Neuropsychological Assessment & Intervention
Clinical Neuropsychologists are experts in the relationship between brain and behaviour. We conduct thorough assessments for the purpose of diagnosis, rehabilitation and care planning.
We understand the impact of neurological injury on the cognitive, emotional and behavioural function of the person, and their significant others.

Clinical Neuropsychologist
Who we treat
Our clinical neuropsychologist, Aimee, sees adolescents, adults and older persons who may be experiencing difficulties with cognition (thinking), behaviour and emotion.
She has a particular specialisation in the assessment and diagnosis of dementia, and has expertise in providing decision-making capacity assessments.
She also sees individuals who have experienced neurological insult such as concussion and traumatic brain injury, as well as other acquired brain injuries (e.g. stroke, tumours, hypoxic injury), and provides diagnostic opinion and recommendations about care management.
Assessments
The provision of diagnostic assessment as well as recommendations for rehabilitation purposes are central to the service. Aimee is also a part of The Rehab Team, a multidisciplinary group of clinicians providing high-quality rehabilitation care to patients post injury.
Commonly, clients with mental health issues and/or disability may be referred for an assessment to characterise their cognitive function for the purpose of NDIS goals, or to provide specific recommendations for their care.
Our goal is to provide a space where clients feel genuinely cared for, understood, and valued.

What does a Neuropsychological assessment involve?
A neuropsychological assessment comprises a clinical interview as well as neurocognitive tasks to examine cognitive, psychological and emotional functioning.
A follow-up review session is scheduled soon after the assessment to discuss results and to provide individually-tailored recommendations for ongoing care.
In some cases, ongoing sessions can be provided for the purpose of supporting the person with neuropsychological injury in their day to day functioning, or to adjust to the situation they are facing.
