HELEN THOMAS
SENIOR II OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST

I currently work at the Dawley Centre 4 days a week and also spend 1 day at Chaddeslode House in Shrewsbury.

My background is in mental health and I work both with individuals and in groups. I currently
co-facilitate 2 groups at Dawley and have experience of Anger Management, Assertiveness,
Anxiety Management and Relaxation Groups.

In addition I have co-facilitated a group for the LEAP (Learning & Education in Action Partnership Project) and am currently involved with a group using creative writing as a therapeutic medium.

I use a client-centred approach when working with individuals with a wide range of emotional
difficulties and have a particular interest in the impact of mental health on occupational function.
