Accessibility of Information

Key therapy exercises and sample practice texts are also provided as downloadable resources at the end of each presentation which can be used directly with clients.
Course Availability & Learning Structure
Once purchased, the course is available for 60 days to view and work through at your own pace and convenience. Each presentation follows a specific order to ensure the cultural competency and relevant background information has been covered prior to progressing onto the direct clinical competency voice and communication aspects and exercises.
Additional Information
Steadily, the rate of clinicians seeking specialist training in transgender voice has been increasing. The expansion of services nationally and internationally continues to highlight the need for specialist clinical training for clinicians working with transgender and gender diverse voice and communication. As the rise of voice feminisation surgeries increases, the requirement for clinicians to gain knowledge in managing pre and post surgery clients also increases. Christella shares specialist knowledge in this area to guide clinicians who may not be able to access this type of training within their organisation.
Over the years, Christella has been contacted hundreds of times by clinicians seeking help, advice and clinical supervision in voice. Responding to clinician and student enquiries as well as running training courses continues to form a significant part of her clinical work. She has directly trained lead clinicians in two of the U.K’s National Health Service Gender Identity Clinics as well as providing direct specialist training to voice clinician associates working within her private practice.
“One of my longstanding clinical intentions has always been to share clinical skills and knowledge to enable more treating clinicians; it is only in this way that we can make a wider reaching impact on the voice and communication needs of the trans community.”
Antoni Method training courses are devised to support the clinician’s learning with a clear training structure so that both clinical competence and confidence develop securely, ensuring clinicians feel equipped to practice. This comprehensive course will educate, encourage and empower all clinicians seeking training and advanced learning in the specialist field of transgender and gender diverse voice and communication.
