I was very anxious before my first session. I have a stutter, so my anxiety made it even worse. James was awesome and gave me the tools I needed to stay calm and overcome the trauma I felt from my stuttering experiences in the past. The sessions exceeded my expectations.

My stutter had reached a point where it was holding me back at work and wouldn’t even allow me to talk to my girlfriend. I saw James as a last resort and oh how I wished I’d done it sooner! After two sessions, my stutter was 80% gone. After a month of using the techniques myself it had all but vanished.”

I took my son to see James for help with his stammer. At the end of both sessions, my 13-year-old burst into song, and the joy he is experiencing with his new found fluency is palpable. The impact of James’ work has been life-changing.

Hypnotherapy for Stuttering in London, Online and in Hampshire

Helping people who stutter and stammer is truly one of the most profoundly rewarding treatments I offer. Most of the time, they are able to speak far more clearly after just one or two sessions – which can be life-changing.

It’s one of the reasons why I offer hypnotherapy for stuttering as one of my key treatment options.

Stuttering and speech difficulty affects people in several ways and is often more pronounced in times of stress.

In many cases, stuttering starts in childhood, but a stammer can also be prevalent through adult life and can lead to further complications, including psychological or emotional problems, such as social anxiety, low self esteem and emotional or psychological problems.

I look forward to helping you be calmer and more relaxed.

Underlying issues for stuttering

I help people with hypnotherapy for stuttering when there are underlying reasons behind it.

In cases when stuttering is caused by developmental delays, genetics, a neurological condition or brain injuries, alternative forms of treatment and speech therapy may be a more appropriate solution.

But when an emotional trauma, social anxiety or stress are the underlying cause, hypnotherapy can often help. I can also help stutterers who are sometimes able to talk more clearly with some people than others.

Although the impact of stuttering differs from person to person, people who stutter frequently become fixated on the idea that they are about to stutter and then do so – so that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The answer, as actress Emily Blunt found after encountering problems with stuttering in her youth, is to find a way off that path.

No longer negatively affected

For Emily, the secret was to pretend to be an actress. By replying to a question not as herself but as someone else, she was able to find a clear and lucid voice.

For a less drastic solution, hypnotherapy can help you to stop being negatively affected by your speech.

At the moment, I am also offering 10% off all treatment solutions to help people through the current cost of living crisis. Hypnotherapy sessions can take place in person (in London or Winchester) or via Zoom. Please get in touch today for more details.

I look forward to helping you stop stuttering soon.

About stuttering and stammering

Stuttering is a type of communication disorder that manifests itself in different ways. Neurological research has shown that people who stutter process speech and language slightly differently than those who do not stutter

Ultimately, stuttering affects people differently, as some may elongate a soft/vowel sound within a word. Other times, people who stutter will get stuck on a specific single consonant and struggle to complete the word.

Opinions vary on whether or not stuttering is caused by psychological/emotional problems, but from my own experience I believe that underlying tension can be a key part of the problem. If you have a natural tendency to stutter – if this ‘anticipatory anxiety’ is hard-wired – then I have heard from sufferers that it gets worse when they are feeling anxious or are in uncomfortable social situations.

The NHS website seems to back this up, stating that “creating an environment where your child feels more relaxed and confident about talking” and “working on feelings associated with stammering, such as fear and anxiety” can help.

How hypnotherapy for stuttering can help

When you book an appointment, we’ll ask you to complete some pre-session work which tells us a lot about the history of your stammering.  We’ll also ask you to keep a log of when you stutter, making a note of what was happening, who you were with, what you were feeling and possibly what you were saying in your head.

The problem is often anxiety-based and may arise from a specific incident. We can help you deal with that incident to make sure it loses its emotional impact.

We may also need to work on any negative beliefs or negative self-talk which you may have which make your problem worse.

During hypnosis, you’ll also learn very powerful relaxation techniques that you can use at any time after the hypnosis session has finished. This is important, because if you’re calm you can’t be anxious at the same time.

By addressing the underlying cause of the stutter and also putting in some very powerful conscious and unconscious coping strategies, we can often help people get off the stuttering merry-go-round that is making life miserable.

I give my experience of hypnotherapy with James 10/10

Dame Kelly Holmes

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?

The first thing we’ll do is have a complimentary exploratory phone call, lasting up to 20 minutes.

