Speech Therapy With Piers Day
You’ve learned how to live with it. The pause. The tension. The word that won’t come out. You’ve shaped your life around your stutter or stammer without even realising it. Switching words mid-sentence. Avoiding names. Laughing it off when it gets stuck. Keeping the shame quiet when no one else is looking.
Maybe you’ve told yourself it’s just who you are. Maybe you’ve even embraced it — and that deserves respect. You’ve come a long way. But if you’re honest, it still holds something back. That flicker of panic before a meeting. That voice in your head when you have to introduce yourself. The avoidance of speaking up, not because you don’t have something to say, but because you’re not sure your voice will come with you.
You might be leading a team, building a business, or just trying to feel confident in a room — and still find yourself nervous about saying your own name. Or it might be simpler moments. Ordering food. Taking a call. Starting a conversation. They all take more energy than they should. Quiet, tiring moments of tension that wear you down bit by bit.
You’ve done brilliantly to manage it. But what if you didn’t have to manage it anymore? What if your speech just flowed — without overthinking, without rehearsing, without the fear creeping in?
Stuttering isn’t just about how you speak. It’s about how safe you feel when you speak. Somewhere along the way, your system learned that talking came with risk. Maybe you were judged. Maybe you were laughed at. Maybe someone rushed you or cut you off. And your body made a decision — that silence felt safer than stumbling.
What I offer isn’t about forcing fluency. It’s about creating safety on the inside. I use a gentle mix of hypnotherapy, subconscious release, and nervous system work to help unstick the patterns that keep your words locked up. We calm the part of you that freezes before you speak. We release the tension that builds in your chest. And we allow your voice to rise naturally, without the pressure, without the panic.
Most clients say the same thing: they stop thinking about talking. They stop rehearsing every word. They just speak. They say their name without fear. They speak in meetings. They ask for what they need. They feel present in conversations instead of hiding in them. And for many, that shift is more than just speech — it’s freedom.
This work isn’t about sounding perfect. It’s about feeling free. Whether you want to speak more confidently at work, in social situations, or just in front of the mirror, that’s possible. And it starts with quiet, one-to-one support. No pressure. No expectations. Just honest work — either online or in-person at my peaceful therapy space in Bury St Edmunds.
If you’re ready to let go of what’s been holding your voice back, I’m here to help you find your flow.
