WHAT CLIENTS SAY *
Real people. Real results
“At the end of the public speaking session I feel weirdly confident: I could almost rush straight to Speakers’ Corner and let rip.”
Lucy Atkins
Daily Telegraph
"The sessions enabled me to stand up in front of an audience without the horrible sense of dread that I experienced before now. This has rebuilt confidence which had been sorely depleted by my own unsuccessful attempts to sort this out."
Chris R
After two sessions
"I had two of the online sessions and it worked! I’ve waited 7 months to write this testimonial to see if the results were long lasting. I’m pleased to say that they are. My confidence has grown and my nerves have disappeared."

IS THIS FOR YOU?
Does this sound familiar?
This program is for you if:
- You dread presentations days or weeks in advance
- You avoid speeches, meetings, calls and introductions
- Your mind goes blank, your voice changes, your heart races
- You fear humiliation, embarrassment, or “freezing”
- You replay speaking situations afterwards for hours
- You have the skills and you prepare obsessively but you still panic
- You know it's irrational but can't stop the anxiety
- You've tried courses, tips and breathing techniques — and it hasn't helped
Every one of those costs you something — confidence, opportunities, time and energy spent dreading what might happen. Remove the fear, and you get all of that back. Presentations, meetings and calls stop being a big deal. They just become entries in your calendar and nothing more than that.
THE SOLUTION
How we remove the fear
We use a whole range of reliable evidence-based psychological tools to rapidly undo the patterns you've picked up and install calm patterns for the future allowing you to feel calmer, more confident and more in control when you are speaking.
Dedicated 1-to-1 treatment
Both 90-minute sessions are tailored to your unique fears, triggers, situations and goals— not a generic group programme.
THIS IS ABOUT YOU
Two structured sessions
Most clients see a dramatic shift after session one. Both sessions completed in-clinic or over Zoom at times that suit you.
AVAILABLE WEEKDAYS & WEEKENDS
High success rates
We have very high success rates even with long-standing and extreme glossophobia. Because we know what works.

WHAT CHANGES
After two sessions our clients tell us they:
- Stood up in front of 200 people and felt calm for the first time.
- Nailed a presentation they'd been dreading for weeks.
- Stopped turning down jobs and promotions because of their fear.
- Gave the wedding speech they'd been terrified of — and enjoyed it.
- Speak up in meetings without the anxiety that used to consume them.
- Notice having more energy and feel better about themselves.
And almost all say the same thing: they wish they'd done it sooner.
"I have no idea why or how the sessions managed to change me in such a short space of time from a gibbering wreck to someone who, and I quote…. “spoke with great confidence and conviction” but I wish I had taken this step sooner. It would have saved me years of anguish and sleepless nights. "

You’ll speak confidentially with a therapist who specialises in treating glossophobia and public speaking anxiety and who really understands your fear.
We’ll take time to find out how it affects you (what happens in what situations and how you want to be in the future) – and explain exactly how we can help you. Then we’ll talk you through how it all works and how it is tailored to address your unique challenges.
At the end we give you an honest view on whether our program is right for you and what the best next step looks like. Most people tell us they feel relief just from this first conversation.
There is no cost and no pressure to continue.
How much is the program?
This is a specialist treatment programme delivered at a fixed fee, not open-ended therapy. There are no weekly sessions, endless commitments, or hidden costs.
The two-session programme is £250 per session (£500 in total).
Sessions are 1½ hours long, although we recommend allowing up to 2 hours.
Payment is made before each session takes place.
Will public speaking courses help me overcome my fear of public speaking?
No. Forget public speaking courses because they rarely address the anxiety and fear of speaking in public. But you still have to stand up and present at the end. Which can be terrifying. You most likely have the skills to present or talk in a meeting. So you don’t need help with that. It’s the fear that gets in the way. And without the fear, you can do the rest.
How can I overcome my fear of public speaking?
The fear of public speaking is irrational. The sufferer knows consciously that it doesn’t make sense; that the situation is safe and they’re probably talking to decent professional people. Yet the unconscious mind triggers an automatic fear response based on learned negative patterns and beliefs about speaking publicly. To overcome this phobia (glossophobia), the deep-seated unconscious patterns driving the irrational fear reaction need to be reprogrammed and replaced so the anxiety no longer triggers. Specialist therapy will do this.
What is glossophobia?
Glossophobia, or public speaking phobia, is a very common phobia characterized by a severe fear of speaking in public – an intense and irrational fear of being judged by others when speaking in front of them – or of making mistakes, being embarrassed or humiliated in such situations – causing dread, anxiety, panic and avoidance.
How do I know if I have glossophobia?
Signs you have glossophobia include excessive anxiety before public speaking, avoiding events that require it, managing and manipulating people or situations to make it more comfortable, freezing or blanking when actually speaking, severe physical symptoms (like changes in heart rate, breathing and temperature), irrational negative thoughts about being judged, obsessively ruminating afterward about what you did. If these symptoms are familiar to you and significantly impact your life and career, you are likely to have diagnosable glossophobia.
What is the Spotlight Effect?
The Spotlight Effect is a cognitive bias that causes people to hugely overestimate how much others notice and care about their appearance, behavior, and actions. It leads to an inflated sense of being observed and scrutinized by others which can cause self-consciousness and intense anxiety when, for example, speaking in public.

Do public speaking tips help with public speaking anxiety?
No. Tips and tricks won’t help if you want to overcome your fear and anxiety around speaking in public. You know the kind: “10 Tips For Effective Public Speaking”. Plan. Prepare. Know Your Audience. Use humour. Use visuals. Tell a story. Make eye contact. Etc. But this is not what you need because your bar is probably lower. You just want to get through it, feel okay and do a passable job. You just want the fear gone. That's why our program deals with the fear.
Is glossophobia the same as stage fright?
Glossophobia is the clinical term for excessive, irrational fear and anxiety around public speaking. It is also commonly called stage fright. The two terms describe the same condition. "Stage fright" tends to be used for performers like actors and musicians, while glossophobia is the broader clinical term covering fear, panic, and avoidance of any public speaking situation.
Does CBT help overcome glossophobia?
Overcoming glossophobia, the fear of public speaking, can be challenging with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alone. While individuals may intellectually understand that public speaking situations are generally safe, their emotional response, driven by the survival instinct, can override these rational thoughts. This makes the cognitive aspect of CBT, which focuses on changing negative thought patterns, less effective. Furthermore, the intense anxiety associated with glossophobia can make gradual exposure, a core component of CBT, feel overwhelming and potentially exacerbate the fear.

Is glossophobia limited to the fear of giving presentations?
No, a phobia of public speaking is not just about the fear of giving presentations. Glossophobia is a more general fear and can manifest in many other situations where people are terrified of talking but have little choice:
• Meetings
• Remote/online meetings
• Telephone calls (especially in open offices)
• One-to-one meetings (especially with a senior person)
• Interviews
• Introducing oneself in meetings or on courses
• Giving a presentation on a public speaking course
• Speaking up or reading aloud in a class
• Wedding speeches
• Funerals & eulogies
• Family gatherings
• Party Games
• Award ceremonies
• Stage performances
• Having casual conversations in public settings
