Support with Interview and Presentation Nerves
Do extreme interview nerves stop you from performing at your best? Or do you find the very thought of speaking in public terrifying? Some people experience high levels of anxiety in these situations. To help them, we were recommended to Natalie Swanson, a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner based at St. Thomas' Hospital and The London Clinic. She has worked with some of our clients to help them overcome interview and public speaking nerves through hypnotherapy, as well as teaching them techniques to instill future confidence and calm.
