Creative Consultancy
For Professionals & Projects
(Producers, Writers, Directors, Casting and more)
Unsure, nervous or stuck on a trans or gender-related aspect of your project, team or process? I can help you make rich creative decisions and feel confident that you are communicating what you intend to, with nuance. Unlike AI or generic corporate-style language, I work creatively and collaboratively, combining my experience as an actor, writer & producer with my lived experience as a trans man to dig into your core themes, questions and goals. This could look like script feedback, advice on marketing or casting, joining an R&D and more. Read about common topics and questions I get approached with.
I can offer one-off sessions, or join your team longer-term. Whether you’re certain or not that trans consultancy is what you need, book a free introductory call with me, or shoot me an email, and let’s discuss how I can best collaborate with you! Yay!
References from Past Work
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nay Oliver Murphy and can wholeheartedly recommend him. He brings warmth, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to creating inclusive, thoughtful spaces. His consultancy is grounded in both expertise and compassion, making him a trusted partner for organisations looking to make meaningful change. I don’t give my endorsement lightly. But as a trans consultant, Nay approaches LGBTQ+ and trans inclusion with authenticity, respect, and a willingness to listen and learn. He understands that true inclusion isn’t about ticking boxes it’s about building environments where people feel seen, valued, and able to thrive. I’m delighted to recommend his work.” - Emmanuel Akwafo, Actor & Writer
“Nay provides an articulate and clear view on the trans perspective. His joyful and supportive guidance was hugely influential in tackling a subject that must be treated with care and substance. Nay is a perfect gateway for any writer looking to be educated in an experience unbeknownst to them.” - Julian Verburg, Producer & Writer
“I consulted Nay during the writing process of a play I was working on, which featured a trans character. Working with Nay was a dream; he really helped me consider the character, and the piece as a whole, from new angles, which was incredibly helpful to the process. It was an absolute pleasure to have him in the room, and would highly recommend him!” - Lady Aria Grey, Writer & Drag Artist

My first arts organisation commission: Inclusive Practices for Voice Practitioners, research commissioned by Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
“Speaking of Gender: Inclusive Practices for Voice Practitioners draws on the experiences of more than 100 drama school students, graduates and voice teachers across the UK. Commissioned at Royal Central School and developed by Nay Oliver Murphy, it is the first large-scale statistical study of gender-inclusive practice in voice training. Based on his research, Murphy has now developed a training to be delivered across UK drama schools for voice teachers.'“ - Quote from RCSSD’s publication.
Parents & Loved Ones of Trans Teens
Have a teenager in your life who is questing their gender, or told you that they are transgender? Unsure how to respond, how best to support them, or feeling scared and worried for them?
I’m a trans man who was a trans teen not too long ago myself, and works with young people every week through my youth theatre practice. I can offer a judgement-free space to ask any questions (any!), talk through your concerns and explore how you can best support the young person in your life.
Contact me to book a free 20-minute introductory call. I usually recommend working together over a number of sessions, allowing time to explore your questions and create practical action points. Fees can vary depending on your financial situation and the number of sessions you book. Read FAQs here.
Maya Vaughan, Psychotherapist & Mother:
“I have known Nay for many years and have observed with deep respect how he has navigated his identity and transition with such maturity, clarity and insight. And how he has used his experience and skills with others seeking support, advice and wisdom around issues of gender, identity and all that flows from that. I have had direct experience of his parenting advice, when I was navigating my own challenges with my teen kids. His support was so incisive in fact, that I recommended that he set himself up as a coach for teens and parents. I would highly recommend Nay to anyone who is looking for a coach that has a deep understanding of the struggles teens face, esp. around gender and identity and who is able to offer support that is clear, attuned, calm and without judgement.”
Jenny, Doctor & Mother:
“Talking with Nay about my teen’s gender journey really helped me. Because he has lived experience with this himself, the conversation felt safe in a way I hadn't expected — like I could ask questions honestly without worrying about judgment. He helped me understand that identity doesn't have to be fixed or linear — some days might feel different from others, and that's completely OK. Trying on different pronouns and ways of expressing identity isn't confusion or indecision; it's actually a healthy, natural part of figuring out who you are.”
