About My Voice

My voice has been running as a free service since July 2025, and has now expanded to include affordable paid sessions to keep up with demand.

I made the decision to create this service during my time at the NHS GIS. While I was very grateful for the opportunity to work with such knowledgeable and inspiring SLTs, there were structural barriers to care that I just couldn't ignore and the supreme court ruling was threatening my ability to have a safe working environment. My personal politics are not compatible with joining a paid practice, with some SLTs charging £150+ per session, an insurmountable cost for many in a community disproportionately impacted by financial difficulty. Through word of mouth alone, the eight slots I could offer alongside working full time filled up fast, and a lengthy waiting list materialised- another significant barrier I was aiming to combat. In response, My Voice is changing. Eight free slots are still available, but affordable sessions are also on offer to reduce the wait time for those who can afford to contribute to their care, without breaking the bank. 

The culture of trans healthcare in the UK is frequently one of fear and dishonesty, with power imbalances between cis practitioners and trans service users resulting in desperation. My voice is in active opposition to this atmosphere, lived experience is central to the My Voice ethos. I came out as trans at thirteen with little support, I've DIYed hormones, I am neurodivergent and chronically ill, I have done sex work, and I have struggled to access the care I need with practitioners who understand me. Trans people are often made to feel difficult for having 'complex' needs in healthcare settings, but for many of us, these factors are simply a part of our lives which can be exhausting to explain and defend simply to access basic treatment. At My Voice, I'll only ever ask you for information you're comfortable sharing to best accommodate you, and there will be no unclear hoops to jump through to maintain care. Harm reduction approaches paired with a personal understanding of your reality creates a solid foundation to build positive therapeutic relationships, in turn maximising the positive outcomes we can achieve together.
