Speaking in Public fears - interview nerves

Public speaking is the most common fear or phobia.

Speaking in Public with Confidence

Turn nervous energy into calm, clear confidence

For many people, speaking in public feels uncomfortable. Even the idea of talking in front of a group can bring a racing heart, shaky hands, a dry mouth or a mind that goes blank.

Public speaking can mean many things. It may be a work presentation, a staff meeting, a sales pitch, a wedding speech, a class talk, a video or podcast, or even having your say in a social group. When old fears and habits get in the way, it can feel easier to avoid these moments instead of using them.

Gregory Hypnotherapy focuses on helping you build reliable inner calm. The aim is not just to get through a talk, but to feel more steady, more prepared and more in control before, during and after you speak.

How Fear of Speaking in Public Shows Up

It is more common than most people realise

Many capable people feel uneasy about speaking in public, yet they hide it well. On the surface they look successful or confident, but inside they may be worrying for days or weeks before they need to speak.

Typical experiences can include

Some people describe an uncomfortable rush of adrenaline before it is time to speak. Others find that their thoughts begin to spiral. It may feel as if every eye in the room is judging them, or that any small pause or mistake will be a disaster. This pressure can make it harder to think clearly, to remember what to say, or to enjoy any part of the event.

Over time, many people begin to avoid speaking opportunities. They may say no to promotions, stay silent in meetings, turn down invitations, or pass chances to share their ideas. This can limit work, business, study and social life.

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist Dip.Clin.Hyp. I can discuss any issue(s) confidentially with you by Chat, Text, Talk or Video on WhatsApp.

How Gregory Hypnotherapy Can Help

Working with the conscious and subconscious mind

Hypnotherapy can assist by calming the automatic fear response and building new patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. Instead of fighting nerves at the last minute, you learn to prepare your mind in advance, so that calm confidence becomes more natural for you.

Rehearsing success in a safe and private way

In sessions, you can mentally rehearse speaking situations in a safe and private setting. This may include imagining walking to the front of the room, beginning your talk, handling questions and finishing strongly. Rehearsal under hypnosis can make it easier to feel familiar and settled when the real moment arrives.

Techniques may include guided relaxation, focused breathing, positive mental rehearsal and practical strategies you can use before, during and after your talk. Gregory draws on many years of experience to tailor the work to your needs, rather than expecting you to fit a one size fits all method.

  • Running meetings, chairing discussions or leading teams
  • Sales talks, business pitches and investor presentations
  • Speaking at conferences, industry events and training days

Education, Study & Academic Speaking

For students of all ages and levels

  • Class talks and school presentations
  • University speeches, assignments and thesis presentations
  • Oral examinations and viva assessments
  • Group projects where you must speak in front of peers
  • Reading aloud in class or in front of teachers
  • Academic competitions, debates and awards presentations

Social, Personal & Life Events

Moments that matter to you and your loved ones

Many people feel more nervous speaking in front of family and friends than in front of strangers. These meaningful events can feel highly emotional, and preparing your mind makes a big difference.

  • Wedding speeches and engagement speeches
  • Birthday celebrations, anniversaries and family gatherings
  • Eulogies, ceremonies and community events
  • Social clubs, community groups and volunteer events
  • Sharing ideas or stories in group settings
  • Situations where you feel “put on the spot”

  • Webinars, online training sessions and remote presentations
  • Speaking on Zoom or in virtual meetings
  • Recording videos for social media or business use
  • Speaking on podcasts, radio or interview panels
  • Delivering online courses or coaching sessions

What to Expect in Your Sessions

Private, confidential and focused on you

Each appointment is private and confidential. You can talk about the specific situations that worry you, as well as the goals you want to reach. Gregory listens carefully, asks questions and then designs a plan that fits your needs, your background and your time frame.

Practical tools you can use in real life

Along with the hypnotherapy part of the session, you can receive practical tools to use in daily life. These may include simple mental techniques before you speak, ways to manage your breathing and body language, and methods to reset after a talk so that you build confidence instead of replaying old worries.

Many people report that they begin to feel calmer not only in formal public speaking, but also in meetings, conversations and other situations where they are the centre of attention.

Session Options to Suit You

Flexible formats to match your schedule

Sessions are available by Zoom, by phone or in clinic, subject to current availability. Many clients choose Zoom or phone sessions because they can work from home, the office or while travelling, without needing to travel to a clinic.

Preparing for your public speaking work

You are welcome to bring notes, outlines or slides for your upcoming talk. Some clients also practise short sections of their presentation during the session. This can help create a smoother link between the inner work and the practical reality of standing up to speak.

If you have an important talk, interview or event coming up, it can be useful to start as early as possible, so that you have time to build the new patterns and feel familiar with them.

Taking the next step

If you would like help with speaking in public, you can begin by booking a suitable appointment time. Together you and Gregory can explore your goals, the situations that concern you, and a practical plan to move forward.

Many clients say that feeling more confident when speaking in public makes a genuine difference to their work, income, relationships and general quality of life. One new skill can open many doors.
