Kaddy Thomas on Clubhouse

Bio

I’m Kaddy Thomas and my goal is to help unpaid carers find understanding and community, as well as increase their wellbeing so they can thrive instead of just survive in this incredibly rewarding and challenging role.

My lived experience as a parent carer to my amazing and medically complex son Elijah have informed my work and I know just how easy it is to become overwhelmed and isolated. I also know how important self-care is for carers – and how often our own mental and physical health is less than the number one priority. We are often at the mercy of a social care system that is, at best unsupportive of and at worst damaging to our wellbeing. But who cares for the carer and who will care for our loved ones if we can no longer cope?

That’s why I want to offer a place where carers feel heard, seen and valued within a community that just gets it. I’m passionate about helping others to care for themselves in easy, manageable ways. Plus I want to help carers experience some of the transformative tools I have discovered to boost wellbeing, such as solution-focused hypnotherapy.
