Helping people who stutter and stammer is truly one of the most profoundly rewarding treatments I offer. Most of the time, they are able to speak far more clearly after just one or two sessions – which can be life-changing.
It’s one of the reasons why I offer hypnotherapy for stuttering as one of my key treatment options.
Stuttering and speech difficulty affects people in several ways and is often more pronounced in times of stress.
In many cases, stuttering starts in childhood, but a stammer can also be prevalent through adult life and can lead to further complications, including psychological or emotional problems, such as social anxiety, low self esteem and emotional or psychological problems.
I look forward to helping you be calmer and more relaxed.

I help people with hypnotherapy for stuttering when there are underlying reasons behind it.
In cases when stuttering is caused by developmental delays, genetics, a neurological condition or brain injuries, alternative forms of treatment and speech therapy may be a more appropriate solution.
But when an emotional trauma, social anxiety or stress are the underlying cause, hypnotherapy can often help. I can also help stutterers who are sometimes able to talk more clearly with some people than others.
Although the impact of stuttering differs from person to person, people who stutter frequently become fixated on the idea that they are about to stutter and then do so – so that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The answer, as actress Emily Blunt found after encountering problems with stuttering in her youth, is to find a way off that path.
For Emily, the secret was to pretend to be an actress. By replying to a question not as herself but as someone else, she was able to find a clear and lucid voice.
For a less drastic solution, hypnotherapy can help you to stop being negatively affected by your speech.
At the moment, I am also offering 10% off all treatment solutions to help people through the current cost of living crisis. Hypnotherapy sessions can take place in person (in London or Winchester) or via Zoom. Please get in touch today for more details.
I look forward to helping you stop stuttering soon.

Stuttering is a type of communication disorder that manifests itself in different ways. Neurological research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language slightly differently than those who do not stutter
Ultimately, stuttering affects people differently, as some may elongate a soft/vowel sound within a word. Other times, people who stutter will get stuck on a specific single consonant and struggle to complete the word.
Opinions vary on whether or not stuttering is caused by psychological/emotional problems, but from my own experience I believe that underlying tension can be a key part of the problem. If you have a natural tendency to stutter – if this ‘anticipatory anxiety’ is hard-wired – then I have heard from sufferers that it gets worse when they are feeling anxious or are in uncomfortable social situations.
The NHS website seems to back this up, stating that “creating an environment where your child feels more relaxed and confident about talking” and “working on feelings associated with stammering, such as fear and anxiety” can help.
When you book an appointment, we’ll ask you to complete some pre-session work which tells us a lot about the history of your stammering. We’ll also ask you to keep a log of when you stutter, making a note of what was happening, who you were with, what you were feeling and possibly what you were saying in your head.
The problem is often anxiety-based and may arise from a specific incident. We can help you deal with that incident to make sure it loses its emotional impact.
We may also need to work on any negative beliefs or negative self-talk which you may have which make your problem worse.
During hypnosis, you’ll also learn very powerful relaxation techniques that you can use at any time after the hypnosis session has finished. This is important, because if you’re calm you can’t be anxious at the same time.
By addressing the underlying cause of the stutter and also putting in some very powerful conscious and unconscious coping strategies, we can often help people get off the stuttering merry-go-round that is making life miserable.
The first thing we’ll do is have a complimentary exploratory phone call, lasting up to 20 minutes.
Before your actual session, you’ll fill in a detailed questionnaire that will help me understand your history and patterns of stuttering. This allows me to tailor your treatment plan and ensures that the time you spend in the session itself is used as effectively as possible.
Over the course of your 90-minute session, you will feel calm and in control, and I’ll use a combination of the most effective modern and classic hypnotherapeutic tools and techniques.
Hopefully, you now feel reassured about the hypnotherapy process – and feel ready to take the next step to become stutter-free. Whether you are looking for a hypnotherapist in London, in Winchester or for an online session, my highly professional approach means that, in most cases, you’ll need only a single session or a couple of sessions to be better.
Each session will be 90-minutes long. This means we achieve so much more than you can in the traditional 50-minute ‘therapy hour’ that most therapists provide. For many clients, online hypnotherapy sessions are the quickest and easiest way to address a specific problem and to get the treatment they need.
