Testimonials
“Our teenage son has benefitted greatly from working with Philip - his aim in therapy is not to get rid of the stutter but to work with it and look at tips and tricks to help lessen it, and to talk openly around it. Since working with Philip our son’s confidence has grown and he is no longer embarrassed about telling other people that he stutters. He is now in the process of applying for university places and we will be coming back to Philip for some help with interviews when the time comes.”
— Victor and Charlotte, parents of 17 year old boy, London
“I originally came to Phil for some interview coaching for a new role I was applying for in the Civil Service. Interviews have always been very difficult for me. The first thing we looked at was Costal Breathing and some strategies to help me speak a bit more fluently, but the thing that really helped was encouragement in disclosing my stammer before the interview. Really pleased to say I landed the job and have been here for 6 months now! I’ve even connected with 2 other people in the same organisation and we plan to start our own support group soon. Thanks Phil for all your help!!”

“As parents of a girl who stammers we have found it difficult to get her to talk openly about it or seek help. Our initial session with Phil was very reassuring, and he made it clear that Jess was in charge of her therapy and how it should go. She always looks forward to her sessions and tells us that they talk a lot about music and films!!! She says the breathing exercises help, but she chooses not to practise them too much. Phil is keen for her to join one of his online group sessions for teenagers, she’s not quite ready yet but we will continue to encourage her to join. Thank you Phil for everything you’ve done to help Jess.”
— Laura and Ismael, parents of 14 year old girl, Oxfordshire
“Mr Philip always makes our online sessions very enjoyable, we practise fluency and then talk about football using them. I hope we can continue working together in person when I move to London for my university degree.”

“Philip is highly professional in his work. He is a good listener, and manages to create an environment which is simultaneously professional and personal by making his clients feel safe and comfortable with expressing their opinions, problems etc.What I also find very important is that instead of merely pushing strategies on the client, Philip listens to and collaborates with his clients, working towards a coping strategy that will work for the client. His work is collaborative and cooperative. I would highly recommend Phil as a speech and language therapist to anyone with any level of stammer, language or speech difficulties.”

“As parents of a teenage boy living overseas we are delighted see the development of the Stammering Centre. Our son, George regularly skypes with Philip Robinson, which is proving most helpful. The Stammering Centre located centrally in London creates an ideal base for George and Philip to periodically experience face to face time. We look forward to the Stammering Centre's plans for teenagers to come together and engage in such a non-threatening way. We wish the Centre every success.”
