As Seen On
Why It Works
High-stakes communication is where careers are made or lost — the board meeting, the investor earnings call, the moment a head of department has to perform under pressure. Most leaders were never taught the skills for it. They can master the data but struggle to turn it into a story people actually remember. They don't realize how much their body language, vocal cadence, and composure are quietly shaping whether a room reads them as credible — or not.

Stage Acting & Voice Work
Executive presence, vocal flexibility, storytelling, non-verbal leadership

Mentalism & Hypnotic Language patterns
Attention management, strategic persuasion, engagement mechanics

Hypnotherapy & Mindset
Stress resilience, public speaking anxiety elimination, high-performance conditioning

The AI Factor
AI can analyze data, draft a report, even write a passable speech. What it can't do is walk into a room and make people trust you. The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 found that resilience, flexibility, creative thinking, and empathy are among the human skills expected to remain resistant to AI disruption — the exact skills built through presence, storytelling, and rapport, not raw technical ability. Substack As artificial intelligence takes over more of the technical and analytical work, the skills that remain distinctly human — presence, connection, persuasion, the ability to read a room and hold it — aren't becoming obsolete. They're becoming the differentiator. The leaders who invest in these skills now won't just keep up. They'll be the ones AI can't replace.

About Me
I've spent my career playing a lot of different “roles” — on the stage, in the recording booth, and in a hypnotherapy chair. Turns out, all of it was training for the same thing: helping people communicate the way they want to.
As a stage actress, with critically acclaimed performances across London and Edinburgh (reviewed by The Stage, Time Out, and others), I learned what makes someone magnetic in a room versus forgettable — and how to build that on purpose, consistently. As a professional audiobook narrator with over 426+ titles on Audible (and 6 industry awards to show for it), I've studied the art of storytelling and voice down to the smallest details: tone, pace, clarity, the tiny shifts that determine whether an audience follows you or not. As a peak performance hypnotist and comedy stage hypnotist, mentalist, and mindreader — having performed for high-end corporate events, celebrity weddings, private parties, and comedy hypnosis shows for schools and colleges — I learned how fast real rapport and trust can be built, and exactly how attention works: what people notice, and what they don't. And as a clinical hypnotherapist, I go beneath the performance entirely — to the stories people tell themselves and the fears quietly driving the nerves, the self-doubt, the “not enough” voice.
Put it all together, and you get elite-level coaching that's part performance training, part psychology — and an awful lot of fun along the way.

THE 3 PILLARS OF MY METHOD
My method merges elite performance discipline with corporate strategy translating the mechanics of stagecraft and psychological influence into concrete tools for leadership. It's built on three core pillars.
VOCAL MASTERY & ACCENT REDUCTION
Full control of your vocal instrument — diaphragmatic breathing, precise articulation, and the physical mechanics of vocal production.
A commanding, resonant tone that projects naturally across any boardroom or stage
No more vocal fatigue or strain, even after a full day of talking
Message clarity that holds an audience's attention start to finish

EXECUTIVE
PRESENCE
Physical characterization, spatial awareness, and non-verbal command — the same tools stage performers use to hold a room.
Posture and physicality aligned with strategic intent, so authority reads instantly
Rapport-building and dynamic storytelling that keeps an audience engaged
Techniques that work live, under real pressure — not just in rehearsal

Performance Psychology
Specific, specialized techniques that dismantle public speaking fear at the source, replacing it with cognitive control.
Nervous energy channeled into delivery, not suppressed
Dense corporate data reshaped into narratives that actually move people
Calm, unshakable confidence that holds under real scrutiny
At the heart of Reset is RTT — Rapid Transformational Therapy, paired with bespoke coaching.
Most therapies treat the symptom. RTT goes straight to the root — uncovering why a belief or fear took hold, not just managing it once it's there. Some call it “practical neuroplasticity”: the mind rewiring itself once it truly understands what it's carrying. Paired with CBT and Socratic questioning, this is how leaders move from fear and hesitation to a genuine, lasting shift — not a temporary pep talk.
RESONATE: FIND YOUR VOICE
Accent Reduction
Your Accent Isn't the Problem. Being Misunderstood Is.
For international executives who feel talked over, underestimated, or misread in the boardroom because of how they sound — not what they say.
What it is:
As a professional audiobook narrator, I've spent thousands of hours
studying how sound, rhythm, and clarity shape the way people hear us.
This isn't about erasing your accent - it's about giving you full control
over your speech, so you're understood exactly as you intend, every time.
You choose your target sound: Standard American or Standard
British (also known as Received Pronunciation, or "RP"). With one-on
one coaching you pick which accent you want to learn. Group coaching
runs as single-track cohorts - everyone in your group works toward the
same target accent, so practice stays focused and consistent.
Who it's for:
Leaders and professionals who want their message — not their pronunciation — to be the thing people remember.

