UK based Psychotherapists?

UK based Psychotherapists? Hello, does anyone here know any UK based psychotherapists that specialise in stuttering? Im looking through UKCP and other sites but stuttering/speech isn't an option. Than...

I had a similar backstory to yours where my stutter showed up around age 12 as well. Started mild but got significantly worse overtime. I think speech therapy is kind of the by-product of there being ...

My advice would be to get them to see a speech therapist who specialises in stuttering. The earlier the better! I wish my parents did that for me, but back in the 70s stuttering wasn’t very well und...

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, and believe me, I’ve been through those moments too. To be honest, that mindset is not helpful at all. You need to take control of your stutter and your life. Go se...

My son (11) did benefit from some speech therapy. He learned about stuttering and some different strategies to help him get thru blocks. I think most of all it helped his confidence and that has helpe...
