Who We Help

Our concussion clinic works with adults whose recovery has not gone as expected and whose symptoms are interfering with daily life, work, or study—particularly in cognitively demanding environments.

We specialise in the cognitive and emotional effects of concussion, and in helping people understand why their brain doesn’t feel like it’s working properly yet, even when scans are normal and physical symptoms may be improving.

 

We typically help people who:

 

  • are 4 weeks or more post-concussion

  • were told they “should be better by now,” but aren’t

  • feel mentally slower, foggy, or easily overwhelmed

  • fatigue quickly with thinking, screens, or multitasking

  • struggle with meetings, emails, reading, or decision-making

  • notice increased irritability, anxiety, or emotional sensitivity

  • are finding return to work, study, or complex daily tasks difficult

  • had previously high levels of cognitive functioning and confidence

 

Many of our clients are professionals, healthcare workers, academics, managers, or students whose jobs rely heavily on sustained attention, speed, and mental flexibility.

 

Common situations we see

 

You might recognise yourself if:

  • your physical symptoms have mostly settled, but your thinking hasn’t

  • you can manage short tasks, but crash later in the day

  • you feel fine until you try to concentrate, problem-solve, or multitask

  • screens trigger headaches, fatigue, or cognitive overload

  • you’re unsure whether symptoms are “brain-based,” anxiety-related, or both

  • you’re losing confidence in your ability to function as you used to

 

We help make sense of this—and map a way forward.

 

What we focus on

 

We focus on understanding and treating:

  • cognitive efficiency (speed, effort, mental stamina)

  • attention and multitasking under load

  • fatigue and recovery patterns

  • executive functioning (planning, switching, decision-making)

  • emotional changes linked to cognitive strain

  • confidence and identity disruption after concussion

 

Our work is not about labelling you with a new diagnosis.

It’s about understanding how your brain is functioning now and how to support recovery.

 

Who we may not be the best fit for

 

Our service may not be the right match if:

  • you are in the first 2–3 weeks after a concussion and primarily need acute medical monitoring

  • you are seeking immediate medical clearance for sport or high-risk activity

  • you require management of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury

  • your main goal is a medico-legal or compensation-based assessment

  • you are looking solely for reassurance without a structured recovery plan

 

In these cases, we’re happy to help guide you toward more appropriate services.

 

How we work alongside other providers

 

Concussion recovery is often multi-system. We commonly work alongside:

  • GPs and sports physicians

  • vestibular and neuro physiotherapists

  • vision and neuro-optometry providers

  • occupational therapists

  • sleep specialists

 

We focus on the cognitive and emotional components, while coordinating with others who treat physical, vestibular, visual, or sleep-related symptoms.

 

Our aim

 

Our aim is to help you:

  • understand what’s happening in your brain

  • reduce uncertainty and fear around symptoms

  • rebuild cognitive stamina and confidence

  • return to work, study, and life with greater clarity and control

 

If you’re unsure whether our service is the right fit, we’re happy to discuss your situation and help you decide on the next best step.
