Freelance Public Speaking Trainer
If your clients are looking for help with communication skills, public speaking is often the biggest barrier to confidence. Many professionals feel out of their depth when asked to present, lead meetings, or speak up in front of others—and they’re not alone. In fact, up to 77% of people in the UK experience some level of anxiety around public speaking, while 15% suffer from glossophobia, a more intense, persistent fear.
I offer practical, engaging public speaking training that helps people overcome these challenges, with a focus on building confidence, managing nerves, improving structure, and using visual support effectively.
What Makes me Different?
What differentiates me is my background in classical singing and stage performance. This brings a unique approach to public speaking training. Attendees will learn about basic vocal physioliogy, how to breath to support the voice, manage nerves through proven breathing techniques, and develop confident, expressive delivery.
Practical Experience and Lifelong Passion
I have been public speaking since I was 12. For more information about my journey, please visit my about page. Professionally, I have been a full-time trainer and public speaker for 15 years, delivering hundreds of courses to thousands of people. From the main stage at the Excel for Google Digital Garage to a small theatre for Ambition Broxbourne, my experience and insight is born from practical application. As a result, your attendees get hands-on support they can implement immediately.

As a freelance trainer, I deliver high-quality, flexible workshops that complement your existing learning offer.
