For Climbing Parents
There’s nothing more fulfilling than watching your child conquer new heights in climbing. As climbing parents, we understand the unique challenges and joys that come with nurturing our children in climbing. That's why we're here to help you become better climbing parents by equipping you with powerful psychological tools tailored to support your kids.
Have you ever struggled with managing your own fears or anxieties as well as expectations while supporting your child's climbing aspirations?
Have you found it difficult to strike a balance between pushing your child to excel and respecting their boundaries and limitations?
Do you worry about how to handle setbacks or failures in your child's climbing journey?
Have you experienced challenges in effectively communicating with your child's climbing coaches or instructors?
Do you wonder how to foster a healthy sense of competition and camaraderie among your child and their climbing peers?
Climbing isn't just a sport – it's a lifestyle, a passion, and a journey that often involves the whole family, thereby significantly impacting family dynamics. As climbing parents ourselves and experts in the field from a psychological perspective, we understand the unique struggles you face. That's why we've created the Climbing Parents Circle, a supportive space and learning platform to connect climbing parents, share experiences, and gain valuable insights to navigate the challenges of raising a young climber.

What you won’t get
No fluff — just the good stuff. We only share the proven frameworks and tools that have a track record of results.
No quick fixes. (The mind is a complex infrastructure and doesn't rewire overnight). There are so many different mental aspects to learn about as a coach and becoming mentally stronger is an on-going journey – for both you as a coach and your athletes. This is the start to becoming more aware of what you can do, what impact you have and how to foster both your athletes’ performance, enjoyment and well-being in climbing.
Our circle is designed to empower you with insights into your child's climbing journey. However, true transformation occurs through application. We encourage you to reflect on your learnings and actively implement them into your daily interactions with your child, fostering their performance, enjoyment, and overall well-being in climbing.

What other Parents have said working with us:
“As a mother of two teenage athletes I highly recommend Climbing Psychology. Both Madeleine and Carina are not only very knowledgeable and experienced psychologists but also truly lovely people. My sons are benefiting a lot from the one on one coaching they do with Carina. Mental training is just as important as any other aspect in an athlete‘s career und finding a psychologist who is not only good at their job but also knowledgeable in the world of climbing is incredibly helpful and beneficial.”
"Working with Climbing Psychology has been incredibly valuable for me as a sports parent. The insights and strategies I've gained have greatly improved my ability to support our child and have strengthened our relationship. Watching our kid benefit from Climbing Psychology's guidance has been invaluable for our entire family."
"I realized how my words and actions affected my son. By focusing on his effort and progress rather than just results, our relationship improved, and he started enjoying climbing again. Thanks, Climbing Psychology, for your support!"
