Eleanor Clarke

I have worked with adults and adolescents with traumatic brain injury and other neurological conditions, both in the acute and rehabilitative sectors (in the NHS and private setting) as a specialist physiotherapist. As a professional I am passionate about forging strong working relationships with clients, families and the wider team, as I believe communication and a person centred approach are key to maximising client independence and quality of life.

I am a strong advocate for clients, providing support throughout their rehabilitation journey. I have extensive knowledge of neuro rehabilitation and am skilled at leading multidisciplinary teams to ensure that client goals are achieved. I enjoy seeing client’s quality of life and independence improve as a result of case management rehabilitation and support input.
