What is neuropsychology?
Neuropsychology is a scientific discipline that concerns itself with understanding and evaluating thinking skills, usually called cognition. Cognition is an umbrella term that refers to all of the thinking skills housed in our brains including memory, attention, processing speed, planning, problem solving and emotional regulation, amongst many others.
Neuropsychologists are educated to a doctoral level or above and have experience working with a wide range of neurological diagnoses including developmental, acquired and degenerative conditions. They are skilled in working with the client themselves as well as supporting their family members where appropriate.
What is a neuropsychological assessment?
A neuropsychological assessment is a thorough evaluation of your thinking skills as well as your psychological wellbeing to either make a diagnosis or establish recommendations for future management.
We understand how daunting it can be to experience difficulties in your cognition. A neuropsychological assessment can arm you with information about your thinking skills and support you to achieve the best outcomes possible.

An assessment typically consists of four parts.
1. Clinical Interview
Your psychologist will spend time with you to find out what you’ve noticed and why this is a problem for you.
2. Collateral interview
Your psychologist will speak to a person of your choosing who knows you very well and can answer questions about how you are managing. This can be done with you present if you wish.
3. Cognitive assessment
You will be asked to complete a number of validated assessment tools, which have been selected for your particular needs. These typically cover a range of pen and paper tasks and puzzles to solve.
4. Feedback
The outcome of your assessment will be discussed with you in detail and you will be given a neuropsychological report, along with recommendations for future management.

Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias
There are currently 900,000 people in the UK living with dementia and this figure is expected to rise to 1.6 million by 2040. Early diagnosis is crucial for taking proactive steps to slow the progression of the disease.
Parkinson’s Disease
1 in 37 people will be diagnosed with Parkinson’s in their lifetime. Early assessment and diagnosis will mean you are best placed to engage in treatment protocols that will help to manage the progression of the condition.


ADHD
ADHD goes largely undiagnosed in the adult population, especially in women, and 5% of school age children are thought to have ADHD. We can confirm your diagnosis and offer strategies to help you manage your symptoms.

Every 90 seconds someone is admitted to hospital with an Aquired Brain Injury. Whether you have had a stroke or traumatic injury we can explore changes in your cognition and build a bespoke neurological rehabillitation plan.
