ONE-TO-ONE COACHING FOR SPEAKERS AND PERFORMERS
Here's how I can help you make a bigger impact
DEVELOP THE CONFIDENCE TO SPEAK OR PERFORM
I use somatic coaching techniques to help my clients feel more grounded and confident in their bodies, so that the fear they may be feeling around speaking or performing has less of a hold on them. As part of this work, we explore the influences in their lives that have caused them to show up the way they do physically and energetically. Over time, by working with the client through their body, this can create lasting transformation. My clients typically report that they feel more confident, authentic and less anxious in performance situations and other areas of life.
FIND YOUR OWN UNIQUE STYLE
I want you to be you, rather than copy someone else’s style. I believe that everyone is at their most compelling when they are being truly themselves. That is why when I work with my clients I help them to uncover their unique style and strengths that feel authentic to who they are. I do this by offering up my feedback on practice talks they give with me and video footage they send me of presentations they have done. By working with them at a somatic level, my clients are able to break free from the tensions held in their body so they show up and feel more relaxed and confident as their true selves.
DISCOVER WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY
Some of my clients realise they want to make difference but are not entirely sure what they want to say. I help them discover what really matters to them by examining their values and clarifying a sense of purpose in their lives by tapping into the wisdom of the body. I also help them to uncover the stories and experiences from their lives that give them their unique perspective and point of view. That then helps to give them a greater sense of clarity and assurance when they talk from a place of conviction rather than people-pleasing.
HOW DOES SOMATIC COACHING WORK?
Somatic work gives my clients greater access to their innate intuition (something we all possess, if we able to listen to it). Learning to listen to their intuition helps them to make better decisions, heal past traumas and get to know their needs in a way that traditional talking-based therapies struggle to achieve.
Part of the work I do with clients is to help their bodies unlearn “conditioned tendencies” that have built up over the years. These are learned strategies adopted to cope with real or perceived threats to their safety and wellbeing.
These strategies served a useful purpose but, over time, they can cause them to lose connection to the things they care about and lead to behaviours such as people pleasing, making themselves small or withdrawing their voice from the world.
By unlearning these habits they can literally create a new “shape” which makes spaces for a new, more confident way of showing up in the world.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
A one-off session with me costs £150 per hour. For longer term arrangements, the relationships I have with my clients are always bespoke to their needs. Some need just a few sessions whereas others like to meet me regularly (eg every two weeks) over a series of months. The price I charge will be less than my one-off charge but depends on the number and frequency of sessions a client has with me so please contact me for a tailored quotation.
