"In over two decades of clinical practice in this field, I have never encountered a practical guide that so perfectly 'gives voice', both literally - Mills and Pert are acclaimed consultants in Speech & Language Therapy - and in the sense that it firmly centres the lived experience and expertise of trans and non-binary individuals. As such, I consider this essential reading, not just for vocal practitioners and gender clinicians but for everyone who works with or simply wants to better understand gender-diverse people." Dr Stuart Lorimer, Consultant Psychiatrist and Senior Gender Specialist "This is an invaluable resource for voice practitioners at every level of experience, as well as for other disciplines working within trans healthcare.This workbook enables an exploratory and reflective approach to voice and communication work for Voice practitioners. The voice and wisdom of the community interlocutors is interwoven throughout, embracing true partnership working. This is a must for our continuing professional development; the workbook will increase the communicative confidence for all that engage with it." Nazlin Kurji-Smith (She/Her/Hers), Clinical Lead Speech and Language Therapist and National Adviser in Trans Voice for the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists "Do we need another book on working with trans voice?'. What I found to my delight on reading Mills & Pert's book was that yes, we do.

This book follows the pattern of weaving in interlocutors from the trans community, and the diversity of voices and expertise is invaluable. The format invites the reader to take a deep dive into self-examination and to 'do the work'. This sense of journey fosters a deeper empathy with the journey of our clients. We are not let off lightly, even though there is support to be light and kind to ourselves as we consider our own identity, attitudes and biases and as we explore our own voices. The ground is thus well-nurtured to grow our own practice and to tear up the rule book should we choose." Gillie Stoneham , Consultant SLT in Trans Voice & Communication"This book is a useful resource for Speech and Language Therapists, not only those who are new to working with trans voice but also those who wish to develop their skills in supporting trans and non-binary people. Trans people benefit from informed clinicians, with the knowledge and skills to facilitate authentic communication. "Working with Trans Voice" will allow therapists to provide good, culturally sensitive clinical care, that meets the needs of trans people.

" Dr Helen Greener, Consultant in Gender Dysphoria 'This entry in the Working With series endeavours to enable newer and more experienced clinicians alike to deliver gender-affirming voice therapy to trans and non-binary individuals. This book is a workbook, and asks us not to 'skip to the exercises', but to engage thoughtfully in material that will transform voice exercises into voice therapy.' Mary Moos, Advanced Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, from the foreword. 'What will strike you overwhelmingly from reading this book is how the authors have captured the voices of lived experience from trans and gender diverse people. Their experiences permeate the text adding invaluable context and richness to the practical exercises and activities in each chapter.' Dr Kate Nambiar, Gender Clinician & Endocrinology Specialist, Welsh Gender Service, from the foreword.
