For many, public speaking is both a coveted skill and a daunting challenge. We admire figures like Steve Jobs, Tony Robbins, and Brené Brown for their effortless command of a room, yet the thought of stepping up to speak can trigger intense anxiety. This is where Hypnotherapy for Public Speaking can transform your fear into confidence.
My Journey from Fear to Confidence
I always used to be in awe (and still am) of those great speakers who could captivate thousands with their confidence. However, every time I had to speak in front of a class or a small group, my body would betray me—severe palm sweats, a flushed face, and words that stumbled out as if I were driving over cobblestones.
Despite these physical signs of fear, I knew public speaking was a skill I desperately wanted to master, especially as I began building my personal training business, where speaking at workshops and events became critical.
Between 2016 and 2020, my public speaking experiences took on new dimensions. As I transitioned into the role of a vegan influencer in London, affectionately known as ‘The Plant Powered PT’, I gradually received more invitations to speak.
My journey began almost by chance when I stepped in as a favour at an event with a missing speaker. In 2017, I delivered a talk at Vevolution—a London vegan event—that eventually became my keynote speech and inspired my book Plant Powered.
Later, I delivered several paid talks for Funzing in both London and Manchester and, in the summer of 2019, I spoke in front of 250 people at Vegan Campout, the UK’s major annual vegan food festival. The pinnacle of my speaking career came when I created the Health and Fitness module for The CNM (College of Naturopathic Medicine) Health Coach course, recording much of the curriculum’s video content and delivering live lectures in early 2020.
Even though I’m no longer vegan or part of the community, the 7 years that I was had a profound impact on my personal and professional development, which I’ll always be really grateful for.
The Power of Hypnotherapy for Public Speaking
What transformed my journey was learning to reframe fear. A turning point came when I embraced the simple yet profound idea from Susan Jeffers’ book Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway. Instead of letting fear dictate my performance, I started to see that unsettling feeling as a precursor to growth—a sign that I was stepping into new, opportunity-rich territory.
This is where hypnotherapy comes into play. Hypnotherapy helps to gently reprogram the subconscious mind, shifting your inner narrative from one of fear and self-doubt to one of empowerment and possibility. It guides you to observe your fear without judgment, then reframe it as a catalyst for personal development. With regular sessions, you can replace those automatic, anxious responses with calm, confident, and clear thoughts, transforming your approach to public speaking.
Reframing Fear: A Gateway to Growth
Every time I faced my fear of speaking, I learned something new about myself. The more I practiced saying “yes” to opportunities—despite the nerves—the more I realised that my fear was not a barrier but an invitation to improve.
Hypnotherapy can be an instrumental tool in helping you unlock that understanding. By addressing the deep-rooted subconscious beliefs that fuel anxiety, you can start to cultivate a new mindset and turn public speaking from a dreaded ordeal into a platform for growth and opportunity.
Hypnotherapy isn’t a magic cure, but it is a powerful tool. It empowers you to dive deep into the subconscious, recognize the triggers of your fear, and ultimately reframe them. This mental shift not only eases your anxiety but also allows you to connect more authentically with your audience, delivering your message with passion and clarity.
The “Find Your Voice” Hypnotherapy Package
I’ve tailored a hypnotherapy package specifically designed for public speaking challenges—Find Your Voice. This personalized program is structured to help you overcome anxiety, build inner belief, and empower you to speak with clarity and purpose. Here’s how it works:
- Step 1: Free Informal Chat
Every journey begins with a conversation. Your first step is a free 20-minute informal chat, during which we explore your public speaking goals and assess if we’re a good fit for working together. - Step 2: Initial Consultation
Next, we dive deeper into your specific fears around public speaking. Through a thorough initial consultation, we identify your triggers, assess your anxiety levels, and collaboratively set clear, achievable goals. - Step 3: Building Layers
Each subsequent hypnotherapy session is like adding a new layer to your inner strength. These sessions are designed to progressively build positive self-talk and reinforce your inner belief. With each layer, you become more confident and capable of handling the pressures of public speaking. - Step 4: Reaffirm & Embody
To ensure the new mindset sticks, you’ll receive ‘homework’ between sessions. This helps reinforce the lessons learned, allowing you to embody your new self-image and seamlessly integrate these positive changes into your daily life.
The Find Your Voice package includes an initial online consultation (60 minutes), two bespoke hypnotherapy sessions (60 minutes each), self-hypnosis recordings, and a follow-up email to support your progress—all for £210, with additional sessions available at £70 each.
