Communicate, don’t just speak.
Voice & Speech Coaching
Rooted in real expertise, designed for real results.
Speaking with authority and confidence isn’t just about the words you choose — it’s about how your mind, body, and voice work together. That’s the foundation of my approach.
With an MA in Voice Studies from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and over 15 years of teaching and coaching experience, I help professionals find their natural presence, clarity, and gravitas in any situation — from high-stakes presentations to everyday meetings. Trusted by companies like Disney, Meta, Santander, The FT and UCL I can bring my unique expertise to help you be a better speaker.
If nerves are holding you back, I bring in tools from positive psychology and mindfulness to help you shift your inner dialogue, manage anxiety, and speak with ease. My goal is to give you practical techniques and lasting confidence so you can thrive at work, connect with your audience, and make the impact you want.

“I highly recommend Jude at Speaking Works to anyone looking to gain more confidence with public speaking! Jude offered expert guidance and so many tips, strategies and exercises to really help beat the nerves and speak with confidence.”
Lucy from a 2025 group cohort which included two 1:1 sessions. 
“Had an introductory session with Jude and was blown away by her passion and depth of knowledge of her field.
She is a strong advocate for science backed approaches which was a concern of mine beforehand.
Even after the first session I feel I have some tools to take away and out into practice / will be booking follow up sessions soon..”
Sam E - Brighton“Jude was an incredible trainer who provided clear, practical examples that could be applied immediately. Her natural ability to put you at ease makes it so much easier to get the most out of sessions that might otherwise feel daunting. Would highly recommend for any level!.”
Anneka Valmy-Devillers - Finn Partners
“It’s been a while since I was last in touch, but I just wanted to start the new year with a massive thanks for the work we did together last year. My confidence to speak up in working settings has grown considerably both internally with the team and externally with stakeholders (dare I say I find myself actually enjoying it?). I find myself coming back to a lot of the techniques I learnt and my confidence has been noticed by others in the team as well. I was promoted to a more senior role – which for me has just highlighted how much of a difference your support made last year – it was so game changing.”

1:1 Coaching
In today’s fast-paced, often remote work environment, clear and confident communication is more important than ever. I work with individuals who want to strengthen their presence, find their authentic voice, and speak with authority — whether that’s in meetings, presentations, or high-stakes conversations.
My coaching integrates the mind, body, and voice, giving you practical tools and experiential exercises that shift old habits and build lasting confidence. We’ll focus on the areas that matter most to you: clarity, impact, managing nerves, and developing a speaking style that feels both natural and effective.
Whether you’re just starting your career or stepping into senior leadership, if you feel your communication skills are holding you back, I can help.
Sessions are available in Brighton & Hove, online, or as part of a tailored corporate package.
