We offer the same treatments but through a confidential videocall arrangement.
Neuropsychology
We provide Neuropsychological Assessment to help you and/or those supporting you to better understand the changes you are experiencing.
Neuropsychological Assessment identifies your individual profile of strengths and difficulties following acquired brain injury (e.g. traumatic brain injury, stroke, encephalitis) or neurological disorder (e.g. MS, Parkinson’s, MND).
- Thinking skills/cognition (e.g. memory, attention, planning)
- Managing emotions (e.g. anxiety, low mood, anger)
- Changes to behaviour (e.g. quicker to anger, social withdrawal)
- Adjusting to change.
Neuropsychological rehabilitation sessions can focus on any or all of these areas and include appropriate individual adaptations, e.g. short written summaries, regular breaks, joint sessions with family/ carers as appropriate.
