Neurological Psychological Needs Assessment

The Neurological Psychological Needs Assessment considers an individual's psychological well-being and mood.

What is a Neurological Psychological Needs Assessment?

This expert assessment explores psychological health and the unique challenges experienced by an individual when living and working with a neurological or neurodivergent diagnosis. It will help to address challenges with an individual's well-being that are impacting work performance.

This assessment provides a valuable overview of psychological needs, exploring an individual's emotions and behaviour, how they process information, and it also examines current distress, trauma, and psychological adjustment. It considers what psychological support is required to address any challenges.

The Neurological Psychology Needs Assessment is remote (online), but in-person assessments can be arranged, undertaken by a neuropsychologist; additional charges will apply.

Who is a Neurological Psychological Needs Assessment for?

Individuals

This assessment has been designed for working age individuals with a neurological diagnosis, and those who are suspected or confirmed to be neurodivergent. It is suitable for those who are at work or absent from work.

Supporting Professionals

The Neurological Psychological Needs Assessment is for employers, or insurers, seeking to understand the challenges an individual is experiencing with well-being and mood, and what help can be offered.

What is Included in a Neurological Psychological Needs Assessment?

This assessment includes:

Detailed assessment of psychological need
Evaluation of ability to manage trauma, change, and transition
Support recommendations to promote confidence and symptom reduction

This assessment does not cover:

Standardised cognitive assessment
Risk analysis specific to environment or job role

If you require the above services that are not covered in a Neurological Psychological Needs Assessment, the risk analysis specific to environment or job role is available upon request following a Fundamental Vocational Assessment or a Work Capacity Assessment.

The Outcomes of your Assessment

Upon completion of the Neurological Psychological Needs Assessment, an individual will receive an evaluation of their ability to manage trauma, change and transition, which will help them to understand their well-being and the challenges they face.

Recommendations will be made that support increasing an individual's confidence and will suggest how to reduce symptoms with strategies and tools that boost mood and well-being.

Depending on the individual, recommendations for further neurological assessments or intervention may be included. This suggested intervention may be for neurological occupational therapy or psychological therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

What others says

I am always so impressed by the therapist’s commitment to and ongoing understanding of Claire and her situation. I am sure the rest of the family will share my thoughts so please pass on our heartfelt thanks to the therapy team when you next see them. Sister of brain injury survivor
I just wanted to drop you a line to say, whenever I call the office, Claire, in particular, is always very charming and efficient. She is a good representative of your company and has a nice phone manner and a good approach to customer service. So, thank you Claire. Mother of brain injury survivor
The following will never be enough to illustrate Paul’s journey but we are eternally grateful to the NHS, IM, ILS, Krysalis and the whole infrastructure that has been created for Paul. Yes, Paul is focused, determined and driven but the whole team have created a rehabilitation environment that has changed our life and Pauls future, they have made the thought of life and rehabilitation, turn from the impossible to the possible. Brother of brain injured survivor
The thought of having the family undertake this journey alone seems impossible and we will be always grateful. We all recognise that James is still on the rehabilitation journey, but there is no stopping him. He has just walked to Mum’s & Dad’s on his own (phone first to say he’s on his way)... what a way to celebrate the 2-year journey.Brother of brain injured survivor
I highly recommend Krysalis Consultancy OT services. Anna has been our life line since she came on board to help my husband following his brain injury. He has improved greatly thanks to Anna’s input in assisting him to become independent, teaching him step by step the simple things which we all take for granted. Anna is there for us 100%, teaching us both strategies to enable us to achieve better results.Wife of brain injured survivor
Just a short note to thank you very much for your hard work and persistence over the last few months, your guidance has undoubtedly helped and taken the pressure off me (I have benefited from the sessions greatly). I am really encouraged by the last few weeks and optimistic that if Peter keeps working at it he will continue to make good progress.Brother of brain injured survivor
