Victoria Halstead
Founder - DECESEASED
Victoria was a qualified Speech & Language Therapist with almost a decade of experience working in the specialist field of ENT. She developed a passion for creating effective, evidence based therapy packages for voice, swallowing and upper airway disorders. She worked within the NHS as a Highly Specialist Speech Therapist at one of the leading hospitals for voice disorders in the UK.
Her previous post was as the Clinical Lead for voice disorders at the Calderdale and Huddersfield Foundation Trust and prior to this, she worked within the specialist voice team at the Leeds General Infirmary. These roles have allowed Victoria to develop highly specialist skills and a holistic understanding of voice disorders in the context of your life and wellbeing. Victoria was also active in clinical research and completed a Masters in the field of Vocal Fatigue in professional voice users.
Victoria had a particular interest in working with professional voice users, vocal difficulties resultant from surgery and researching the links between psychological wellbeing and voice disorders.
Victoria's method relied on a combination of listening to the needs and wishes of clients plus several years of experience of voice therapies, that provided a bespoke package of care to suit you. This is an ethos we're striving hard to continue.
