Speech-Language Therapy training is now offered at :

Canterbury University

Auckland University

Massey University

 For details of upcoming courses, contact the Speech-Language Therapy Department at the university. 

Information on other methods of therapy are available from the internet. Not all of those therapies will be effective. 

Other approaches that may prove helpful are psychotherapy, stress management, assertiveness training, confidence building, speech making (e.g. Toastmasters and Tecorians), hypnosis and the Alexander technique. Activities that stress breathing techniques may help in a peripheral way, such as yoga, swimming, singing, wind instrument playing and drama.
