PUBLIC SPEAKING
Addressing the triggers for the fear and neutralising these lets your unconscious mind know you are not under threat, even with all eyes on you. Then you are free to develop confidence and presence as a speaker.
SOCIAL ANXIETY
Socialising and other activities that mean interacting with others may be fraught with anxiety for you leading to discomfort or avoidance. We deal with the root causes so you can gain the social confidence to be with others.
STRESS
Stress means being overwhelmed by the demands placed on us. Triggers for stress vary from person to person. When we deal with yours, you can experience greater composure when faced with former stressors.
3 STEPS TO GETTING STARTED
1. LET’S TALK
Book a phone call and we’ll talk through what you want to work on. Alternatively, fill in my contact form and I’ll get back to you.
2. COMPLETE MY INTAKE FORM
Once we’ve spoken and we decide to work together, I’ll send you my intake form. This gives me more information to develop your treatment plan.
3. BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT
Look forward to getting started. Once I have your form back, we’ll book a day and time that suits you.

EASY SPEAKING
A 30-day programme to lead you away from fear around public speaking to speaking confidence and help you identify and embrace your public speaking identity. It combines one-to-one sessions with self-hypnosis recordings and written materials.

FAQ

This is a very common question and one that is difficult to answer with complete accuracy as each person is unique; no two people experience anxiety in the same way and no two people experience fear of public speaking in the same way. My experience however shows that most issues can be resolved within two to four sessions but sometimes one or two more may be needed.
The therapies I do are known as brief therapies; you are meant to experience changes relatively quickly.
I will generally give you something to do between sessions to speed things along and bed down the work we have done in the session. This might be a task we have agreed on, some self-hypnosis or something similar. These things will only take up a small amount of your time, and committing to doing them will be well worth it.
Stop smoking is the exception to this. Most people respond best to a single session and my approach (and that of most therapists) is set up that way. The pre-session exercise I give you to do prepares you to maximise the effects of the therapy session. If needed, you can take a free follow-up session within 3 months of the original session.

As a therapist, I am bound by codes of conduct which include total confidentiality from the moment we speak on the phone to the information you give me on your initial consultation form to all that is said in the sessions. Where you see people’s names attached to testimonials on my site, these people have given their permission to use them.

When you make contact with me, we will first of all have a short phone conversation so I can be sure I can help you. There is no obligation here and it is an opportunity for you to decide whether or not you think you will feel comfortable working with me.
Then I’ll send you my consultation form to complete which you should do to the best of your ability because this gives me lots of information to get a really good picture of what’s going on and where I need to focus the work.
Then we can book your first appointment or in the case of smoking, your single session. The sessions will last approximately 75 minutes (2 hours in the case of smoking) and I have a very comfortable room. By the time you come to see me, I will have a good idea of where to get started with your therapy. I’ll explain anything you need to know and you can ask me any questions you want. You’ll leave that first session feeling that you are getting going on resolving your issue.
