Maria McGrath
My name is Maria McGrath. My earliest memory of stuttering was at school when I was approximately 5 years old. My earliest memory of stuttering was when I was about age 6, standing in front of the class struggling to say something and all the grown-up kids were laughing at me. My stutter held me back […]

Fear. Permanent, unstoppable fear of any speaking situation. Having the nasty voice inside my head saying “you will stammer”, “you embarrass yourself”, “how stupid do you look”, “see everyone noticing and laughing because of your stutter”.. And so many other negative self-destroying thoughts. My stammer began when I was little, my native language is Spanish […]

Emmet O’Connell

I’ve had the opportunity to be interviewed by local and national newspapers, I’ve been on national and local radio stations on numerous occasions and I’ve appeared on television talk shows, both live and pre-recorded.
Joe O Donnell, find out how I’m helping 100’s of people who stutter in Ireland.
Hiding in the background was an all to common behaviour as was saying ‘yes’ when I really wanted to say ‘no’ and foolishly believing that very few people knew that I was a person who stutters or stammers. Now the roles are reversed, I no longer hide my stutter and I’m now helping people who […]
Daniel Kusk
At my first day interview when I joined The McGuire Programme, it took me 40 seconds to say my name. I will say that I was a very severe stammerer before McGuire. I’m still a stammerer, but a proud one . . . with this McGuire technique, I can show people who I really am. […]
Denis Wright, Now a Stutter Coach after his 1st course in 2014
Denis Wright, Stutter Coach and now Regional Director of Australia and New Zealand. Ever since I remember I have had a stutter – unfortunately for me, I liked to talk a lot. Although I can’t say stuttering held me back too much, looking back at it now, I can see how it did restrict me […]
