Performance Coaching
When it works in the practice room – but suddenly doesn't in front of other people.
Stage fright, performance pressure, and self-doubt can make abilities that are already well established suddenly feel unavailable when they matter most.
This is not just about thoughts. Performance situations can trigger automatic physical and emotional responses – from inner tension and muscle tightness to the feeling of losing control over things that normally happen naturally.
My work focuses on understanding these responses and changing them so that what you have already developed becomes accessible again under pressure.
How I Can Help
- Stage fright and performance anxiety
- Nervousness before concerts, auditions, or exams
- Performance pressure and excessively high expectations of yourself
- Self-doubt and negative expectations
- Physical stress responses while performing
- Difficulty concentrating under pressure
- Distressing experiences from previous performances
- Greater confidence and trust in your own abilities
How I Work
Performance difficulties rarely exist only in the mind. Thoughts, emotions, breathing, muscle tension, perception, and learned responses all influence one another.
For that reason, I don't work with a single method or a fixed formula. Depending on the situation, mental work, body-oriented awareness, hypnotic methods, and practical work with the performance situation itself can be combined.
The goal is not to eliminate nervousness completely. A certain degree of activation is a natural part of performing. What matters is that it no longer prevents you from accessing the abilities you already have.
From a Musician's Perspective
I have spent many years performing professionally and teaching instrumental students. This means I know performance pressure not only from a therapeutic or theoretical perspective, but from everyday life as a musician – from rehearsals and concerts to exams, auditions, and those situations in which something simply has to work when the moment comes.

Before your first session, I offer a brief, free introductory consultation. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what you would like to work on, answer any questions, and determine whether my approach is right for you.
Each session is tailored to your individual needs.
