The NeuroCogntive Therapy Clinic offers 

  • At The NeuroCognitive Therapy Clinic, we provide specialised neurocognitive rehabilitation for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurodegenerative or neurodevelopmental cognitive conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. Our evidence-based programmes combine restorative and compensatory training to support memory, attention, problem-solving, and daily living skills.

    We offer personalised interventions including computerised cognitive exercises, memory and attention training, practical strategies with external aids, and lifestyle guidance to enhance independence and slow cognitive decline. Our approach integrates psychoeducation, emotional support, and, when needed, coordination with physical therapy or existing medical treatments—all delivered in a compassionate, culturally sensitive environment.

    Our goal is to help clients maintain independence, build resilience, and improve overall quality of life while adapting effectively to cognitive challenges over time.
