Therapy for People Who Stutter

When I lived in the UK, I was a stuttering specialist for adults and children at Croydon Community Health Trust. I have extensive experience in stuttering therapy from having worked there and at the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children, the City Lit, and Enfield Community Health Trust. 

Last year, I taught the Fluency Disorder Course within the Master's of Science Speech-Language Pathology program at Dalhousie University. 

I treat both children, teens and adults who stutter.

Approaches (click on links for further information: 

• Lidcombe Training for pre-school stutterers
• Palin Parent-Child Interaction Therapy
• Dealing with negative thoughts and bullying
• Stuttering therapy for adults based on cognitive approaches 
• Avoidance reduction with real life training
• Speech techniques to increase fluent speech

For people who stutter, I also recommend self-advocacy groups and resources: 
​The podcast Stuttertalk is invaluable. 
The Canadian Stuttering Association gives support for people who stutter in Canada.
The Support Group for People Who Stutter meets twice monthly on Tuesday night at Dalhousie University.
