Has your stammer impacted on how you approach new relationships?

I am currently carrying out research aimed at gaining an understanding of how stammering effects the formation of intimate relationships for young adult men who stammer, from chatting someone up through to early dating situations.

If you are a currently single 18 to 30 year old man who stammers, I would be very interested to talk to you about taking part in an informal interview about your experiences. The interview will take place at a time and place of your convenience. However, the interviews will ideally take place within the London area.

If you are interested to know more about the research, or would like to know how to take part, please feel free to contact me, Paul O'Sullivan, on either 07903 781250 or you can email me on paul.osullivan.1@city.ac.uk. I would be happy to discuss the research further with you and give you more information as to how you can be involved.

The research is part of a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City University, London, and is being carried out under the supervision of Dr. Deborah Rafalin, Chartered Counselling Psychologist (telephone: 020 7040 4592, email: d.rafalin@city.ac.uk).

All information will be treated confidentially.
