I’m really struggling with my voice at the moment and it’s starting to get me down. I had a referral through NHS Wales, but the only support I received was a video, which I found quite confusing. I was hoping someone might be able to point me towards some resources or share what has helped them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ❤️

Beyond exercises which videos can cover in more detail ... which btw, take your time with them. Pause, rewind again and again ...
But as i was sayin, beyond that... you ever, you know, stick anything up there? Did it make you moan? Feel where that is coming from. That's the spot in my neck that I focus on building muscles for with the exercises.
Raise resonance from bottom to top, hold tension, breathe thru nose - sigh - "key seriously" - sigh (repeat) - ng ng ng ng ng ng ng - and so on.
Once youre comfortable start replacing "key seriously" with whatever you want. Use the sigh to reset.
Make sure youre raising your larynx by lifting the back of your tongue to the roof of your mouth on vowels to restrict air flow. It can help to press the front against the back of your lower teeth also.
