I’m Alison Nicholas, a speech and language therapist with a passion for working with children, young people, and adults who stammer. With a career spanning over 30 years, I’ve worked with many individuals to make talking easier, further develop their communication skills and to boost their confidence to communicate.​

​

For the majority of my career, I was part of the world-renowned Michael Palin Centre for Stammering in London, where I worked as a senior therapist. This experience gave me the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research, co-author a leading textbook (Palin Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for Early Childhood Stammering) on stammering therapy, and present at conferences across the globe.

Now, I'm based in Cardiff, offering highly specialist therapy both in-person and online. Whether you're in Cardiff or anywhere else in the UK, my online sessions allow you to access expert support from the comfort of your own home, making it easier than ever to get the support you need.​ I can offer therapy in both Welsh and English.

 

I’m passionate about ensuring everyone has access to the right tools and support to become confident and effective communicators, no matter their age or where they are on their journey. Whether it's early intervention for young children or helping adults overcome lifelong challenges, I’m here to guide you.

Alison's approach is incredibly professional and completely bespoke to our son's needs. Her knowledge and experience is extremely reassuring and her personal, caring approach has worked wonders for our child's confidence and self-esteem. Having the sessions in our own home is also a definite plus as it allowed our fairly shy son to feel instantly comfortable and at ease. I can't recommend Alison highly enough.
