Group therapy classes to help you manage your stammer.
Our approach
Our stammering therapy clients enrol as students who engage in a process of learning. We believe that this encourages an active approach to change which is essential to successful stammering therapy. Also, working in education means that we are able to offer group work, and for most people who stammer we see this as a positive choice.
By the end of your course our aims are for you to:
use strategies to manage your stammering more easily
reduce the tension that accompanies stuttering
have a clear understanding of stammering and its causes
have identified your own particular pattern of stammering
have identified and worked on reducing unhelpful thoughts, feelings and avoidance strategies
say what you want
speak up in situations you may previously have avoided
This is a powerful approach to therapy. You'll learn to work more effectively with negative thoughts and feelings through acceptance and mindfulness work. You'll also learn how to identify, and move towards, valued goals and directions in your life. If you are new to us, you need to have some advice on the course suitability. Please mail speechtherapy@citylit.ac.uk to arrange this.
This course will be delivered online. See the ‘What is the course about?’ section in course details for more information.
