Public Speaking Anxiety
Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking – With or Without Hypnotherapy
Fear of public speaking is a common yet debilitating challenge, affecting even experienced professionals. Whether you’ve been presenting for years or are just starting out, nerves can suddenly take over, disrupting your flow and confidence. While feeling nervous is a natural response, excessive fear can hold you back from delivering your best performance.
Why Does Public Speaking Anxiety Happen?
When faced with an audience, your body triggers the fight-or-flight response, a survival mechanism that can cause:
- Butterflies in the stomach
- Sweaty palms & shortness of breath
- Racing heart (palpitations)
- Freezing or mental blocks
Your mind may also start predicting failure, reinforcing the stress response and making you want to avoid the situation altogether. While adrenaline is essential for staying focused and alert, too much can cause panic, loss of control, and overwhelming anxiety.
How I Can Help You Speak with Confidence
Together, we will develop a personalised strategy to help you retrain your mind and body so you feel more in control when speaking in public. Our approach includes:
Psychological & physiological techniques to manage nerves
Socratic & solution-focused coaching for clarity and confidence
Easy-to-use tools to apply in real-life speaking situations
“I went to see Annette to overcome an anxiety issue related to public speaking and situations where I felt under stress. I felt the issue was stopping me from being as effective at work as I could be. What I got from the sessions is so much more however. Annette helped me to change my perception on a number of levels. With the work we did together I came to realise that I had developed some bad habits in terms of how I thought about certain things. I’ve always spent time and money on making sure I’m physically healthy, but never before had I done this for my mind. It’s been the best investment I could ever make. After just a few weeks of seeing her, I feel so much happier, less stressed, more in control, relaxed and confident. It’s touched every area of my life, not just work. Annette has equipped me with a great toolkit for understanding and coping with public speaking anxiety, so much so that I’ve signed up to speak at a conference in the near future! I can’t recommend Annette’s work highly enough. If you’re unsure whether to get in touch with her, I would say it’s likely to be the best investment you could make and you’re worth it – get in touch with her! I wish I had done it years ago.”
While hypnotherapy is an option, you can also choose to have an entire session without hypnosis if that feels more comfortable for you. In a non-hypnosis session, we focus on practical strategies, mental techniques, and exercises to help you overcome fear and perform with confidence.
For those who choose to include hypnotherapy, sessions end with a relaxing and empowering hypnosis experience, where you enter a calm, focused state. During hypnosis:
- Your brain absorbs positive suggestions
- You visualise successful speaking experiences
- Your mind shifts into a solution-focused, confident state
Whether you opt for a session with or without hypnosis, you’ll receive practical, effective tools to help you manage anxiety and speak with confidence.
Real Results from Professionals Like You
I’ve worked with lawyers, account managers, established actors, and other professionals who once struggled with performance anxiety. With the right techniques, they’ve learned to speak with clarity, confidence, and composure – and you can too.
