We're here for you

We're here to answer your questions, listen and help you find information. Chat with us online or over the phone to:

  • talk about what's on your mind
  • find out about therapy & courses
  • get support for you or your child
  • practise talking more, or practise a technique
  • talk through a job interview
  • gain confidence on the phone
  • talk about worries at work, school, uni, etc
  • speak with us even if you just fancy a chat!

Nervous about reaching out?

Try not to be nervous; we get what it's like to stammer. Our services are staffed by trained volunteers who either stammer themselves or have a close connection to it.  

So take as long as you need. If you block at the start of the call, don't hang up. We'll wait for you.

If we're closed

If you're calling out of our opening hours but need help now, take a look at our Stammering Help or About Stammering sections. Hopefully they'll answer your questions.

How did we do?

Give us your feedback. Any comments or suggestions will help us improve our support services.
