1-1 Therapy
for children aged 3-11 years who stammer, and their families, nurseries & schools
1-1 Services: one-off information sessions
If you’re not sure where to start, want to understand more about stammering and how to help your child, or are worried about the cost of 1-1 therapy, a one-off information session is a good option. I can visit you at home.
we’ll talk about your child’s stammer and overall development and any worries you may be experiencing. I’ll explain what stammering is, why it can happen, and how you can use general strategies to support your child at home.
a child-led discussion about your child’s own thoughts and feelings about their stammer and if they have any worries. I may use stories, drawings, a short questionnaire with pictures, and toys to support our discussion.
I’ll provide you with a resources pack to use at home for you and your child. E.g., top tips for all the family, wellbeing journal pages, emotional regulation activities, self-advocacy exercises.
In some cases, I may advise some further assessment of your child’s speech sounds, understanding, and/or use of spoken language. You can ask your GP or your child’s nursery/school to help you make a referral to NHS services or you may look for an independent therapist.
