The service is suitable for any adult with a stammer for whom it’s causing a problem. The negative impact of stammering might include:

• not feeling able to express yourself in the way you would like
• feeling held back or discriminated against at work
• avoiding conversations, social situations, phone calls, ordering food etc.

• Personalised therapy sessions which can be face to face or via video link.
• Individualised notes and action plans to support your progress between appointments.
• Assessment at first appointment and end of therapy to measure impact.
• Other benefits include, if appropriate, putting clients in touch with other clients with a stammer to provide ongoing support to one another.
