When is this useful?
A neuropsychological cognitive assessment is helpful when you or those around you have noticed changes or difficulties with thinking, memory, concentration, or problem-solving. This might follow a neurological condition, brain injury, or simply be something you have always experienced and want to understand better.
The assessment provides a detailed picture of your cognitive strengths and any areas of difficulty. This can inform treatment planning, guide rehabilitation, and support applications for reasonable adjustments at work or in education.
I use a range of standardised, evidence-based tools and take a collaborative approach, ensuring the assessment is tailored to your specific concerns and goals.