What you get:
Your choice of Standard American or Standard British (RP) as your target accent
Practical, ear-trained techniques (not dry linguistics lectures)
Real-time practice using scripts pulled from your actual work life
A judgment-free space with a lot of laughing along the way
One-on-one coaching or group
ALIGN: OWN THE ROOM
Executive Presence & Rapport Building
What it is:
Presence isn't something you're born with — it's a skill, the same one actors and stage performers train for years. This program is holistic: we work on your public speaking, how you build and maintain rapport — including storytelling techniques drawn from hypnotic language patterns that create and hold real engagement — and how to hold your own when negotiating with difficult people.
And we go beyond mindset — into body language, vocal tone, vocal delivery, and turning your nerves into fuel instead of a liability.
Who it's for:
Leaders who want to speak with confidence, connect authentically, read a room, and stay composed — even magnetic — under pressure. Great for individual leaders or full leadership teams.

What you get:
Public speaking coaching rooted in real performance technique, not theory
Storytelling and rapport techniques that hold up in easy conversations and hard negotiations
Body language and vocal delivery work — how you say it matters as much as what you say
Tools to dismantle fear on the spot, using proven techniques like CBT and Socratic questioning
Meditations that lock in what you learn in our sessions
Practical techniques to turn nerves into your edge, not your enemy
Playful and fun hands-on exercises — think improv, not PowerPoint
One-on-one coaching or group
RESET: QUIET THE DOUBT
Imposter Syndrome & Silencing the Inner Critic
What it is:
A deep, focused journey combining hypnotherapy and coaching to get to the root of self-doubt — not just manage it. As a clinical hypnotherapist, I work with the part of your mind that's been running the “you're not good enough” script, and help you rewrite it.
Who it's for:
Leaders who've achieved real success but still feel like they're one mistake from being “found out.” This program is personal, in-depth work, and it deserves your full, undivided attention.

What you get:
Six sessions tailored to your specific triggers and story
A guided look at the psychology of self, to ensure that doubt loses its grip for good
Coaching to build confidence and practical resilience under pressure
A confidential, warm, and safe environment to explore your inner depths
One-on-one coaching only
Real People. Real Change.
Two leaders who silenced internal doubt and scaled their impact.
Felicity
Film & Theatre Producer, Venue Owner
Felicity has spent over 20 years running a London theatre venue - live
plays, stand-up, musical performances, and a film festival she built from
the ground up - alongside producing film and theatre and collaborating
on script development. From the outside, a career built on that scale
looks like success. Privately, she felt stuck, and anxious about what
came next.
Using CBT, NLP, and hypnosis, we worked through her past and rebuilt
her relationship with her future. Here's what she has to say.
I cannot recommend Heather highly enough. She is the most wonderful, caring human. She will help you transform your life- and give you the tools to move forward and do exactly what you want with it.
Felicity, Film & Theatre Producer, Venue Owner
Emma
Founder, ELM
Emma runs her own commercial theatre marketing company in the UK
- a small team, a demanding client list, and two young children at
nursery. Successful by any outside measure, she was privately dealing
with low self-esteem, self-limiting beliefs, and imposter syndrome that
made real balance feel impossible.
She'd already tried life coaching and talk therapy - neither gave her the
tangible shift she was looking for. Her life coach suggested
hypnotherapy specifically to address the stubborn, self-sabotaging
beliefs underneath it all. Here's what happened next.
I have not only overcome those self-limiting beliefs and anxieties, but gained improvement in every aspect of my life. I feel more confident, more at peace, more tenacious, and genuinely happier. There are no limits to what I choose to do in my life going forward... She's not just a hypnotherapist - she's a life changer.

HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnosis is incredibly helpful for pain and stress management, boosting confidence, managing anxiety and depression, overcoming insomnia, eliminating fears and phobias, and enhancing sports performance.
I work with all of these issues and I also specialize in 3 areas with hypnosis and coaching. Weight loss, sexual dysfunction and peak performance for individuals and businesses.
For more information please click the button below.
PRODUCTS
Coming soon I have a selection of hypnosis tracks that you can download and listen to. I will have tracks for total relaxation, perfect sleep, easy weight loss, managing anxiety and conquering public speaking.
I will also be offering ebooks on eliminating procrastination, effective goal setting, embracing empowerment, wealth mindset, effortless weight loss and silencing imposter syndrome.
For more information please click the button below.
PROJECTS
To ensure money is not an obstacle when deciding whether to work with me I have various projects in the pipe line so that anyone who wants to work with me but cannot afford 'one on one' coaching and hypnosis still can.
'One on one' collaboration will always be the most effective but this will be a good alternative. Next year I will be creating short online courses and I have an app currently in development. I also look forward to holding in person retreats for those clients who would benefit most from an immersive experience.
