services
Adult Assessments
We provide comprehensive neuropsychological assessments for adults presenting with concerns such as ADHD, memory difficulties, cognitive decline, brain injury, stroke, and other neurological or psychological conditions. Assessments are designed to clarify cognitive functioning, support diagnosis where appropriate, and guide treatment, workplace, or lifestyle recommendations.
Child and Adolescent Assessments
We offer specialised neuropsychological assessments for children and adolescents experiencing attention difficulties, learning challenges, developmental concerns, or academic underperformance. These assessments aim to identify underlying cognitive and emotional factors affecting development and learning, and to support appropriate intervention in the appropriate settings (home, school, university, occupation).
Cognitive Rehabilitation and Support for Cognitive Difficulties
We provide supportive services for individuals and families managing cognitive difficulties arising from neurological, medical, or psychological conditions. This includes psycho-education, therapeutic support, strategies to improve functioning and caregiver guidance to help improve understanding of cognitive changes and their impact on daily life. Our approach focuses on equipping individuals and families with practical strategies, emotional support, and coping tools to enhance functioning, adjustment, and quality of life.
