Public Speaking Hypnotherapy in Newcastle & the North East
Does the thought of speaking in front of other people make you feel anxious, self-conscious or overwhelmed? Public speaking anxiety is extremely common and can affect people during presentations, meetings, interviews, speeches, training sessions or any situation where they feel they are being watched or judged.
At Peaceful Minds in Newcastle, Sian Barnard provides professional therapy for public speaking anxiety, combining hypnotherapy, CBT and psychotherapy techniques to help you feel calmer, more confident and more in control when speaking in front of others.
Understanding Public Speaking Anxiety
Anxiety around public speaking can affect both your thoughts and your body. You may worry about forgetting what you want to say, making a mistake, looking nervous or being judged negatively by other people.
These thoughts can trigger physical symptoms such as shaking, sweating, a racing heart, a dry mouth or difficulty concentrating. The more you focus on these sensations, the more anxious you may become.
Over time, this can create a cycle in which speaking situations are avoided whenever possible, making the fear feel even stronger when they cannot be avoided.
Building Confidence When Speaking in Public
Sian combines clinical hypnotherapy with CBT and psychotherapy techniques to help you identify and challenge some of the beliefs and thought patterns that contribute to public speaking anxiety.
Therapy can help you reduce excessive self-consciousness, feel more comfortable with the possibility of making mistakes and develop a calmer response to being the focus of attention.
Rather than aiming to eliminate every trace of nervousness, the goal is to help you feel sufficiently calm and confident to communicate effectively even when some natural nerves are present.
