I am an experienced neuropsychologist, specialising in cognitive disorders. I work with adults and family members/carers where there is any issue with memory, concentration, problem-solving or other thinking skills. I offer full assessment of cognitive skills, whilst also incorporating assessment of mental health problems and other potentially contributing factors such as physical health problems, pain, sleep and medications. I also work with individuals where there is a behavioural, social or emotional element, offering both individual and family support where appropriate. I also provide therapy and cognitive rehabilitation

Neuropsychology for adults, families and carers

Any individual experiencing cognitive difficulties will find daily life difficult, whether that is managing to work effectively, study, manage day-to-day tasks at home, or even hold simple conversations. My aim is to find out the difficulties, but also the strengths you have, in order to maximise your quality of life.

I can help with assessment of any cognitive issue, and co-occurring emotional, social or behavioural issues. I can also identify strengths and offer rehab to build on such strengths. I offer therapy to deal with adjustment to illness and rebuild your life in a new and meaningful way. Support for carers/family members can also often be helpful.
