Psychological Support for Public Speaking Anxiety, Meeting Confidence & Performance Anxiety
The world is asking more of us than ever. Yet nobody teaches us the psychology being seen.
Work has changedWe're expected to speak up in meetings, present ideas, influence others, interview repeatedly throughout our careers, build personal brands, lead teams and adapt to constant change.
Being good at your actual job is no longer always enough, particularly in the AI era.
Increasingly, opportunities come to the people who can communicate their ideas, influence others and show up confidently when they're being watched and evaluated.
For many this feels excruciating, because every new opportunity also feels like another opportunity to be judged negatively. Eventually, perhaps you begin avoiding the very opportunities that would move your life forward.
This isn't just public speaking anxiety.
It's the psychology of visibility.
Whether you're:
presenting to clients
speaking in meetings
interviewing for a new role
networking
leading a team
posting on LinkedIn
recording YouTube videos
giving a keynote
...your brain is solving the same problem: ‘how do I stay safe while being seen?"
Unfortunately, many of the strategies that help us feel safer in the moment - overthinking, self-monitoring, trying to sound perfect, avoiding visibility altogether - also stop us communicating naturally and taking opportunities. They normally also increase anxiety in the long term.
The challenge isn't usually a lack of communication skills, many people speak just fine when they’re at home, or with their partner. It's what happens psychologically when the stakes feel high.
Why This Matters Now
-
Routine tasks are increasingly automated, placing greater evaluation and weight on 'human' skills like presentation skills.
Communication Evaluation
-
Your hard work goes unnoticed if it's not visible. You're often paying a meeting tax each time you don't speak up.
The Meeting Tax
-
You're not getting the reputation you deserve based on your work, due to visibility difficulties.

That’s why I created this community.
Hello!As a therapist and coach specialising in fear of judgement, I keep seeing a very specific need: professionals who struggle with anxiety when being perceived at work. Many had previously spent significant time and money on executive coaching, which doesn’t truly address the anxiety issue.
This is not a place of confidence hacks, but a place to help you understand and change the psychology that shows up whenever you feel evaluated.
This is an ongoing place to learn, practise and apply evidence-based psychology to the moments that matter most.
Because psychological change doesn't happen from consuming more information. It happens through repeated understanding, experimentation and experience.
Inside The Membership
The Self-Paced Course ‘Overcome Visibility Anxiety at Work’
Access to my framework and evidence-based course on the psychology of visibility at work to help you understand yourself and change things, today. This course is based on principles from CBT, ACT and performance psychology, directly tailored to anxiety at work.
Weekly Live Practice Groups
Live practice groups where we practice exposure to speaking while anxious with specific challenges for all levels of the group. If it sounds awful, it’s probably needed.
Monthly workshops x2
Each month we'll explore live one aspect of the psychology of visibility. For example, why do we shrink when someone more senior is in the room, and what to do? How to navigate power dynamics?

Join the founding waitlist here
This membership is for people who know they are capable of more but find themselves shrinking when visibility increases.
You might be:
avoiding speaking in meetings
struggling with public speaking anxiety
holding back in leadership
anxious about presentations
stepping into a more visible role
tired of overthinking every interaction
If you've ever thought:
"I know what I want to say. I just can't seem to be myself when people are watching."
You'll probably feel at home here.
If that idea resonates with you, I'd love you to help shape it from the beginning, and we launch Oct 2026.
