What is a fear of public speaking? In various surveys, the fear of public speaking is often ranked as the number one fear. Surprisingly many people will rank the fear of public speaking much higher than the fear of dying. The fear of public speaking can also sometimes be referred to as public speaking phobia, public speaking fear, public speaking anxiety, presentation anxiety, performance anxiety, and stage fright. Someone experiencing public speaking anxiety is feeling the effects of the 'fight or flight' response. The fight or flight response is our mind and bodies natural response to a perceived threat. The perceived threat itself may be physical or psychological in nature. (e.g. making a scene, looking foolish, not being liked or accepted, appearing weak, potential physical harm etc.)
It is important to realise that all anxiety including public speaking anxiety starts with our thoughts, and it is our brain that then stimulates the release of the various stress hormones. It is the negative thoughts we have about what is happening in the world around us, or other people, or our own bodily sensations, or even our own thoughts that will start the anxiety response within our body. In some ways our minds and bodies can't tell the difference between the thoughts about a situation and the situation itself. Therefore by simply thinking negatively, worrying, or 'what if'-ing about an upcoming presentation, speech or performance, you are activating the fight or flight response in exactly the same way as if you were actually experiencing it in reality. Due to the way anxiety functions, you simply cant fight it head on. You've probably tried that already and failed. In fact the more you fight and try to control the anxiety, the worse it gets! Could you imagine just how useful it would be for you to learn new and different ways to think and react so that your fears just faded away and no longer seemed a problem?

The Public Speaking and Performance Anxiety Treatment The treatment is available at both the Harley Street and Manchester practices and is custom made for your unique personal requirements, so the exact form of treatment and number of sessions will vary from person to person depending on your needs, the severity of the problem, and any other complicating factors. Most people will usually see significant improvements in as little as 6 to 8 sessions, for more deep rooted or complex problems, more may be required. The treatment process itself is pro-active, relaxed, sensitive, respectful, confidential and non-judgemental.

My Own
Research:
I am a professional fully qualified and experienced Advanced Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, Life Coach and a Licensed NLP Master Practitioner. I integrate all my skills and experience to produce a treatment that is tailored to your unique needs. So that together we can work to help you to change in the quickest and easiest ways possible. When you are committed to making the inner changes you need to control your public speaking fears or performance anxiety, simply phone me on 0207 183 4548 or to make an appointment now. (See the consultation fees page for prices and discounts.) What this treatment is not: The treatment is not a list of 'quick-fixes', or tips about public speaking. Nor is the treatment a magical miracle secret technique that can be applied in seconds that will somehow magically cure anyone of a lifetimes worth of anxiety without any effort. You can find those sorts of unrealistic hyped up products and information on a hundred other websites, and may even have wasted good time and money on them without any real or lasting success. In those cases the old adage holds true 'If something seems to good to be true then it probably is.' Sometimes you've just got to realise that in reality there are no instant fixes or magical cures, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can't change, or that change is hard or takes a long time. All that is really required to change, is a little bit of committment to your own personal growth, taking ownership of the problem, some helpful and realistic guidance, and putting in some effort for a few weeks. Do that and you get to feel better for the rest of your life. When considering the rest of your life, what value do you place on your well-being? When
you are committed to making the inner changes you need to
control your anxiety, simply phone me on 0207 183 4548 or
to make an appointment now. Booking is easy NOTE: Before booking it is very important that you get any physical symptoms diagnosed by a medical practitioner or doctor to rule out any physical causes. I recommend booking an Initial Consultation first. This gives us the chance to begin to explore your issues and your requirements further, give you honest answers to any questions you might have and give you a realistic estimate of the number of sessions you may require. When you are ready to make the inner changes you need, simply phone me on 0207 183 4548 or to make an appointment now. I practice both from a clinic on Harley Street, London, and from a consulting room in my home in Chorlton in South Manchester. Please
feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
