About The Good Psychologist

Learn to win when it matters most to you

Welcome to The Good Psychologist, the home of practical and accessible sport psychology courses to help you achieve your potential in golf.  I am Dr Paul McCarthy. I am the Director of The Good Psychologists. I have worked with golfers nationally and internationally over the past 25 years in addition to lecturing, researching, and writing refereed journal articles and books. As a chartered psychologist (BPS) and registered practitioner psychologist in sport and exercise psychology (HCPC), I have worked with athletes across all ages, levels and sports from junior athletes through to professionals in golf, soccer, Commonwealth and Olympic athletes. Most notably, the world-famous St Andrews Links Golf Academy in Scotland recognised my expertise and invited me to become the first sport psychologist in residence at the Old Course, St Andrews. I devote much of my private practice to players in premier league football and professional golf.
