Welcome to Leading Light

Workshop Choice Form - Choose your workshops now!

Many people experience different forms of anxiety in social situations, from fears of public speaking to dread of meeting new people, job interviews, dating, speaking on the phone, meetings at work, or worrying about showing physical signs of nervousness. In fact, around 13 people in 100 feel socially anxious and don't know that it's highly treatable.

If this is inhibiting you in your own life, you're not alone and help is at hand. What most people don't realize is that it's highly treatable and clinical studies have proven several therapeutic techniques to be successful in overcoming the problem long term.

Leading Light is hosted by group of leading psychologists & therapists who have packaged some of these techniques into a series of mini workshops that you will be invited to attend throughout the day (TBA).

Each workshop will provide you with an overview of the technique, how it works, what's involved and what the success rates are.

You'll be left with a practical understanding of each therapy and enough information to make a choice about what's right for you.

Leading Light is not for profit and has been coordinated by previous sufferers.

Tickets will sell quickly so please book in advance.

Steve's Story

I can say that from personal experience, I had what's known as social anxiety all of my life, growing up painfully shy and then worsening in my late teens and early 20's. I felt like I didn't have a life at the time, it was near impossible for me to go into a job agency to look for work, I would stand outside looking through to see what the people looked like, my logic at the time was looking for "safe" people to speak to and the mostly good-looking female recruitment consultants were unsafe and terrifying for me.

I found my self being totally jumbled talking over the phone, trying to get my point across but feeling totally restricted and then of course beating myself up mentally afterwards.

I was in a total vicious circle:
My life was a vicious circle.

I went for years feeling this way and felt stuck in this vicious cycle, then I found the support and guidance that I needed.

Now I am being a stand for you all, to inspire, influence, guide and support you all!
