Exclusive Service
Acquired Brain Injury
Our Approach
At The London Neurocognitive Clinic, we set out to support individuals who have experienced an ABI and their families to work towards valued goals. Sometimes after an ABI people can be grieving significant losses and we do not overlook this. Recognising personal strengths and difficulties, re-establishing identity, and regaining hope, are just some of the areas that we focus on in neurorehabilitation sessions.
Why would someone need a neuropsychological assessment after an ABI?
Cognitive impairment is common after an ABI. Although, different types of brain injury can lead to different types of impairment. Neuropsychological assessments help establish what specific impairments a person is experiencing. They also help to contextualise why a person might be having difficulties in everyday life after a brain injury. Ultimately it is a starting point for building a plan for what to do next.
How might I expect to work with a clinical psychologist?
Your clinical psychologist would use the information gathered in the neuropsychological assessment to understand how best to help you. They will look out for things that you think or do that may be making your levels of distress worse. They will also think with you about things you could do (coping strategies) to make life a little easier. They will think with you about where you live and how you spend your time, in case there are any areas that they could benefit from some modifications.
