Exam, Presentation and Driving Test Nerves.

Successfully take your tests and exams, perform presentations and speak in public with ease with a little help from Alice Pinion at the Maldon Hypnotherapy Clinic.

If you, like many, have repeatedly gone to pieces during or failed your driving or motorcycle test, school or University exams, orals, practicals, presentations, interviews or any other studies or stage performances due simply to nerves, panic, anxiety and performance stress then... relax! You can easily overcome these psychological hiccups by working alongside Alice on the two levels of your mind in a fashion tailored precisely to your personal situation.

The first level is your conscious (cognitive/behavioural) one that's overcome by learning how to manage your thinking and anxiety. Your thinking has caused your physical and mental anxiety to trigger you to mess up each time you're on the spot, no matter how well you know your subject or how skilled or experienced you are at your assessed tasks. You may find it's often worse each time you try, as you build up evidence with each failure that you're rubbish at test and exams.

The second works on the subconscious or hard-wiring level of your mind primarily using hypnotherapy and boosts confidence, self belief, memory retrieval, and clarity of thought in the mental dress rehearsals before the big day and of course during the speech, performance, exam or test itself.

"Thought you would like to know that Glen's business idea presentation went really well yesterday. In the morning, Glen said he felt a mixture of a few nerves but excitement too. When it was his turn, he saw the panel of judges and thought he would start to feel nervous, but then told himself that they were only people. Glen went on to go through all his powerpoint presentation and answer the judges questions confidently - he seemed to enjoy the challenge. I have never seen that in Glen before! He would normally lack confidence and become unsure of his answers, so I was glad he was able to convey his ideas successfully."

"Just thought you would like to know that Paul passed his test today. We are all absolutely thrilled for him. He was really calm this morning and, despite having been unwell for the last two days with a terrible cold, seemed to have a very relaxed approach to taking his test. Clearly, his session with you last week helped. With grateful thanks to you Alice for all your help."

You may consider yourself a together and confident person most of the time but the minute all eyes are on your performance you go to pieces. If you do have deeper, further reaching self esteem, fear of being judged or confidence issues these too can be discussed in your initial consult and addressed accordingly.

Sessions are tailored to the individual but will usually involve several elements including:

Reduction of the associated effects of past similar bad experiences through "un-associating" the panic or fear response from the events.
Managing thinking training (Changing limiting beliefs work).
Visualisation, relaxation and teaching of self hypnosis with autosuggestion practice.
Clinical Hypnotherapy (suggestion therapy) specific for you and your problematic exam, test or presentation situation.

These on the spot situations often extend to problems in professional, performing arts, dance, singing and sporting settings, not just exam or test situations. Meetings, networking, interviews, best man speeches, work presentations, formal or informal social gatherings, stage fright, sporting events (see sports performance via hypnotherapy also) are all prime situations where that pesky fight and flight reaction kicks in to turn your knees to jelly, your palms, brow and pits damp with sweat, your mind to a fuzzy mess and your heart to flutter! So don't just live your life avoiding all testing situations, learn how you too can easily get through such experiences with confidence, calmly and with a clear head time and time again. Don't trust me...prove it to yourself!

Fees: Sessions cost £75 each. Often two or three sessions are enough to secure the confidence in your own abilities that you need to succeed!
