I've played in the world's most iconic concert halls - from Carnegie Hall to the Royal Albert Hall. I've played in front of royalty, on live TV and radio, and recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios. I've performed to arenas of twenty thousand people, and live at the BBC Proms. I've shared the stage with Sir Paul McCartney and been backstage with Sir Elton John and Mick Jagger. 

 

I understand the pressure of high-level performing. It can be overwhelming, no matter who you are - and where there's pressure, anxiety is never far away. I've had first-hand experience of how self-defeating performance anxiety is. The humiliation. The disappointment. The self-blame. The feelings of worthlessness.

 

When anxiety crept into my career as a professional musician, I searched everywhere for help. But I soon discovered most help fell far short of what I needed. At best, it masked my symptoms or helped me feel slightly more in control. It became exhausting trying to think my way out of anxiety.

 

Eventually, my gut lead me towards hypnotherapy - something I was curious to try but knew nothing about. Together with my therapist, we located the root cause of my anxiety and reprogrammed my habitual response to fear. It transformed my whole experience of performing and was truly life-changing. 

 

Mind-blown by the results, I decided to qualify as a hypnotherapist to help others unlock that same freedom. I've since worked with countless musicians to transform their performance experience from fear to flow.
