Empowering Voices: Tame Your Stammer
Stammering affects at least 1% of people in the UK—that’s over 600,000 individuals.
Empowering Voices, a UK charity focused on stammerers, is here to help.
If you’re one of them, we understand the challenges you face. While there’s no cure for stammering, there are effective ways to control it, and we’re here to help you control your stammer.
What We Offer
At Empowering Voices, we specialise in costal breathing, a proven approach that has helped many individuals transform their relationship with stammering. This technique has empowered people to speak confidently for decades, including well-known figures like Gareth Gates and Musharaf “Mushy” Asghar from Channel 4’s Stammer School, who inspired many through their journeys. We run three-day courses across the UK and provide free lifetime support.
Why Choose Us?
-
Community-Led Support: Our courses are led by people who stammer and use costal breathing daily to achieve fear-free speech.
-
Accessible and Affordable: The first course costs a modest fee, but all follow-up courses and ongoing support are free.
-
Charity-focused: We’re here to support you, not profit from you.
-
Relaxed and Informal: We aren’t a boot camp; our approach is welcoming and community-driven, helping you grow at your own pace.
-
A Holistic Approach to Speech Empowerment: We don’t just focus on traditional speech therapy at Empowering Voices - we offer so much more. Our approach addresses both the mechanics of speech and the psychological challenges of stammering.
You’re in Great Company
From Emily Blunt to Rowan Atkinson and social media advocate Jessie Yendle “Mimidarlingbeauty”, many public figures have openly shared their experiences and inspirational stammering stories. Each journey is unique, but the message is clear: your stammer doesn’t have to define you.
Take the First Step
Whether you’re just starting to explore ways to manage your stammer or are ready to try a new approach, Empowering Voices will guide you. Join our courses and become part of a supportive community that understands your journey and celebrates your progress.
Let us help you tame your stammer—your voice deserves to be heard.
UK costal breathing courses for stammerers are also available from the McGuire Programme and the Starfish Project; both are excellent organisations, although Empowering Voices is the UK’s only charity teaching this technique.
