Body language

Our body language coaching

According to research, our words make up 7% of our message when we communicate with others. Our non-verbal communication is the most important part of our interactions, this includes body language, gestures, facial expressions and eye contact.

Our team of speech and language therapists are able to provide body language coaching. Our body language coaching can help develop techniques to present yourself confidently when using your voice and help develop appropriate body language for specific situations, for example, interviews.

What will body language coaching involve?

Body language training can be provided for individuals or as a group. An initial appointment will be booked with one of our speech and language therapists where you will be able to discuss your concerns and goals.

Dependent on the individual or group needs, a therapy programme or workshop will be developed by one of our specialist speech and language therapists aimed at meeting your aims, this could include:

• How to use appropriate eye contact.
• How to use gestures appropriately.
• How to use body language in different situations.
• Using body language through interviews.
