Support for SHY DREAMERS, quiet creatives & reticent rebels.
Gutsy helps you navigate shyness, nerves
and social anxiety, so you can build confidence,
express yourself with ease, and thrive in connection
— without ever changing who you truly are ✨
(Zero corporate power-posing guaranteed!)
Shy is not the
opposite of brave.
It takes guts to be quiet in a blah blah blah world.
It takes spine to be an introvert in a society that celebrates fast talk, cheap chat and superficial charm.
I know you’ve got guts and spine in spades.
Gutsy can show you an easier way to allow your whole self to be seen and known, without pretending to be someone you’re not.
A playful and creative way to understand where you’re stuck, learn tools to quickly rewire old unhelpful behaviours and find your intuitive expression in any moment, so that you can sidestep the stories that drag you down and find new ones that raise you up.

Gutsy People
“I finished the course with a sense of quiet confidence. I encourage anyone who finds social interactions tough or struggles to find a confident inner voice to sign up. You’ll find people who you’ll relate to deeply and the kindest teacher who will give you all the tools you need to shine and lean into who you are.”
Lucy
“Susannah was so welcoming and encouraging. The workshop was gentle, moving at a natural pace, never forced or overwhelming. I learnt techniques that I have used every day since and I cannot wait to sign up for further workshops to continue exploring. If I was to sum it up in one word I would say freeing.”
Ruth
“I didn’t know how much I needed this course until I did it! I really see myself acting differently socially now, and creatively there has been a huge impact. Susannah is a knowledgeable, skilled and sensitive facilitator who creates a space where it feels okay to tackle thorny topics.”

Hi, I’m Susannah
I’m your gutsy guide, empowering shy dreamers to confidently embrace who you are and dissolve barriers to authentic self-expression and connection. I’m part punk cynic, part toddler entranced by the magic of the world! And I do this work with warmth, humour, creativity and sensitivity.
Gutsy can help you find ease and freedom in your expression, and overcome inhibitions through imaginative play, therapeutic drama and powerful neural rewiring practices.
A lifelong student of overcoming shyness and social anxiety, I think we should all get to have the skills to let others see, know, love and respect us.
As a whisper-voiced shy child (and teen, and young adult!), I struggled with low self-esteem and social anxiety. I learned how to build my capacity to handle fear, discomfort and uncertainty, and how to share my own expression and creativity, including through writing, music — and Gutsy!
If you’re a shy dreamer, with whole universes trapped inside, who’s sick of being stuck, and wants so much more, I invite you to take a gutsy step forwards.
