Since 1995, Clinton Gahwiler has run the psychology practice of the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA) in Newlands, Cape Town, South Africa. His main interests lie in the related fields of sport and health psychology. Clinton’s passion is helping clients to develop, implement and maintain strategies which optimize performance and well-being on a sustainable basis.
This has seen him consulting over the years to a wide range of health-related programmes, including in the stress management, weightloss and cardiac rehabilitation contexts. Within sport Clinton has worked with many of South Africa’s top athletes and teams to help them overcome mental blocks and to maximize their potential.
As guitarist and song-writer for SAMA-nominated SA band Macstanley (ex-Flat Stanley), he has had to apply both his health psychology knowledge (balancing family, work & music), and his sport psychology expertise (overcoming mental barriers, coping with performance nerves etc) in his own life.
