Want to reduce anxiety, have increased confidence and get back to doing the things you used to?

We can all feel worried or anxious about giving a speech, sitting for an exam or giving a presentation. However, it can go beyond jitters; we may lose sleep, find it hard to focus, and experience physical responses such as panic attacks, sickness or sweating. I help my clients understand why the brain perceives it as a threat and focus their energy on how they want it to be. I create a bespoke hypnosis track, which supports our work in the session to create emotional control. As a result, clients have reported feeling calmer and able to do the task at hand, which surprised them!

What is Performance Anxiety?

Whenever we have to perform a task demonstrating a skill (sports, exam or presentation) we strive to maximise the development of the skills and present the best version of our self. Studies have shown that performance can be significantly improved if mental practice is conscientiously sustained then we can achieve results we physically strive towards.

Hypnotherapy is an effective method of reducing performance anxiety because:

It is goal orientated
Helps to build confidence
You can mentally prepare and equally reduce potential anxiety.
Frees the mind’s ability to deliver the best performance.

Please note: hypnotherapy is a strength-based approach. Everyone is different and results can’t be guaranteed. It works best when you’re ready to make changes, and it doesn’t replace medical care, so please keep your GP in the loop. Your FREE initial consultation is a 15-minute telephone consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Can hypnotherapy cure performance anxiety?

“Hypnotherapy doesn’t eliminate nerves entirely, and you wouldn’t want it to. A small amount of adrenaline actually improves performance. What hypnotherapy does is reduce the excessive anxiety response that gets in the way, so you can access your skills and knowledge under pressure. Combined with breathwork techniques, most clients find they can perform with confidence rather than dread.

What are the symptoms of performance anxiety?

Common symptoms include a racing heart, shaking hands, dry mouth, sweating, nausea, going blank and losing sleep the night before. These are your brain’s threat response misfiring, not a sign that you’re incapable or dont know your stuff. Hypnotherapy and breathwork address the root cause of these physical responses rather than just managing them.

3. How does breathwork help with performance anxiety?

As a qualified breathwork coach, Asha teaches specific breathing techniques that regulate your nervous system in real time. Used in the minutes before a presentation or exam, controlled breathwork shifts your body out of fight-or-flight and into a calm, focused state. It’s one of the most immediate tools available, and you can use it anywhere, anytime.

4. How quickly can hypnotherapy help with performance anxiety?

Many clients notice meaningful improvement within 2 to 3 sessions, particularly useful if you have an upcoming presentation or exam. A full programme of 4 to 6 sessions delivers deeper, longer-lasting results. Asha will discuss a realistic timeline during your free 15-minute consultation.
