022 - Gillie Stoneham on working with Trans, Non-Binary & Gender Expansive Voices

Presented by Juliette Caton

Edited by Sam Benoiton

Gillie Stoneham began her career as a speech and language therapist and after completing her Masters in Human Communication was a Senior Lecturer on a BSc Speech Language Therapy programme for many years. 

She began to specialise in voice both within this role and through her company which offers theatre skills in the workplace to build personal impact.  

Through clinical practice within her lecturing role she first worked in gender affirming voice and communication in 2006  in the South West of England, and has developed a specialist role in the 17 years since. 

She presents nationally and internationally in specialist conferences and study days and took up a part time consultancy role for the Tavistock & Portman Trust at the London Gender Clinic in 2016, working closely with Matthew Mills. 

It was whilst she was in this post, that she co-authored 2 books with Matthew Mills and designed and delivered specialist training programmes for voice therapists nationally. 

Gillie is a founding member of the Clinical Excellence Network (known as the CEN) in trans voice and communication and also of BAGIS which is the (British Association of Gender Identity Specialists). She also helped in writing the competency framework for the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
