Alexandra Thomas

Clinical Manager

Registered Nurse, Previously specialised in Emergency Care, Palliative care, Paediatrics. Trained integrative Therapist. Strong background in Safeguarding in Education and working as a liaison with Social Care, Education, Healthcare and Families and Young People.

I have worked in healthcare and education for a number of years, supporting young people and their families. My particular field of interest has been with special educational needs including ADHD and Autism. I trained in safeguarding which led me to work with families in crisis as a link between education, healthcare and social care. AS a trained therapist I have worked with both children and adults. My speciality being retrospective sexual abuse cases and related PTSD and Trauma. 

I have joined the Apricot Centre because I believe in the ideals and ethos that are held here. My personal journey has always been one that led me to seek mindful solutions in nature. The work done by the Wellbeing Centre with adoptive families in particular resonates with my passion for supporting families and young people.
