Gillie Stoneham

Gillie has many years experience as a lecturer and specialist practitioner in voice & communication and counselling skills. She began practicing in the field of gender affirming voice and communication in 2006 and established a voice service at the West of England Gender Identity Clinic in 2021 as Consultant SLT. She now has an independent practice and works closely with Gender Identity South West.

Gillie has co-authored two books on trans voice & communication that both have the voices of trans and non-binary people at their heart. She has published journal articles and presented at conferences and symposia both nationally and internationally, including the European Professionals in Transgender Health and as a member of the British Association of Gender Identity Specialists (BAGIS).

Outside of her gender affirming voice specialism, Gillie is also Director of ActorFactor, a company specialising in using theatre techniques for exploring voice and communication skills within personal impact development, and has a voice coaching practice including for corporate clients and actors.  She is passionate about continuing to explore her own voice as a voice actor, in theatre and through singing in a Gospel choir.
