‘Having now come to the end of my sessions with Katy I can hand on heart say she has transformed my life. She has enabled me to find my true voice and given me the confidence to truly own it. Katy is such a fun, loving and caring therapist, and every session was a joy, and the exercises were fun and engaging. I owe her so much, and would recommend her in an instant. Thank you Katy!’ - Paula

‘I had a great experience with my speech therapist Katy who really got to the bottom of my issue, rebuilding my voice and my confidence. After getting to the stage where I was often struggling to speak I'm now back singing regularly and still using the approaches she taught me to keep my voice in good shape. I wasn't sure how speech therapy would work and was a bit daunted by the idea of looking for help but Katy gave me exactly the support I needed. A fantastic service’. Tom

‘Incredibly supportive and understanding, made me feel comfortable being myself around her, and was sensitive to trans specific issues. Her guidance helped me get to a voice I love and helped me develop so much confidence. I pass 100% of the time on the phone (the thing that bothered me the most) and feel my voice reflects my femininity.

I can wholeheartedly recommend The Speech Network for voice feminisation therapy, I genuinely couldn't be happier with how I was treated or the results I got with their support.’ - Nefas

‘Katy was incredibly professional and kind, and the services provided in regards to voice feminisation were incredibly helpful in a way that cannot be replicated just using available online resources. I cannot recommend enough’ - Veronica

‘Katy was an amazing voice therapist. She provided me with good resources to support my voice therapy and had good contacts to support the underlying issues. My voice has fully recovered after suffering with Muscle Tension Dysphonia, thanks to her support’. - Fleur
