I help ambitious, outwardly successful people overcome public speaking anxiety.
 
I specialise in treating the root causes of physical and psychological anxiety.

Most senior leaders try to hide their anxiety symptoms.

"Thanks for your help with stage fright, it has not been a problem since."
Sacha Dench, UN Ambassador

 "I experienced immense stress in the lead-up to an event. 
 I am now confident and comfortable on stage, with frequent TV and radio appearances."


"I’m a senior person in a very responsible global job with a lot expected of me. 
And I was utterly terrified of public speaking and presenting, mainly to Boards. 
No words can explain what Olivia has achieved for me.
I nail the presentation.  So much so I’m being asked to present in front of 1000’s on behalf of my company because I was “so good”. 
Zero clue where my nerves, the puking, the miserable worried person walking the house at night for weeks prior, the obsessive preparer has gone!!!  

This kind, gentle, skilful lady works utter magic." 

Senior leader

As seen in the Financial Times Work Therapy, WIRED, and Psychologies.
