition. For me, this on-the-ground work is essential: it allows me to observe the athlete in their real-life context, to intervene as closely as possible to the sport itself, and to ensure that the psychological support is immediately applicable.

I work as part of the multidisciplinary team at B2M Sport and Rehab, an ideal setting for this type of support: physiotherapy, sports medicine, physical training and psychological support all work together to support the athlete at every stage of their development or rehabilitation.

How I work

My approach is integrative: it combines tools drawn from clinical psychology, sports psychology and applied neuroscience, tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. In practical terms, sessions may focus on emotional management and stress regulation; working on arousal levels; sophrology and mindfulness as tools for recovery and refocusing; neurocognitive training to develop concentration, decision-making and resistance to interference; or biofeedback, a technology that enables the training of physiological regulation — heart rate, muscle tension, breathing — which are directly linked to performance. This work anchors mental preparation in the body and in practice, in a concrete and measurable way.

What we can work on together

In sports psychology, I support athletes across a wide range of areas: managing stress and competitive pressure, self-confidence and inner dialogue, concentration and performance routines, support during injuries and maintaining mental health whilst not training, returning to competition after an injury — to come back at 100 per cent, or even better than before — managing dual careers combining sport with studies and/or professional life, sporting transitions, the end of a career and career change, and the prevention and management of sports-related burnout.

My work with injured athletes goes beyond mere support: it involves maintaining their wellbeing whilst they are sidelined, but also ensuring they continue to make progress — mentally and cognitively — so that they approach their return with the best possible resources.

Beyond sport

My dual training also enables me to support people experiencing broader psychological difficulties — anxiety, chronic stress, relationship issues, life transitions, and difficult life events — whether they are athletes or not. The B2M framework offers a holistic care environment for this, where the psychological aspect is naturally integrated with the rest of the care provided.

I would be delighted to welcome you into a caring and supportive setting, so that together we can develop a support plan tailored to your needs.
