Is their speaking voice wispy and breathy? If not, you can often use speaking as a template for how the voice will feel in a nice solid chest voice. I would stick to lower songs/exercises to try to develop some vocal fold adduction and use forward vowels etc..

I would thoroughly recommend IVA. Just my 2 cents :). You don’t necessarily have to join up if you don’t want, you’ll still get a lot out of just finding an IVA teacher and booking a lesson and asking teacherly questions if that makes sense.

Actually the next event is May 31st

I might be biased, but I’ve been a part of IVA (http://vocaladvancement.com) for a few years now, and I think it’s second to none in terms of preparing teachers with the knowledge they need to confidently address vocal issues. I’m not so up to date with the UK events these days, but I’m pretty sure there’s some masterclasses happening up there in June. Look it up:)

I’d suggest some vocal fry and some coup de glotte style exercises (using an onset that’s somewhere between balanced and glottal), if you feel confident using these. That onset is really important as it might help get the interarytenoids going, (a weakness in interarytenoids is usually what causes posterior chink. Often what’s going on is that the lateral cricoarytenoids are doing their job but the IAs aren’t). As Matt suggests, some lower pitch, thick folds exercises will help too.
