Adults
Some of our therapists are also very experienced in working with adults with specific communication needs. Please do have a look at the list below to see if we can support you.
Our dysfluency lead and many of our therapists are experienced in supporting children and adults who stammer. Our approach can be a mixture of management strategies, environmental support and psychological approaches. Therapy supports you as an individual, increasing confidence in social communication environments.
All of our voice patients have been checked by an ENT consultant first. This rules out the need for medical management. We support adults with muscle tension dysphonia, a 'lump in the throat' feeling, and frequent throat clearing. Following therapy, your throat should feel comfortable and have an improved voice quality.
Articulation errors can be present since childhood or be acquired through tongue or mouth surgery. Often, adults come to us because they feel self-conscious. Our therapy is an articulation approach that ensures you can produce the sound(s) in the way you wish. We also use personal goal setting so that you feel confident in the situations previously a concern.
We support young people and adults to communicate effectively, in line with their other abilities. Targets are often around them self-advocating, getting their needs and wishes met, but also to have meaningful and rewarding social interactions. We operate a Total Communication approach where other forms of communication and strategies are encouraged.
