Adult Stammering Support
Adult stammering therapy is shaped entirely around your experiences, goals and communication needs. We explore your stammer in a way that is respectful, collaborative and grounded in what matters most to you. Through identifying what happens during moments of dysfluency, we gain a clearer understanding of both the physical patterns and the emotional responses that may be involved.
Therapy may also include desensitisation, fluency modification and space to consider the impact stammering has on confidence and communication day to day. Our aim is to help you feel more in control, more informed and ultimately more effective as a communicator, recognising that fluency is only one part of communication.
Frequently Asked Questions
We sit down with you to discuss your child’s history and ask questions such as:
• When did your child start stammering?
• Is there a family history of stammering?
• When is their speech smoothest or most bumpy?
• What already seems to help?
We assess receptive and expressive language skills and, when appropriate, ask your child about their experience of stammering. This helps us build a clear picture of their needs and make a tailored plan going forward.
Therapy is a partnership between you and your therapist. Lidcombe and Palin PCI are highly effective for younger children. Older children may use fluency shaping techniques and explore the feelings linked to stammering. The overall focus is to make therapy playful, engaging and meaningful so your child can understand their stammer and feel more confident.
We typically see children from around three years old. For younger children, therapy may centre on giving parents practical strategies and environmental adjustments that support fluency at home.

Therapy is tailored to each individual. A typical programme may include:
• Stammer identification exploring what happens physically and psychologically during a stammer
• Desensitisation addressing any feelings or behaviours linked to the stammer, especially helpful for covert stammerers
• Fluency modification working on fluency shaping and block modification
Because stammering is complex and unique to each person, we consider all contributing factors. The goal is to support you to become a more effective communicator overall.
We offer therapy at our Stratford clinic, 10 Harley Street, online or at your home or workplace.
