Nurturing recovery after brain injury

Our neuropsychologists combine expert understanding of cognitive changes following a brain injury with psychological adjustment to injury.

Our Clinical Neuropsychologists and Clinical Psychologists are HCPC registered and members of The British Psychological Society (BPS). Many of our psychologists are on the BPS Specialist Register of Neuropsychology denoting specialist training in the field. All have access to supervision by a Clinical Neuropsychologist on the register, as well as free access to our ongoing CPD program.

We believe in working collaboratively with the client to manage their risks and use the process therapeutically to develop insight and responsibility, and to progress their rehabilitation goals.

We offer one-to-one, family and team working (including care agencies) to develop care plans to support behavioural symptoms.

”Having therapists who understand the complexities of brain injury, who listen and are non-judgemental, has a monumental impact on acceptance and recovery.
