OK, to start with I would like to introduce myself; I am Steve Hill and I run The How To Stop Stuttering Centre here in England. I am a former stutterer that has been fluent for the last fourteen years. As a career I now help people to also achieve fluency.
 During the last fourteen years I have helped many people who have a stutter and I have achieved a great deal of success. For me it is not "a job"; in fact it is more of a hobby. This makes me a very lucky person as not many people will tell you that they love "going to work".
I had a stutter throughout my childhood and yes at times it was quite tough. It was not until the age of twenty-two that I managed to completely eradicate the stutter from my speech. This was achieved via hard work, desire, dedication and a lot of practice. I managed to formulate a set of techniques which I now refer to as the "speech rules" and I then worked extremely hard to enable these techniques to become a natural part of my speech.
There was not a magical pill that I could simply swallow that would enable me to attain my lifetime goal of total fluency. I was fully aware of this and accepted the fact. Many a person would at times attempt to dent my inner belief that one day I would be able to speak free from the fear of stuttering. These people included the some what negative speech and language therapists who were far to quick to tell me that, in their opinion, there is no known cure for stuttering. Thankfully they are wrong and I have to say that I did not listen to their negativity, not even for a second.
I now teach other people the techniques that so successfully worked for me and I am looking forward to helping many more people in the future.
