Paul John McKenna

Paul John McKenna is a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) working in Clinical Voice Disorders and Singing Voice Rehabilitation at Wythenshawe Hospital (NHS) in South Manchester and also privately. Paul co-runs weekly professional voice users assessment clinics, where high level voice users are assessed endoscopically and then rehabilitated via highly individualised voice therapy. Paul is a certified Neuro-linguistic Programming practitioner (NLP) with a background in Hypnotherapy, skills which have driven his interest in the psychological factors impacting on the voice. He aims to continue developing in these fields over the coming years with the hope of providing new insights that can further assist performers in their recoveries and in the mastery of their voice use.

Prior to retraining as an SLT, Paul worked as a gigging musician for a number of years, as both a singer and guitarist. This musical background has been the catalyst for focusing his career towards assisting high level performers in their vocal recovery. Enjoying speaking publicly on vocal care, Paul also provides bespoke workshops for performing arts establishments in the North of England, educating students on vocal health.
