Hypnosis for Public Speaking

Fear of Public Speaking is one of the most common fears that there is, however at some point in all of our lives we will all probably need to stand up and speak in front of others.  Whether it's at school, at University, at work, at a family function, wedding or funeral, public speaking somehow finds it's way  into our lives.
​
Often it's a fear of being judged negatively that is holding us back.  We fear that if we are less than perfect we will be criticised or thought less of. This can make us feel self-conscious and ironically self-critical, which then feeds back in to the loop of anxiety about public speaking.

How will Hypnotherapy help with Public Speaking?

Hypnotherapy taps into your imagination.  It's your imagination which is creating the fear and it is your imagination that will correct it.  
Using a combination of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and traditional Hypnosis techniques we can work together to help you create a different experience of public speaking for yourself, utilising all of your senses to make the experience vivid and authentic we will change the way you perceive public speaking events, removing the fearfulness and replacing it with calm.
Some people dont' believe they have imaginations, but of course we all do, for example if I ask you what colour your front door is or what your bedroom looks like you'll be able to describe it to me, and that's because your memory recreates an image or sense of it in your imagination for you to draw on, this is all that's required in Hypnotherapy.
It's normal to have some butterflies before a speaking engagement, the skill is not to become hooked by them, you'll learn to simply observe them with curiosity and tap into the energy that comes with them to deliver the talk you need to as you need to.

Successfull public speaking isn't about being perfect, it's about being authentic. You may have seen Adele's tribute to George Michael at the 2017 Grammy's, she had to ask the band to stop and start again, this didn't result in judgment or failure, the audience related to her and appreciated her authenticity, in fact I would say she went up in their estimation rather than down.

I will work with you to help you feel comfortable simply being yourself, you'll prepare and deliver the speech you need to deliver confidently.
