Is It Too Late for Speech Therapy? (Hint: It’s Not!)

Is It Too Late for Speech Therapy? (Hint: It’s Not!)

Have you ever thought:

“It’s been too long — therapy won’t help now.”
“I already had speech therapy and it didn’t work.”
“I’ve plateaued, so what’s the point?”

If so, you’re not alone.
Many people believe that speech therapy has a “window of time” — and if you miss it, that’s it.

But here’s the truth:
It’s not too late.

With the right approach, you can still make progress, even months or years after your diagnosis or injury.

“Why Bother Now?”

Whether you’ve had a stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s, or another neurological condition, it’s common to feel discouraged — especially if:

• You’ve had limited NHS therapy that ended quickly

• You were told progress would stop after a certain point

• You’ve been struggling on your own without support

But research — and real-life results — show that recovery can continue well beyond the early stages.
Especially with personalised, ongoing therapy that focuses on your real-life goals.

What If I’ve Already Had Therapy?

Many clients come to us saying:

“I had therapy before, but it didn’t do much.”

That’s often because NHS services are stretched, with short blocks of therapy and little follow-up.

Our approach is different:

• We take the time to understand your goals

• Therapy is tailored, not one-size-fits-all

• Sessions are focused on practical changes — like speaking to your partner, ordering a coffee, or joining in a conversation

• We offer ongoing support, because recovery doesn’t stop after 6 weeks

So When Is the Right Time?

Now.

The sooner you start, the sooner you can:

• Regain confidence in your voice

• Reconnect with the people you love

• Enjoy daily life without the fear of not being understood

• Feel like you again

Even if it’s been months or years, progress is possible — and therapy can be adapted to wherever you are in your journey.
