Group Therapy for Adults

Group Therapy for Adults

Maximum attendance: 6

When?
Monday evenings, online

Adult groups tend to be themed each month, eg for those working in the same professions, or for people from similar backgrounds. Our aim for each group is that we have more than just stammering in common.

The format for adult groups is quite straightforward. We’ll each go round and introduce ourselves (I’ll start), and say whereabouts in the world we’re calling from

We’ll then go round and give a little bit of background on our education, work history, and where we currently are in our careers

The conversation will then move on to stammering. We’ll each give a history of our stammer - when it started, how it presents, any previous experiences of Speech Therapy or residential courses, self-help groups etc

As each participant describes their experiences, one or two common themes will emerge, which I’ll encourage some further discussion around. Regular themes include job interviews, dating, and disclosure

We ask that you make sure to attend group sessions away from earshot of any other people in your home, as participants are likely to be sharing very candid details of their personal experiences. All information shared during group sessions is treated in the strictest of confidence.
