Maybe you went to the wrong psychologist, Gestalt therapy can also help, as the problem is probably rooted in childhood. Management coaching can help with the fear of publicity if you go to a specialist. As far as I know, Darren Chastney has management coaching https://darrenchastney.com/services/management-coaching/ as one of his specialties, in addition to translation. You can arrange your schedule with him and either meet him in Bratislava for sessions or do them online at a convenient time. Since he has more than 25 years of experience, he will help you not to be afraid of public speaking and to be confident when defending your research paper.

I have a strong phobia of public speaking since childhood. I went to a psychologist, but it did not bring the desired result. I am still very scared, and I have to defend a serious scientific paper soon. Can management coaching help with fear of the public speaking?
