Stuttering Therapy Services
When words get stuck, it’s not just speech that’s affected—it’s confidence, social connections, and everyday interactions. At Speech With Miss Kate, we understand that stuttering is about more than just fluency. It’s about feeling heard, understood, and valued, regardless of how the words come out.
Understanding Stuttering
Stuttering can present itself in many ways:
- Repetitions of sounds, syllables, or words
- Prolongations of sounds
- Blocks where no sound comes out
- Associated physical tensions
But beyond these visible signs, stuttering often carries hidden challenges:
- Anxiety about speaking situations
- Avoidance of certain words or social situations
- Impact on self-confidence and self-expression
- Emotional stress for both the individual and family
Our Approach to Stuttering
We combine evidence-based techniques with a supportive, understanding environment. Our speech therapy doesn’t just focus on fluency—it addresses the whole person and their unique experience with stuttering.
