Public Speaking

It is very common to have anxiety when doing public speaking which can be very limiting. Every year 1 in 5 Australians face these challenges but you don’t have to be alone. Anxiety about public speaking can affect people of all ages, but easily overcome with effective treatments that are available. Counselling can teach you to look at the situation differently and with more confidence, so that you can overcome your anxieties. Clinical hypnotherapy can also aid in creating positive associations with public speaking that will make it easier to achieve.

Anxiety treatment

Anxiety about public speaking is self-perpetuating because it will make your palms sweat and make your voice shake, which in turn will make you more anxious about what you are doing. In therapy we work specifically towards helping you master the roof cause of the anxiety. Using cognitive behavioural therapy to assess your thoughts, your behaviours and your emotions, counsellors can determine the factors that are causing your anxiety and help you to overcome the resulting worries and fears. Where required, clinical hypnotherapy can also be used to help create positive associations towards public speaking too.

Is anxiety treatment right for me?

If anxiety about public speaking is holding you back in your career development or is interfering with your ability to speak at your son’s wedding then anxiety treatment can solve the problem for you. With anxiety treatment you will learn how to handle the factors that are making you anxious and you will be able to overcome them. In doing so, you can take back mastery of your speech and give the presentation you are capable of giving.
