My approach is warm, honest, and always focused on your goals. I want you leave feeling more able to show up as yourself - whether that’s on LinkedIn, in a pitch, or just telling someone what you do.

Business Confidence FAQs

What do you mean by “business confidence”?

Practical, repeatable calm and clarity when you need to be visible: whether that is posting on LinkedIn, pitching offers, recording your first video, networking, or presenting.

It’s not generic mindset talk. It’s targeted tools to steady your nervous system and build skills so showing up becomes easy and consistent.

How do you help if I freeze before posting online?

We combine cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy to quiet the “what will they think?” loop with simple, step-by-step posting routines.

Expect short wins each week: a calm cue, a script to introduce yourself, and small actions that compound. The goal is to hit “post” with pride and keep going.

I’m new to LinkedIn (or restarting). Will this still work?

Yes - “Confidently Post on LinkedIn” is designed especially for beginners or restarters. You’ll get a clear, low-pressure plan to share your expertise, reduce overthinking, and become consistent without feeling fake.

I’m terrified of video. Can you help me make my first one?

Yes. In “Make and Post Your First Video,” we remove the fear of being judged while you record a simple, sincere video.


You’ll rehearse calmly, use practical prompts, and post - even if you’re convinced you’ll mess it up.

What if networking makes me feel awkward and I don’t know what to say?

“Networking for Beginners” gives you walk-in-with-confidence tools: a simple intro, conversation starters, and a plan to leave with genuine connections.

You’ll learn what to do before, during, and after so it stops feeling like a performance and starts building your business.

Do you offer help with pitching and public speaking?

Yes. The Pitching Club focuses on live practice with feedback so you improve every time. For talks and presentations, we use calm rehearsal, clear structure, and repetition so you sound like the expert you are - without the knot in your stomach.

I just want a quick breakthrough. Do I have to join a course?

No. Book a Breakthrough Confidence Session (one-to-one). In one focused session (£99), we identify what’s really stopping you, and set a simple plan tailored to your next visibility moment.

How fast will I feel a difference?

Most people notice a shift within days because we aim for small, immediate wins: one post, one video, one conversation, one pitch. Think minutes a day that compound into confidence.

What does a typical week of progress look like?

Short, doable actions: a 2–3 minute newsletter tip, a simple script to listen to, a mini-experiment at a networking event, and a calm audio before you post or present. No jargon, no overwhelm, just steps you can take today.

I’ve tried pushing through with willpower. Why is this different?

Willpower fights your nervous system. We steady the nervous system first (so anxiety drops), then layer in ultra-simple marketing actions that feel authentic. That’s why the confidence lasts.

Is this only for business owners?

No. It’s ideal for small business owners and also professionals who want to speak up in meetings, present with authority, or rebuild confidence after redundancy or a career break.

What results can I expect?

Clearer, calmer visibility: posting consistently, speaking without dread, introducing yourself confidently, and getting real engagement and opportunities. The work is practical and outcome-focused, measured by what you do and how you feel while doing it.

How do I get started?

Pick your next best step: join a course (LinkedIn, Video, Pitching, Networking) or book a Breakthrough Confidence Session. If you’re unsure, jump on the waitlist or drop me a line, tell me where you’re stuck, and I’ll point you to the quickest win.

What if I’m worried about being judged by old colleagues or friends?

You’re not alone - I’ve been there. We’ll use calm rehearsal and simple scripts so you can share your story confidently, even when people who knew your “old role” are watching. The goal is to show up as yourself and feel good about it.

Do you provide ongoing support to keep momentum?

Yes. Confidence Connection, my daily newsletter, delivers 2–3 minute actionable tips, mindset shifts, and mini-experiments for you to try - to keep progress easy between courses.

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a type of complementary therapy that uses a combination of hypnosis, mindfulness and CBT to help individuals make positive changes in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

How does hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy works by putting an individual into a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness, where they can access their subconscious mind and work through issues that may be affecting their mental or physical health. 

Does hypnotherapy work for everyone?

While hypnotherapy is effective for many people, it does not work for everyone in the same way. Some individuals are naturally more responsive to hypnosis than others. Factors such as willingness, openness, and trust in the process can influence success. Additionally, hypnotherapy is not a magic fix - it works best when combined with commitment and action.

Do I have to use Hypnosis to get results from your courses

The short answer is no, but to get the best results you should commit to listening to the audios supplied as regularly as possible. Previous students were able to get over mindset issues quicker because they listened regularly.

What business qualifications do you have?

I have a BA Hons in Law and a Masters in Leadership and Management from York St John university. I have also started and run businesses in mail order software, childminding, modelmaking workshops and children’s parties. My most recent was as a copywriter focussing on email marketing and LinkedIn profile writing.
