I was referred for speech therapy because I was frequently losing my voice and had been for years. This was especially stressful because I'm a self employed storyteller and the fear of my voice suddenly disappearing caused me a great deal of anxiety. The process of identifying and solving the problem was so thorough that ten years on I still have no problems and can work confidently. I now understand the mechanics of how my voice works and how to care for it and prepare it for work. The care and support was exceptional and gave me confidence in my abilities again. I'm still working full time and feeling vocally strong. I never officially thanked the NHS at the time but I am so endlessly grateful, it was like getting my life back and a have moments of gratitude every day as I do the warm up routine that you taught me. Thank you
