Jay-Lee Nair

Dr Jay-Lee’s energy as a professional is contagious. Her passion and confidence with helping High Achievers is modestly paralleled by her own exceptional personal achievements. Her gift with propelling performance for others as a Psychologist, can be attributed to a great many years of experience and hard work, and has positioned her as a highly sought-after consultant in Singapore.

Both Jay-Lee’s Masters and Doctorate degrees focused on The Study of Perfectionism in Sport. Her work with perfectionistic-striving High Achievers, has lead to effective strategies for adapting and developing habits that lead to thriving high performance, but without the weight of self-pressure and self-criticism.

Originally from Australia, Jay-Lee completed her first two degrees in Psychology in the United States, while accepting an Athletic Scholarship to play NCAA Div-1 Collegiate Golf. She finished with All-American academic honours, and attributes her career as a Sport and Performance Psychologist, to the success found in both studies and sport.

She doesn’t just work with athletes. Jay-Lee loves to work with Corporate Champions looking to raise the bar. Most recently, she conducts weekly individual sessions at company headquarters for sales teams looking to build the ‘mental edge’. As well as designing online performance coaching modules for the Intercontinental Hotel Group, for their new Rise Program, for female talent in management positions.

In her daily practice, Jay-Lee works with young student-athletes experiencing performance anxiety; helps corporate champions re-fine their performance process; and consults with Elite Athletes across Asia. These include professional golfers on the Asian Tour, Thailand’s top swimmers in preparation for Asian Games, and previously, the Singapore Sailing Team for the 2016 Rio Olympic games.

The focus is always to help, and more often than not, it’s to help High Achievers raise their standard of performance.
