NEUROPSYCHOLOGY THERAPIES
Our neuropsychology therapy services focus on providing support to the client, as well as to the family of the client in a safe environment. A diagnosis of a neurological disorder can be traumatic for everyone involved, and a good support structure is essential for clients to adapt as well as they possibly can to their diagnosis. Equally, family or friends of a client need to understand the client’s disorder so that they can provide the best possible support to their loved one.
