Could this be right for me?
- I would like help with my stammer and am ready to invest time in coming to therapy.
- I would like a bit of help but I don’t think I need a 2-week group.
- I’m not free in July for the summer group.
- I would rather have therapy on my own than in a group.
What do I do next?

I have been to the MPC before
- If you are under 25 and have come here for therapy before you are eligible for up to 10 top-up sessions as a “‘returner”
- charitably-funded by Action for Stammering Children
- send in a referral saying that you are a returner

“The MPC ACT course has had an immediate impact on my practice as an SLT working with young people with a stammer. All the practical activities meant that I was able to implement elements of this approach literally the next day with empowering results for my teenage clients. Its emphasis on acceptance makes it an important resource for all therapists and essential for those working with people who stammer.”
