Performance Coaching
Performance coaching that we provide helps people who have to perform. Performing or a performance can take a number of different formats. Musicians might give a recital, a sports person might have to perform in a match, an actress might play a part in a stage performance and a business person might have to perform whilst giving a business presentation.
The services we offer in relation to performance include help with: performance anxiety, stage fright, performing under pressure, confidence and focus, event preparation, motivation, perfectionism and confidence.
Everyone gets nervous before and during a performance. This is a normal part of performing. If things go wrong it can affect our ability to perform in subsequent performances. Sometimes it can stop us performing all together. If you are experiencing overwhelming anxiety which is affecting your ability to perform we can help.
We utilise a number of different approaches to assist with these types of difficulties. These include: visualisation, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy/resourcing, neuro linguistic programming and mindfulness.

Professional help for performance
Matthew Alderton - Performance Coach
MA, BSc, PG Dip, PG Dip Psych
I love working with performers and helping them perform. My background in performing music and singing helps with some aspects of performance. It is the marrying of psychology techniques and my performing experience enables me to help people perform better. The main thing I help performers with is anxiety and stage fright. Some of my clients have had to stop performing due to anxiety and stage fright. I'm confident that if this is you I can et you back on stage. I utilise the psychological techniques to help you with performance. These include: emdr, nlp, mindfulness and visualisation.
Performance Coaching Topics
Stage Fright
Work in a focused way on the stage fright anchors which are contributing to stress. We work with the mind and body with emdr to help you feel confident under stressful conditions.
Pressure
How's your performance under pressure? Some of us thrive and some of us crumble. Learn to thrive under pressure whether you are on stage, at a conference or on a court or pitch.
Focus
Focus is a learnt skill. Learn ways to improve focus so you can be in the moment with all your focus on what you need to do and minimise distractions.
Event Preparation
Support when you need to prepare for a big event. It might be a theatre performance, a big golf tournament or a public speech. You might just need to rehearse some lines or work on performance anxiety.
Performance Anxiety
Sometimes performance anxiety becomes too extreme and hampers our ability perform. We can help you to feel less anxious when you have to perform.
Confidence
Feel confident or think confident? We can help you to master high pressure moments so that you feel confident when it really matters. This means you will enjoy and thrive in the moment as opposed to just getting through it.
