Sophie Adickes
M.A. Psychology, M.M. Vocal Performance
Hi I’m Sophie, a performer turned mental performance coach who helps other artists and high achievers use psychology to address performance anxiety, manage stress, and build self-confidence.
Being a trained performer myself, I understand the industry pressures that come with a career in the arts AND how it affects the mind/body relationship.
I use my background in psychology, physiology, and performance to holistically address the mental side of high performance. Whether you’re looking to return to performing after a hiatus, rediscover your love for performing, or simply want to level up your mental skills, we’ll work together to unlock your potential.
Manage stress.
Build confidence.
become resilient.

Performance Coaching for Actors, Singers & Creatives
Stop “faking it til you make it” and finally, craft a game plan for addressing stage fright, impostor syndrome, comparison, focus onstage, and overall confidence. My goal is to equip you with the support & tools needed to become resilient to career pressures, feel confident in your identity as an artist, and reconnect to your love of performing.

As an entrepreneur, you are constantly on the clock, juggling multiple roles, building a personal brand, and trying to perform at your best… but let’s face it— it’s exhausting. It’s time to craft a life that truly aligns with your goals and values. My goal is to help you establish the routines, systems, and tools that will beat burnout, manage stress, increase your self-confidence, and improve your overall well-being so you can access peak performance without sacrificing your mental health.

Frequently asked questions
-
I work with artists & entrepreneurs who experience chronic stress during social situations, public speaking, professional performance, or working in a high-stress environment. These situations often lead to blurred boundaries, burnout, and weakened self-confidence. Chronic stress stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and leaves us struggling in the fight-or-flight state. My coaching helps to teach various somatic and cognitive techniques designed to increase self-awareness and feelings of control. I aim to build confidence while mitigating stress symptoms for a holistic approach.

Nope. While therapy often centers treatment around a diagnosis, there will be no labels in this environment. Typically, therapists work with clients on addressing the "whys" behind current distress, often investigating past traumas. Stress-relief coaching addresses the problems in the here and now. My background in psychology informs my coaching style, teaching research-backed techniques that you can implement now. In a session, we will work together to identify and address negative thought patterns and develop a plan so that you can. My work is focused on skills building and problem solving for the present, not the past.

My goal is to be a positive support system and provide you with tools and techniques that will outlast our time together.
All of my clients begin with twelve sessions over a six-month period to establish a solid foundation. It gives us plenty of time to build self-awareness and create, test, and fine-tune your personalized tools library.
From there, I offer a monthly coaching subscription to continue checking in and providing support and accountability as you continue your career. Creating lasting change is a process that looks different for everyone, but I'm here to provide accountability and encouragement for as long or short as you need me
