Neuropsychology and Psychology Services in
Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough

Brain Health Nelson provides specialist neuropsychology and psychology services for adults and young people aged 16 and over across Nelson, Tasman and the wider Top of the South. We support people experiencing changes in memory, attention, thinking, mood, behaviour or everyday functioning associated with concussion, brain injury, neurological conditions, chronic pain, ageing and psychological distress.

Referrals may come from GPs, medical specialists, ACC, insurers, rehabilitation providers or other health professionals. Individuals and families are also welcome to contact the clinic directly to discuss whether a service may be suitable. Appointments are available at our Nelson clinic, with telehealth offered where clinically appropriate.

Our services fall into three main areas:

• Neuropsychological assessment uses interviews, cognitive testing and clinical information to understand a person’s strengths and difficulties, clarify diagnosis and guide recommendations.
• Psychological therapy focuses on emotional wellbeing, adjustment, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress and other concerns using evidence-based approaches.
• Neuropsychological rehabilitation helps people manage cognitive, emotional and practical difficulties following brain injury, illness or other changes in brain functioning, with a focus on improving independence, confidence and participation in daily life.

Each service is tailored to the person’s needs, goals and circumstances.
