Specialist Neuropsychology
Epilepsy & Other Neurological Conditions
Living with epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, a brain tumour or another neurological condition can affect far more than physical health. Specialist neuropsychological and psychological support can help you understand cognitive and emotional changes and find practical ways to adapt everyday life.
When a Neurological Condition Changes Everyday Life
Making sense of changes that may not always be visible
Neurological conditions can affect people in very different ways. Some bring gradual changes over time, while others may involve periods of greater stability alongside episodes of uncertainty or change.
You may notice differences in concentration, memory or the amount of mental energy everyday activities require. Work, relationships and responsibilities may need to be approached differently, while symptoms that are difficult for other people to see can sometimes be particularly hard to explain.
Alongside these practical and cognitive changes, there can be an emotional process of adapting to diagnosis, treatment and uncertainty about the future.
Our role is to understand how your neurological condition is affecting you — your thinking, emotions, relationships and everyday life — rather than making assumptions based on the diagnosis alone.
Specialist Neurological Support
Different conditions bring different experiences
We work with people living with a range of neurological conditions.
Support is shaped around your individual experience rather than assuming that everybody with the same diagnosis will have the same needs.
Epilepsy
Living with epilepsy can involve adapting to an ongoing neurological condition alongside its wider impact on everyday life, confidence, independence and emotional wellbeing.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis can bring changing physical, cognitive and emotional demands. Support can help you understand how these changes are affecting everyday life and consider practical ways of adapting.
Brain Tumours
A brain tumour diagnosis and its treatment can bring significant changes and uncertainty for individuals and families. Neuropsychological and psychological support can help make sense of cognitive, emotional and practical experiences as circumstances evolve.
Neuropsychological Assessment
Understanding Changes in Thinking
If you have noticed changes in memory, concentration, organisation or other areas of thinking, neuropsychological assessment may help develop a clearer picture of your cognitive functioning.
Assessment considers areas of strength alongside those that may now require more effort. This can help us understand how cognitive changes relate to the difficulties you are experiencing in everyday life.
The aim is not simply to identify areas of difficulty. A clearer understanding of your cognitive profile can inform practical recommendations for home, work and other responsibilities, helping you consider where adaptations or further support may be useful.

Living with a neurological condition can mean that everyday activities require more thought or energy than they once did.
You may need to approach work, routines or responsibilities differently, particularly if concentration, memory, fatigue or other cognitive changes are affecting how much you can comfortably manage.
Neuropsychological support can help you understand these changes and consider practical adjustments that reflect your circumstances, priorities and existing strengths.
A neurological diagnosis can also affect confidence, identity and how you think about the future.
You may be adjusting to medical uncertainty, changes in independence or the loss of roles and activities that were important to you. Anxiety, frustration, grief or low mood can sit alongside the practical demands of managing the condition itself.
Psychological therapy provides a dedicated space to explore these experiences and consider how you want to live alongside the changes you are facing.
Support That Reflects Your Life
There is no single way to adjust to a neurological condition.
What matters most may change depending on your health, treatment, responsibilities and where you are in your life.
At different points, support might focus on understanding cognitive changes, managing mental energy, adapting work or everyday routines, rebuilding confidence or making space for difficult emotions.
We work collaboratively to identify what is most useful to you now, while recognising that your needs may change over time.
When Neurological Change Affects the Family
Neurological conditions can also bring changes for partners and families.
Responsibilities may shift, plans may need to change and the people closest to you may be managing uncertainty of their own.
Where appropriate, we can involve family members in developing a shared understanding of cognitive and emotional changes while also recognising their own wellbeing and adjustment.

Finding Ways to Live Well With Change
Living with a neurological condition can involve adapting repeatedly — to symptoms, treatment, uncertainty or changes in what you are able to do.
Support does not mean pretending those changes are easy. It means creating space to understand what is happening, recognising the strengths and resources you continue to have, and finding practical and psychological ways of responding to the life you are living now.
At Recall Psychology, we bring together specialist neuropsychological understanding and psychological therapy so that cognitive, emotional and practical needs can be considered together.
If you are unsure what kind of support would be most appropriate, an initial conversation can help us understand your circumstances and consider the next step.
