Neuropsychological assessments at Core Healing Psychology
Neuropsychology assessments offer a detailed look at how the brain functions in areas such as memory, attention, executive functioning, language, and problem-solving. By pinpointing cognitive strengths and uncovering areas of difficulty, we can better understand how medical, neurological, or developmental factors may be impacting a person’s everyday life. At Core Healing Psychology, our neuropsychology assessments are conducted by Dr Sian Virtue-Griffiths, a Clinical Neuropsychology Registrar, ensuring you receive specialized expertise and guidance throughout the process.
Who Benefits from a Neuropsychology Assessment?
Individuals with Neurological Conditions
Conditions like traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease can lead to changes in cognition and behavior. A neuropsychology assessment clarifies the extent of these changes, assisting in planning treatment and rehabilitation.
Older Adults
Concerns about memory loss, dementia, or other age-related cognitive decline can be explored and identified, allowing for targeted interventions and an improved quality of life.
Children & Adolescents
When developmental or neurological issues are suspected—such as brain injury, complex learning disorders, or neurodevelopmental conditions—neuropsychology assessments provide a roadmap for tailored educational and therapeutic strategies.
Adults with Persistent Cognitive Difficulties
Those experiencing memory lapses, trouble concentrating, or other unexplained cognitive challenges can gain clarity through testing, which can lead to more effective management and support.
Our Neuropsychology Assessment Process
Initial Consultation
We begin by gathering background information, discussing any medical history, presenting concerns, and specific questions you hope the assessment will answer.Comprehensive Testing
Dr. Sian, our Clinical Neuropsychology Registrar, uses an array of standardized, evidence-based tools to evaluate cognitive domains such as memory, attention, language, executive functioning, and processing speed. This thorough examination helps us understand how different aspects of brain function interact.Collateral Interviews & Records Review
With your consent, we may speak with family members, teachers, or other healthcare professionals involved in your care. We also review relevant medical or academic records to gain a complete picture of your situation.Interpretation & Feedback
After the assessment, Dr. Sian analyzes the data to determine patterns of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. She then prepares a clear, detailed report, explaining the results and any diagnoses or clinical impressions. A follow-up feedback session allows us to discuss these findings and address any questions you may have.Recommendations & Action Plan
Based on the outcome of the assessment, we provide practical recommendations—such as rehabilitative therapies, academic or workplace accommodations, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to other specialists. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge and resources to optimize daily functioning and long-term well-being.
