  • Clinical neuropsychology is a specialist area of psychology that focuses on understanding the relationship between brain functioning, cognition, behaviour and emotional wellbeing.

    A clinical neuropsychological assessment can help individuals better understand difficulties with memory, attention, concentration, learning, and executive functioning. Assessments may assist with diagnostic clarification, exploring concerns related to ADHD, autism, learning difficulties, acquired brain injury and neurological conditions, as well as identifying cognitive changes associated with progressive neurological conditions.

    Through a comprehensive assessment, clinical neuropsychologists identify an individual's cognitive strengths and areas of difficulty, providing greater understanding of their presentation and recommendations to support daily functioning, rehabilitation and quality of life.

  • Clinical psychology is a specialist area of psychology focused on the assessment, understanding and treatment of mental health and psychological difficulties.

    Clinical psychologists work with individuals experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment difficulties and the psychological impacts of illness, injury and chronic pain.

    Psychological therapy provides an opportunity to explore difficulties, develop a better understanding of emotional and behavioural patterns, and build strategies to support mental health, wellbeing and everyday functioning. Therapy is tailored to each individual's needs, circumstances and goals.
