What clients say

★★★★★

“I saw Aaron about 6 months ago for anxiety with public speaking after a leg shaking anxiety attack during a presentation. I had our annual conference imminent where the most senior Apple employees present on our departments. I knew the Apple CEO and others in the highest positions would be attending. There was no shaking and I felt much calmer. Colleagues also complimented me on how well it did. I can recommend Aaron very highly.”

“I can honestly say that Aaron changed my life. Prior to seeing Aaron for the first time I had been made redundant from two successive jobs for being shy and retiring. It got to the stage where I couldn’t speak to anyone in the office such was my anxiety. Aaron brought out the real, authentic me, totally transforming my confidence at work and in my private life. I have since started a new job, have been promoted 4 times and am an industry leader with 30 people in my team and regularly presenting at industry events. Quite the transformation! Speak to Aaron, he will change your life!”

“I used to dread public speaking, to the extent that I’d avoid speaking up at meetings. When I was asked to present my ideas to the entire business, I was overcome with anxiety. After three sessions with Kate, the anxiety turned to excitement. I now look forward to public speaking and actively seek opportunities to present to large groups – I’ve even joined a public speaking club”

“Hi Aaron, my presentation went really well! It was probably the best presentation I’ve ever delivered. I felt calm, took my time, and for the first time I actually managed to say everything I wanted to say without rushing. I’m really pleased with how it went. Thank you so much for all your help”

“I used to think public speaking was my worst nightmare – sweaty palms, dry mouth, and a heart racing like it was in the Grand Prix! But then I called Aaron. Not only did he help me overcome my fear, but he also managed turn my nerves into excitement. I had previously everything from books to online courses to mental yoga but nothing worked. Aaron’s sessions were a game-changer. Now, I actually look forward to speaking in public. If you want to transform your fear into confidence, call Aaron - it works.”

“I want to thank Emily for her incredible work. I had four sessions with her, but I could already see noticeable results after the first one. The treatment was tailored to my needs and has been incredible effective. Emily's approach was very supportive. I now have a completely different mindset and I'm so grateful for the positive changes I've experienced. I highly recommend City Hypnosis.”

Overcoming Workplace and Presentation Anxiety

The fear of public speaking isn't just limited to standing on a stage; it frequently strikes during everyday office scenarios like speaking up in a team huddle or providing routine project updates. This anxiety is caused by an automatic, subconscious "fight-or-flight" response that floods your body with adrenaline, causing your heart to race, your voice to shake, and your mind to go completely blank.

By safely accessing the subconscious mind, we replace old patterns of self-doubt with deep feelings of calm control. Instead of viewing a meeting or an audience as a stressful hurdle, your brain learns to view speaking opportunities as a straightforward, comfortable part of your working day.
