Expert Neuropsychologist Services in Dorset

At Neuropsychology Dorset, we provide expert neuropsychological assessments and treatments for individuals of all ages, focusing on cognitive, emotional, and behavioural wellbeing.

 

Led by an experienced neuropsychologist, our clinic offers personalised care for a variety of neurological conditions, aiming to enhance each client’s quality of life through tailored therapy and support.

Cognitive Assessment

We can conduct general cognitive assessments to assess your strengths and difficulties. These can be standalone assessments, or alongside an ADHD or Autism assessment.

                             Brain Injury 

After a traumatic brain injury or acquired brain injury, it is important that a full neuropsychological assessment is carried out to look at areas of cognition that have been affected, and the person's psychological well-being. We conduct this using standardised psychometrics tests.

IQ Assessment

Our clinicians are trained to use the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV). The WAIS-IV is a cognitive assessment that can give you your overall IQ score compared to the general population your age.

                             Dementia 

Using the The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) and other cognitive tests, we are able to assess whether someone may be presenting with Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, or Mild Cognitive Impairment. 

Neuropsychological Assessment

When someone has a neurological condition or acquired brain injury, they often notice changes in their thinking skills (cognition). This can have a detrimental impact on their everyday life. We offer a bespoke cognitive assessment to help you make sense of the problems you are experiencing.

Before we undertake any cognitive testing, be it for brain injury, dementia, stroke, ADHD or autism, we complete a clinical interview. We are firm believers that you are more than a number, and it is critical that we understand what has happened in your life, who you are and what is important to you.
 
Once the cognitive assessment is complete, a full report is provided. This will detail any cognitive strengths, areas of difficulty and recommendations for what would be helpful.

Adjustment
Sustaining a brain injury or the onset of a neurological condition is a really challenging time. It can be really difficult to adjust to life with the associated changes. We can provide psychologically informed therapy sessions designed to support you in adjusting to these changes. We want to help you to lead your life in a way that is meaningful to you.
 
Support for Carers
A carer can be anyone; a partner, parent, family member or friend. We recognise that caring can be particularly straining for you as an individual. It is very difficult to care for someone else if we cannot care for ourselves. We offer psychological informed therapy to make sure that you feel equipped to look after you.
