Shropshire based Occupational Therapy and Sensory Integration Services

Helen Spencer

Clinical Director

" As a family run organisation, we value our practitioners and our clients. We recognise they are human beings with hopes, aspirations and expectations of us as service providers and, ultimately, as caring, trustworthy people and professionals.

I never place a clinician with a client unless they have the specialist skills and expertise required for that individual client's conditions and needs. "

Helen qualified as an OT in 2002 and specialised in Neurorehabilitation with The Oxford Centre for Enablement, the Internationally renowned clinical service for neurorehabilitation.