Before your actual session, you’ll fill in a detailed questionnaire that will help me understand your history and patterns of stuttering. This allows me to tailor your treatment plan and ensures that the time you spend in the session itself is used as effectively as possible.

Over the course of your 90-minute session, you will feel calm and in control, and I’ll use a combination of the most effective modern and classic hypnotherapeutic tools and techniques.

How to book your hypnotherapy session

Hopefully, you now feel reassured about the hypnotherapy process – and feel ready to take the next step to become stutter-free. Whether you are looking for a hypnotherapist in London, in Winchester or for an online session, my highly professional approach means that, in most cases, you’ll need only a single session or a couple of sessions to be better.

Each session will be 90-minutes long. This means we achieve so much more than you can in the traditional 50-minute ‘therapy hour’ that most therapists provide. For many clients, online hypnotherapy sessions are the quickest and easiest way to address a specific problem and to get the treatment they need.

I will put 100% effort into working with you and the techniques that I use are very powerful. As with all therapy types, success varies from client to client and there can be no guarantees. In fact, I’d recommend running a mile from a hypnotherapist who says they offer a guarantee.

Here’s to you becoming an ex-stutterer.

Why choose me as your hypnotherapist

I became a hypnotherapist because of a life-changing hypnotherapy session of my own in 2006. This helped me to re-find myself and discover new hope. So, whatever you’re feeling now, I’ve been in a similar place.
Experience
I am an expert at dealing with stuttering and have completed more than 5,000 sessions of advanced hypnotherapy.
Chemistry
I only work with clients that I believe I can help, want to help and have a good chemistry with.
Speed
Most clients need just one or two sessions to see a significant improvement. This is quicker than virtually any other therapist.
Reassurance
I am one of the UK’s most reviewed therapists. More than 90% of clients give me a 5-star review.
Trust
Before I saw my very first client more than a decade ago, I had completed more than 1,000 hours of training. Unfortunately, anyone can call themselves a therapist without any training. Do not put your mental health in the hands of amateurs.

My son has been feeling pretty desperate trying to navigate his life both in and out of school with a stammer. I was confiding in a close friend and she said ‘you absolutely must see James Mallinson’ and so we did. My son is 13 and because he is a child still my presence was required and I had the good fortune of being able to observe the sessions. I was immediately struck by how gentle and kind James is and noticed how he listened intently and patiently, even when my son was finding it extremely difficult to get his words out. James used brilliant analogies and told us fascinating anecdotes to drive home the science about how our brains work and why mindset matters; he also taught my son a number of very simple and effective techniques to calm his anxiety and change his internal dialogue. It was clear to me that James really knows his stuff and he kept my son fully engaged throughout both sessions with an enthralling mixture of knowledge, humour and humanity. I am blown away by the impact James has had on my son, he is speaking much more freely now and is so much happier. At the end of both sessions he burst into song and the joy he is experiencing with his new found fluency is palpable. He is keen to practice everything he has learned from James because he has already experience such a huge shift. If you are thinking about working with James go for it he is a wonderful man and the impact his work has had on my son is life-changing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your most commonly-asked questions about stuttering here.

Hypnotherapy works by 'rewiring' the mind so that it changes the way it reacts to whatever is bothering you. As an example, it can stop the brain from going into panicky 'fight or flight' mode when you're standing up to present to a group of people which, for many people who stutter, can help to dial down the stammer or eradicate it completely.

People often choose me because of my experience (I have now completed more than 5,000 hypnotherapy sessions with clients); my approach (I am personable and focused, and I only want to work with people I wholeheartedly believe I can help); my training (totalling more than 2,000 hours); and my results (I am highly results focused and want you to feel like you can move on from whatever is holding you back in the fewest possible sessions).

It depends on your background and what we have used in previous sessions, if applicable. As well as clinical hypnotherapy, the four main tools at my disposal are Havening, Time Line Therapy, NLP and TFT.

I have enjoyed considerable success with all of these, both individually and in a variety of different combinations.

Given the current cost of living crisis, I am offering 10% off my standard fee. A potentially life-changing 1-1 session with me today costs just £320 +VAT per 90-minute session (most hypnotherapists' sessions are only 50 minutes long).

There is no extra fee for my pre-prep work, such as my analysis of your pre-session briefing questionnaire.

Additionally, every new client benefits from a free 20-minute consultation by phone.

Booking is really easy – please just fill in the contact form, or call me on freephone 0800 122 3073.
