This book is specifically aimed at Speech and Language Therapists and sets out a range of games, activities, frameworks and exercises to help them develop their skills for working with trans clients. It also focuses on the innovative approach of individual therapy and group therapy settings, which is important for optimising speech adaptation.

Specifically aimed at Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) and voice practitioners, this book follows up from the authors first book, The Voice Book for Trans and Non-Binary People. It sets out cultural competence, psychological and vocal skills, group activities and improvisations frameworks and exercises to helps SLTs develop their skills for working with trans and non-binary clients, including facilitation and coaching, emotional intelligence, role-play and solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy practices. It also includes many contributions from the trans community and a range of clinical professionals to emphasise the collaborative space.

Written by two leading authorities on voice and communication therapy for trans people, this is an essential and authoritative resource for anyone working with trans and non-binary clients who are seeking their voice exploration.

Introduction. 1. The Gender Space: Towards Effective Allyship. 2. The Psychological Space: Therapeutic Alliance. 3. The Vocal Space: Felt Sense and Coaching. 4. The Social Space: Contextual Awareness. 5. Space: Building Communities. Conclusion.

Complementing their previous self-help book for trans people, the same authors have now turned their attention to helping speech and language therapists develop their own skills too, harnessing a wide range of expert knowledge. I had always imagined SLT to be a discipline mainly focused on technique and exercise. What I got from this book, above all, was an understanding that it is a far more holistic process, reaching into the psychological domain and framing identity as the foundation of vocal presentation.
