What our clients say
“After just one week of LSVT LOUD, my friends had commented on how strong my voice was sounding, and I already felt more confident.”
— LSVT LOUD client
Could LSVT LOUD help you?
Parkinson’s can affect speech and voice in different ways. LSVT LOUD may be suitable if you recognise any of the following changes in yourself or someone you love:
voice becoming quieter
difficulty being heard in conversations
speech becoming less clear
increased difficulty speaking in groups or social situations
speech becoming faster or words running together
wanting to maintain a strong voice and confident communication
LSVT LOUD is an evidence-based treatment specifically designed to help people with Parkinson’s use a stronger, clearer voice in everyday communication.
WHAT DOES LSVT LOUD® INVOLVE?
LSVT LOUD is the most extensively researched speech treatment for people with Parkinson’s. Our specialist speech and language therapists are certified to deliver the programme.
We start with a specialist assessment to understand you as a whole person — your voice and communication, your individual symptoms and what matters most to you. We then work with you to agree a treatment plan that meets your needs and goals.
The LSVT LOUD programme takes place over four weeks:
16 one-hour therapy sessions
4 sessions per week for 4 weeks
Short daily home practice
Online across the UK or face-to-face in North Hertfordshire
Appointments available 7 days a week to accommodate different schedules
LSVT LOUD is intensive, but our clients often tell us they enjoy the sessions. One-to-one therapy allows for individual coaching, with sessions tailored around your interests and everyday communication needs.
After completing the programme, you continue with short daily practice to help maintain your progress.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AFTER LSVT LOUD?
Following LSVT LOUD, many people notice meaningful improvements in their everyday communication. You may find that you:
feel more confident speaking with others
are able to speak loudly enough to be heard
don’t need to repeat yourself as often
can join in group conversations more easily
are better understood by family and friends
become better at recognising when your voice is too quiet
The aim is for the stronger voice you practise in therapy to carry over into everyday life — whether you’re talking with family, meeting friends, speaking on the phone or ordering a coffee.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
‘‘To begin with I was quite sceptical about the whole thing. After all I had been speaking for 60 odd years and surely I could sort this problem out myself? Nevertheless I was encouraged by my wife to give it a go and I was very glad I did. I was converted by the first session. Veronica and Tor were brilliant. They made the whole thing fun and the time flew by, with, I think a successful conclusion. I am not yet perfect but I am much improved and I can recognise when I am on low volume and mumble... with a bit more self work (and support is given) I can crack this. 100% recommended.’’
Grant Gleghorn - re LSVT LOUD treatment
“My family and grandchildren can’t believe the difference after just the first week.”
